A Turkey Yarn.

The following story was told the
other day at Davidson's store, but
we will rot vouch for its truth.
The proverbial grain of salt will
have to be very plentifully sprink-
led over it.-.in fact it seems to us
that it will take several grains of
the saline article. 1t appears that
a mighty hunter while prowling
through the forest in search of
something to blaze away at, saw a
turkey-a monstrous gobbler-
perched upon log, which log was
just across a little stream. The
heart of the hunter beat SO loudly
and thumped SO hard against his
ribs at this discovery, that he was
very much alarmed lest it should
disturb the regal bird, Without
further AGO he raised his trustv
fowlingspiece to his shoulder and
fired, and plunging precipitateIy
through the smoke, and the river,
likewise, in the direction of his
target, he found not one turkey,
but five quivering in their death
throes, pierced through the heads
and held together by his ram rod
which he had neglected to remove
from the barrel of his weapon.
The first turkey was 20 large that it
had cOnceaed the others, which
were sitting in a direct line behind
it. With JOY unbounded the hun
ter staggered homeward with his
prizes, and after eating those five
turkeys has lived to tell the tale.

THURSDAY, FEB. Is, 1897.

The winter OF 1867 will long
live in the memory of South Db~
Gotta residents as one of snow
blockades aud snow shoveling.
Itlhas been and is now a winter
that is not very likely to be duD
plicated again in the next ten
years" says the Mitchell, S d.,
Capital. We on the contrary
have enjoyed a very mild winter,
not great deaf of rain, aud very
little freezing weather. But if
the Northwest has been blockad-
ed with snow, people who come
from there say it means u full
harvest next summer. Hence,
if the heavy snow appears to be
curse now, it will really turn
out to have been d blessing later
on.
