some of her laws, but l notice that

The hunting season opened on the
1st inst. and the incessaut report Of
tuns made me think of old times
along the skirmish line when bul
let's and not shot was in front of the
powder. Every possessor of II gun
was out, and a fine lot of game was
killed. Rabbits are numerous and
quail are not plentiful, and should
be protected, but will Le slaughtered
just the same.
Election will be decided ere this
appears in print, for which the pub
lie will be duly thankful For
weeks the papers have been full of
arguments against one candidate or
the other or long winded argument
favoring one or the other candidate
We will all accept Tuesday s decision
as final, but your scribe cannot help
hoping that the Nebraskan will get
there with both feet.
The extra meetings now in prog.
ress at the M. E. church, at Layton,
will continue through this week and
longer if they meet with any sue
cess.
Mrs. Mary A. Lifts moved on
Monday last from the Smith place
to that of Mrs. Emma Raesor on the
hill.
Some of our people are finding
fault because the holding of the
present election was changed from
Bevans to Hainesville A great
many have expressed themselves in
favor of building a town hall at Lay
ton, which Is about the centre of the
town and If the people will retain
this feeling until the spring elect
ion it can be carried through. II
would make a place for all town
business, meetings, elections, lect-
ures and so on, and every one would
know the place of meetings. Give
us a chance to vote on the question
l see that Pike has held its Teach
ers Institute, and don t see why II
j. did not write it up in detail that
we Jersey teachers might see what
was done. We will have one after
awhile over here, but have not heard
the date.
Mercer Jaeger, of Madison, N. j..
visited his parents near Dingman:
, last week and took hand at hunt
ing. He returned to Madison OF
Saturday with his game.
Miss Flora Raser has just return
ed from her visit to Deposit, N. Y.
much improved in health ant
weight.
Corn husking is done, and only
, few stalks to care for, and that end
the fall work. People can talk elec
ton matters and lament or rejoic
: as the case may be.
There is one violation of our gam
: laws that should be stopped and tina
is the setting of traps and dead fall
for the capture of rabbit and quail
These devices are set for the taking
of skunks, but everything that get
in is taken care of and they are Sc
for rabbits just as much as they ar
for the skunk. One neighbor tell
me that last winter ne had thre
cats caught in traps and each lost
leg. Hunters should smash ever.
: trap they came across.
Miss Fanny Snider and Miss Cor
Hursh are spending week visitin
friends and relatives in Newark an
, New York.
