Twas a poor Mississippi Editor who
perpetrated the following /: Fish down

editor is hungry and the piper bout to
bust. We've trusted yo} for several
months, and did it with u smile, SO just
return the compliment and trust to us
awhile. Our wife she needi some stock
ings and the baby needs a dress; Jimmy
needs some breeches and - does Kate
and Bass. Pud is on the Hpg train and
Peggie sick with grief, and food gosh OIL
mighty, can't you bring a man relief?
Shell out the nickels and dig up the
Times, turn 'em loose and whistle and
we'll have better times; lhee'll be few
er patches in the bosom of our pants,
and we'll make a better Iaper if we
have half a chance. Don't live us that
old story. long gone to seed bout taking
more papers than the family rants to
read, but help to feed the printer and
he'll help the town to grow and thus
escape the sulphur il. the regions down

GIANT POWDER.

an Irishman bold, whose name it was
Mick.
He loaded a hole with a big giant
stick.
He hammered it down with a small
iron bar
and the shot it went off with a
terrible jar,
For poor Mick.
Where he is now, would be hard to
relate,
For no remanents were found, not
even his pate.
lie never came back for his poor
miners pay
IT'S said he's been zone a veal and
day,
Our poor Mick.
Maybe he's round in a great airy space
And being distigured, won't show
US his face,
So everyone calls him a great blasted
fool
And abuse him of course, to keep
up tile rule,
OF Old Nick.
MORAL.
Don't fool with powder, bat a good
warning take.
Make use OF a stick, when your life
is at stake,
Have enough fuse, and dpn't use a bar,
Or you'll end just as Milk did.
As smart Rs you are.

Last fall during the County Fair
Ed. Dickinson rode his bicycle to the
fair grounds and left it for moment
while he stepped into the Secretary's
office to attend to some business.
When he returned he found his wheel
had disappeared. The matter was re-
ported to the officers but no clue
could be obtained that would lead to
its possessor The case was turned
over to Sheriff Jones who after dill
gent inquiry and persistent pursuit 10.
Gated the wheel in Oakfield township,
in the possession of Nels Hansen.
The sheriff went down Monday, OBJ
tanned the wheel and returned it to it's
rightful owner Hansen claims to
have obtained the wheel at the fair
grounds, from some parties who dis
posed of it by means of "ratfling.u
He claims to have ridden the wheel
from the fair grounds up town, where
he put in his fathers wagon and took
it home and has since had it his pos
session. We are informed that he will
have to give an account of how he OBJ
tanned the wheel in the District Court

surrounding circumstances, he will
probably have to suffer the consequent

for the skill and tact that he has
shown in locating the missing proper

Prof. F. P. Hooker reports the at
tendance in the schools to be unusually
large in the various rooms, there being
$50 pupils enrolled. Ninety. three are
now enrolled in the high school room,
which exceeds the highest enrolment
of last year by eight. The number
will no doubt reach 100 during the
winter when the attendance is always
the highest. The Audubon schools are
the pride of the people and the many
years OF superior supervision under the
present superintendent has raised the
standard Of the schools until they are
second to none in towns much larger
in population. The work is so we'll
systematized and classified that it is
expected that this years work Will
bring greater results than any former
year. The intelligence of our nation
depends upon the intelligence of its
citizens. Our hope the children.
