and wagon factory last Friday about
noon. The roofof one of their large build

more and there would have been hot
work for the fire department.

Harry Downing, of Siverley, brought
to the Derrick remarkable freak in the
egg line that was laid by one of his buff
leghorn hens. 1t is two perfectly formed
eggs of the average size but like the ST.
amese twins, they are joined together by
ligament-like substance. The only
manner in which the twin eggs differ
from an ordinary egg, in addition to the
band that joins them together, is that
they are soft-shelled.- Derrick. Isn't that
about the only way the measly things
could be born, anyway?
The placing of galvanized barrels or
sheet iron boxes along the main thorough
fares OF the town in many places, forming
recepticles for waste paper, banana peels
etc., is an example which should be en-
ulated by evey we'll regulated and up to
date town. The littering of a main street
with such rubbish is an eye-sorc to the
town, and strangers and sojourners are
not favorably impressed with commu-
nifty which allows it. At very little ex-
pense or trouble a wonderful improve
ment in this direction would he effect
ed. Who will take the iniative in Tio-
nesta?
Fred Bristow, who has been cooking
for camp Of woodsmen near Golinza for
the past two months, finished his job and

was there he baked 1853 loaves of bread ,
and used OH an average 275 pounds of
meat week. The boys at the cap ev-
identity appreciated Fred'e style of get
ting up a wholesome meal for when he
came to leave they presented him with a
very handsome gold watch and it is need
less to say Fred is very much elated over
the receipt of so beautiful a token of es-
TEEN at the hands of the hardy woods
men.
