much pleasant weather.

Our itinerant artist is doing rushing bust

our comprehension. The girls here all prefer
to walk, and slow at that-yes, goodness, so
slow. A young couple walked half day
here and their shadows still covered the first
track in the snow. It's the wrong notion got
out. Fowler girls are excellent workers but
most of the men have ambition enough to

Fowler band did themselves proud by render
ing several violent selections. Everybody
seemed to enjoy themselves, SO our wife said.
The Prof. didn't go home Saturday, prob
ably due to ''news" getting abroad and he is
a little leary of facing Meade damsels. We
would advise him to go along without fear,
for no doubt they themselves have been hav-

be even. That was our experience when we
were young.
Alex Mahieu has so far recovered from his
recent mishap as to be seen around town
again.
Cha S. Butler and his sweetheart visited at
Walter Burford's Wednesday.
We are told that the Christian Endeavor
society will soon give an entertainment of
literary character. Good talent has been Sc
cured and this bids fair to be one of the best
of the season.
The popular belief in Fowler is in free
range. This is drawn from visual evidence of
practical facts.

settle his hash, We are going to

There are are lot of 'sold fogies"
who think they are about the s'whole

there is to know, that a young man
must not try to tell them any thing.
They will call him youthful and say
that he has a lot to learn. That
may be, and is true in great many
cases, but the Lord pity the young
man that won't know more than
some of these fellows when he is as

the date of the commencement of
the term of Office of the county
