Frogs are very plentiful along the
river this season. A party captained by
II. p. Shoemaker were out one evening
last week and they met with wonderful

there would have been frogs enough to
send a mess to Skaters army.

the stairs, bruising her head and body
severely, though, as her physician dis

she was getting along pretty well.
Why is it, asks an exchange, that 9
man will gladly subscribe So fer a cam
paign fund and growl and swear over q
school tax of $500? Many people will
subscribe $40 for foreign missionary
work and rejoice to think what he has
done for the heather and when his school
tax of 81 or SO is presented to him fol
payment, he tells that those who have
children ought to educate them and tha
it makes no difference to him whether Of
not his neighbors children are educated

the 4th. His old customers are all stand
ing by him and he is getting new one
every day. But that does not discourag
/ him. and he will accommodate as man,

work.
