ever thus.
The drug store of M. e. Robin
son & Bro. has put in a new foun-
tain, which very much improves
the appearance of the store and is
much admired by their army Of
customers. There is really no bes
ginning or ending of the soda
fountain season now, as they are
run all the year through, but Of
course business is somewhat better
during the warm weather and spe-
cial preparations are made for
this season.

From his appearance it looked
as if Ballard had paid particular
attention to his dress and It is
hard TO believe that he should
be SO very particular about such
things just TO go on a visit TO
friends, especially when he is
usually SO Indifferent and when
it is taken into consideration that
he has not passed the age when
the ~prefermenb Of a bachelors
abode becomes chronic.
Most Of the county schools
have concluded their four months
terms, and teachers ard children
alike will now devote themselves
to other aYocations. It is a great
pity that the country schools are
not more extended in duration of

day is not far distant when such
will be the case. In some neigh~
borhoods Of the county, we are
glad to note, arrangements hav5
been made for entered schools,
to be continued until the pupils
help be needed on the farms.

mess for his heslth, which is al
ways good.
