OF a lew uOuIS, Ouc Udy ldsI WEEK,
Will Young thought that grim death
would rob him of one OF his best work
horses, but they rescued it right on
the brink of the grave and nursed the
animal back to life and health.
Fred Heileman and Tom White
had a battle, last Tuesday morning,
with a band of weasels who had been
purloining their young chickens and
succeeded in capturing all OF them
except the old nanny weasel who
made her escape.
Mrs. George Young and Miss Bessie
Marshall and Mrs. Olaf Jensen, from
Extra, while driving up to Audubon,
Tuesday morning, tarried for a few
moments at the Station and contem-
plated the beauties of nature that
surrounds us and then continued their
journey northward to the county seat.
A few days ago Mrs. Maggie Ban
ning-Abbey arrived from Saint Joe,
Missouri, to visit her mother and sis
ter at the Wib Smith home. Mrs.
Smith has not been enjoying very
good health of late and will return
home with Mrs. Abbey, visit down
there Tor a time and try the effects of
a milder climate.
Alex Mcclure went out to Fred
Weeks home, Tuesday morning, and
brought in that span of matched colts
that William MCGUIRE purchased of
that gentleman, and now Will sits on
the front porch of his store and gazes
across the road to where they are
feeding, biding the time when they
will be large enough to drive.
In behalf of the Young Peoples
Alliance, of Hamlin, we wish to re-
turn II thanks to Mr.. James Elrod
for the use OF his pleasant room. Also
to Mr.. Will Mcclure for his many
favors. and to the kind friends who
helped to make the sociable a success.

Early last Monday morning Char
ley Spencer was taken violently i'll
from the effects of some poison that
seemed to pervade his whole system,
and for a few hours was a very sick
young man. His sister, Miss Emma
Spencer, informed us, on Tuesday
day morning, that his condition was
slightly improved and he will doubt
less be himself again in a day or two.
Miss Lille Wirth had a happy and
novel experience, last Monday even
ing. She is attending school up at
Audubon and one of her schoolmates,
Miss Grace Cameron, presented her
with a bicycle and the little lady
made her first attempt to ride a wheel
from Audubon to her home, at the
Station, after school was out. She
made a splendid beginning and in a
few days will be able to ride about
the country with the greatest of ease.
The new combination Disbrow
churn and butter worker for the Blue
Grass Creamery arrived last Thursday
and is a model of neatness and dis
patch. 1t is cylindrical in shape, closes
up tight to keep the cream cool and
so that no flies can get in the butter
and is capable of churning and work.
ing seven hundred and fifty pounds
of butter at one time, by simply
changing the gearing to the machin-
cry of the churn. When Buttermaker
Fred Heileman and his assistant, Tom
White, get the floor space of the
Creamery to suit them they will have
things as neat as a parlor.
Last Saturday noon as Engineer
George Murray came speeding along
with his engine from Audubon in the
direction of Hamlin and when he got
near the farm occupied by Mr.. A. j.
Story he spied three calves who SEEM

the track in front of the train. He
was intently watching that side of
the engine and when about to pass
the animals another calf whom he had
not seenjumped square upon the track
in front of the engine and was ground
to a shapeless mass beneath the cruel
wheel. 1t was a very fine animal and
