w. r. Hamilton has devised a moved
scheme for digging postholes without la
Dor. His experiments this year have
proven SO successful that he will go into
the business next year on a much larger
scale to raise postho!es for the market.
AS there is ct no patent on the scheme
we are at liberty to say that the process
is quite SHINE. Wherever a hole is de-
sired he plants a parsnip seed and when
the parsnip has reached the size of the
hoe desired it Is pulled, being careful to
let the hole remain in the ground. A
sample of his la~bor-saving hole diggers
is on exhibition at A.. M. Stevens & Co..
which measures twenty-seven inches
long and twelve and a half inches in
circumference.
The dance at Union Monday night,
under the auspices of the Woman's Order
of Foresters, was in every particular a
social, as we'll as a financial success.
Esma's orchestra furnished the music for
evening, but during the midnight hour
while the orchestra and a majority of
| the dancers were dining at the Model res
%taurant, several first-class waltzes and
two-steps In rag time were rendered by
Miss Maude Jones and enjoyed hugely by
those fortunate enough to be present.
DR.. Parsons has a case in hand tina
he proposes to outdistance DR.. Tanner
with. Andrew Stonge for over a year
has unable to retain food on his stomach.
Violent vomiting follows every attempt
to eat, and consequently he has become
greatly reduced in strength. DR.. Par
sons has had him in charge for five days,
during which time no food has passed
| into his stomach, and the doctor declares
| there shall be none for two months.

How badly the local political situation
is mixed Is shown by the offer to bet $50
that no one can pick out five winners
from the many candidates in the field for
county offices. The proposition stands
ope for lack of takers, and IL any one
wants to register a guess all they ave
to do is to put up the list n dollars.
