The Young Peoples Literary So
ciety did we'll at their basket social

to the Bigwoods church towards pur-
chasing a bell.
The ladies OF part Of Bigwoods and
Oak Park surprised Miss Mathia
Gjelhaug on last Thursday, and
presented her with quite a purse of
money.
Webbing bells were ringing in this

Clerk OF Court T. Morck says it
lacks only nine marriage licenses to
make just one hundred issued this
year, and as he would like to round
out the year with an even hundred he
hopes intending applicants will make
no delay, but march right up to the
clerks desk.
Josiah Thomas received a tele-
gram Monday sent from KaIispell.
Montana, by his sister, Miss Minnie
Thomas, stating that they were bad
Iy shaken up and bruised, but still
alive. From this it was inferred that
the Thomas family had met with
some kind of railway accident on
their journey westward. From the
daily papers, we learn that the west
bound passenger was wrecked near
Essex, Montana, at 2 O'Clock Sunday
morning, owing to the spreading of
the rails, and that one person was
killed, several fatally injured, and
number badly bruised and scratch
ed. The cars of the rear section of
the train, were all badly wrecked and
some of them turned over. The
train was going at the rate of IS
miles an hour, and all the passengers
were asleep when the smash came. A
scene ofindescribable commotion and
confusion ensued, and to add to the
horror the day coach was set on fire
by the broken lamps. The railway
employees and the unframed passen-
gers Immediately set to work to res
cue and care for the injured. Accord
ing to another story the wreck was
not an accident, but crime, deliber-
ately planned and executed by IN
known parties, perhaps discharged
employees.

The First "Rummage Sale"

Morrlsett Brothers are truly ente r
prising young men. Besides being al
vantageonsIy located IN the new and
handsome Futrell building with the
pretty and attractive sidewalk in fron t,
they are alive to business every hour IN
every day of the week.
Last week they advertised through
The COMMONWEALTH and on hand-b1lls
printed by THE COMMONWEALTH a new
departure in a"Rummage Sale" which
they proposed to run for two days. For
The sale they had made special puf-
ehases at very low figures and gave
their customers and the public gener-
ally the advantages of the extra bar
gains they had.
The result was that their stores, both
general store and millinery depart
ment, were almost over-run with happy
customers all day-some coming even
before BREAKFAST, and some as late as s
o'clock at night.
ALI counted, as many as three hun
dred ladies visited their store in a
Single day. These enterprising young
gentlemen are doing the public favor
in this new and popular departure in
their business, and when they have an.
other "Rummage Sale" the folks vii
be sure to go.

Injurious Frost.


Twice during the past few days frost
has nipped vegetation In this COM
munity, and the news from various
parts of the State says that the truck
has been injured some.
About Wilmington and Goldsboro
beans, peas and berries were damaged
considerably.
The exceedingly late spring and the
late frosts call forth the observation by
some that many years ago it was noted
that there was frost every month in
the year but one. So alter all it may
not be as bad this year as it has been
in times past.

the numerousfo forms of adul-

Ii found different to this
representation, we will for
felt the value of the paint,
and the cost of applying it,
in all instances.
When applied intelligently
and honestly, it should give
satisfaction in every sense, if
the surface is in proper con-
dition: but the consumer
and dealer will note that we
guarantee only the paint
not the application OF it;
and we do not hold ourselves
responsible for the results,
either of bad work, or from
applying the paint to sur
faces whose very nature or

morning, after short illness, was
very sad affair, and in the loss of
one of the members of their family,
Mrs. Clifford and her people have the
sympathy of the community. Miss
Florence was fourteen years of age,
and was one of the brightest little
girls in Washburn, and all held her
in the highest esteem. She was a
universal favorite. The little girl
had been sick but week, and dur
ing that time she wasa patient suf-
ferer. Friday night it became evi-
dent that something must be done
Immediately if she would live, and
al operation was performed by Doc
tors Spears, Hosmer and Dodd, for
appendicitis. The little sufferer
never rallied from the effects of the
surgeons knife, and passed away
Saturday morning. The funeral
was private one and the remains
we're taken to Ashland, where they
were inferred in the Protestant
cemetery of that city.

work of rescaling to the satisfaction
Of all parties interested. The White
Earth Chippewas claim that much
more green timber has been cut on
their reservation than was permitted
by the regulations, and the secre-
tary of interior having decided that
such timber cut illegally shall be
paid for at the highest market price
for green timber, instead of tile
lower prices fixed by the department.
for the dead and down timber in
tended to be cut during the opera
ations, it is a matter Of great i'm
portance to the Indians to have the
scaling accurate, as well as to de-
termine just what PERCENTAGE Of the
total cut was green timber. The
operators are also deeply interested,
as decision that any timber cut is
green imposes upon the payment Of
more than double the prices that
are charged for dead timber. II
will probably require two weeks te
complete the rescaling Of the reser-
vation
