We find it necessary once more to
remind our contributors that we can
not publish articles unless the name
of the writer is signed. We have re-
ceived several communications this
week without any name to indicate
who sent them. Of course we cannot
print them.
John II. Show is having the house
on Main street which he recently pur-
chased from R. N. Lemen considerably

comfortable dweling-house of what
was for so long an unsightly and dan
gerous old rookery.
Charles Myers opened the snake
season last Sunday by killing a black
snake three feet in length near Foun-

presents a mighty good snake story

shows conclusively that snakes have
fondness for music.

fatally five calves and a milk cow be-
longing to S. F. Lemen, who lives on

will make every effort to discover the
guilty parties and have them properly
punished.
