The person who had the notice
published was misinformed. and
that misinfOrmatiOn led to the mis-
publication. 1t is hoped the young
people do not feel agrieved over the
mlsinfOrmed announcement.
1t is a source of regret that an
nOyance has been caused by the
notice. 1t is one of the unpleasant
things about publishing news
paper, that mischievOus people, do
send false statements about their
neighbOrs to the press for publica-
ton. 1t is oftimes done in what
is called joke, but it is always
censurable and is as much con
demned by the publisher as by the
party for whom the joke is intend
ed.

y western exchange says, it is
IOt any wonder that the brave
soldier boys want to go to the
Philippine islands for they have
cad, ''The women are eXtrava-
gantly beautiful, they wear alb
brew lated dresses, have long
black hair, large, languOrous eyes,
small, bare feet, and they all
smoke cigars. They are Oriental
suLlner girls
We don't like that cigar vice in
women, but the rest of it is all
right. The abbreviated dress is
merely the custom of the country,
and for that there is alway a char
ity. What fine time our soldier
boys will have out there after they
have conquered the islands and
have time to turn their attention
to the affairs of Cupid's court.
William StOner, living in Fer
mana@h township, close by Shade
mountain was in town on Saturday
with a curiosity that he found uu-
Ger stump that had been turned
over, for fish bait The object
that he found was several inches
long and shaped like the skeleton
of a birds head. Two curved
bones project backwards from
the side of the back part of the
head. The projections were hall
as thick as lead pencil were join
ed to the head and tapered to the
thickness of knitting needle at
the end of the curve, which was
about 3 inches from the back part
of the head. 1t could not be de.
termined whether the object wa.
wood or bone. If a skeleton it was
bone. The question '.what is it,
remains undetermined.
