mother and child doing we'll and
Louis getting better all the time.
Four dogs died Monday night from
the effects Of poison thrown out by

he does. II that party can be spotted
an example should be made Of him.
You will please remember that Ham
mer & Condy are still doing business

A large company of new settlers,
headed for McHenry, passed through
Cooperstown last Friday. There we're
about 40 in the party and they came
through in a special car. They hail
from Crawford county, Wisconsin.

DR.. Brimi made a very successful
operation upon John johnson, who
lives North of Cooperstown, las,
Saturday. He was assisted by DIR.

was very aggravated one and the
vermiform appendix, that little part

| The dog poisoner is getting in his
work again, this time DIR. Bergstron's
big dog is the victim Of the poisoner.
The doctor wants us to say that he
will shoot any dog that goes into his
yard. The Courier doesn't blame
Mr.. Bergstrom from being angry a
the loss of his dog, ut the same time
it would not he right on his part to
shoot some dog whose owner is abso
lutely innocent. At the same tim.
dogs are personal property and i
might be expensive shooting.
