opinion that this viii be a great year
for fruit basing his prediction on the
facts that the coolest weather came
when the buds were in the best posi-
bic condition to withstand it, and the
extreme depth to which the ground is
frozen will prevent the buds from
swelling until the danger from frost
is past.
The Shullsburg Pick and Cad says;
-Four young Belmonters entered into
contest to see who could cut cord
and half of wood in the shortest
time, the winner to have all the pay
for cutting the wood. Gus Nodolf

than chucking dice. This is sug-

The Kickapoo Chief says: A stray
brass band struck town Tuesday
morning. They played a number OF
pieces much to the delight of the boys
and girls. After each selection the
hat was passed. If home musicians
received the encouragement that some
of those second-class travelling per-
| formers sometimes receive they could
afford to furnish us more music and

The Cassville Index says: If you
want your store-front to look business
like don't hang cigar ads and other
rubbish in the windows. Manufact-

be hung TO the light as soon as they
reach the store in the ''jay" district.
Let us have more business style in
everyday affairs; burn the rubbish
and make the place attractive.

If you have little farm or bust
ness, or steady employment and are

but one life to live and that is brief at |

earth and grab everything in sight
is at the foundation OF more misery |
than any other one thing Wealth
alone win never keep your grave green
when you are gone.
One of west Grants most respect
ed citizens, for thirty years or more
