will offend nobody is a jewel, and the

There are several places on the side
walk between the Nagel and Roehry
corners which need filling up. When
a smart shower comes along a dozen
or so miniature lakes are formed.
They are about ankle-deep and make
the footway mighty unpleasant, not to
say impossible. 1t does no good to
cross the muddy street or to the west
side walk for 1t is just as bad in fire.

view of the money expended to make
our little city as it should be in other
ways-it is not unreasonable to insist

The st. Louis Iron Mountain and
Southern Railway Co. has a corps Of
surveyors looking out a route around
Gads Hill. They have been at work
about a month and have run several
lines. Tuesday of this week they ran
into the main line at the nothern edge
of our city limits. The last route and
the one that seems to give the best
satisfaction, leaves the main line some
thing over a mile north of Gads Hill,
runs to the east, comes down the branch
by Philippi church, down through the
shut-in, and. across the farm of Judge
Z. A. johnson and intersects the main
line as above indicated. A tunnel OF
some 1000 feet in length will have to
be dug under the backbone, just east
of Gads Hill; and when this is done
the surveyors claim that one of the
large engines will take 80 cars over
the mill. The company seems to be in
earnest about a route around Gads Hill
and Hogan Mountain, and it is believed
that q new route around these hills
will soon be an accomplished fact

weeks ago. This is Katrina's poetical
effusion in reference to the game:
"Ach, veil, dare vas a lot uf mems
Nit vildness in DER eyes
Vich if dey met der barber he
Would die yust NIT surprise.
"Vell after dot, dey vent to work
Und stood around a vile;
Und ven dey all got tired Wy
Dey sat down in a pile!
"Some fellows sat on somevun's head,
Some sat on somevun's fleets,
Und dem vot sat der hardest down
Dey vast der vons dot beats!
"Und den dey all stood ub vunce more,
Und den dey stood arount;
Und vun poor fellow he yust stood
Und looked hard ad der grount.
