-Lanson Bros. have still an abundant
supply of home ground feed at their mill,
Notwithstanding the trouble they're hav-
ing with the motive power of the plant,
their new engine not having yet arrived.
But 1t is expected every day now, and
they hope to be doing custom grindir g
again before long. But if it's flour or
feed you need don't hesitate to call on
them.
w. A. Grove has made another horse
deal-the third in as many weeks-and
this time he has purchased a spanking
span of sorrels, They are nicely matched
and drive as one horse, and "Ab" thinks
he now has pair that will suit him, but
if, after fair trial, such should not be
the case, he will try another and keep on
trying until he is suited "it it takes the
hull blamed summer"
Ernest Behrens, Jr., has completed a
new dwelling on his farm on German
Hill, and has gotten nicely to house keep
ing. He will hereafter shove his feet un-
der his own dinner table, cool off under
his own shade trees, and in winter toast
his shns by his own fireside, with his
family gathered about him in the even
tide. What monarch could be happier
than man so situated?
The bass fishing in the river has been
extra good since the season opened, some
very fine catches having been reported.
Charlie Anderson, who seems to have the
science "dowu to demonstration, !" lifted
out five before breakfast near the river
bridge one morning last week. John
Bush also gets his share of these gamey
denizens of the water, and the fellow that
goes out bassing with him seldom gets
left.
1t has been observed that some BIZ
cyclers are again infringing on the ordi-
nance prohibiting sidewalk riding. Not
to any severe extent, but just sort of feel
ing their way now and then, apparently
to see show 1t will take" The council is
determined the law shall be strictly OBJ
served, and some pleasant day these vio-
lators will have to settle for their ventur-
ing, and then they won't be so gay. a
word to the wise, you know.
People are now on the lookout for
what is known as the Spanish war veter-
an racket, says an exchange. A good
many hobos who have secured an old
uniform from some source palm them
selves off as soldiers of the late war, play
ing on the well known sympathy of all
classes for the soldier. By this means
they jump freight trains unmolested and
"work" the public. Spanish war veter-
ans on the road should have their papers
to show.
1t makes all the difference in the
world what kind of a burden man car
ries as to how he complains of the load
says an exchange. Twelve pounds OF

Half a mile to church is long walk,
when ten-mile tramp around billiard
able is recreation.
There is quite flagstone walk senti-
ment now in town and number of our
,itizens have ordered the stone and will
ay their new walks with that sort of ma
,erial. 1t wouldn't surprise us to see
to thirty rods or more of fine
lagstone walk in town in the next three
nenths. It's the common sense walk,
md shuts the mouth ofthe sidewalk COM
nittee of councils for all time to come,
which is not the least consideration in
the first cost of putting it
lown.
The Derrick's oil report for May
shows that 751 new wells were completed
n the Pennsylvania field and that 969
igs are up and wells drilling, being an
Increase in the former of p and in the
after of 1876. Tho new production is 2,040
,bls. In the Indiana and Ohio fields 354
wells were completed, with a new pro-
luction of G, ,l65 bbls. and 455 rigs and
wells were under way, an increase of l1s.
IN the Scio pool about as many wells
we're completed as in April, but the new
production shows considerable de-
'rease.
