/. j. Balleugee, corresp, ndent

On Monday morning MIR Frank |
Stone placed small oil stove in his
cellar for the purpose of drying it out
and left, not telling the family. Soon
the cellar filled with smoke and began
to issue from every crevice and great
cry of fire was raised. The men rushed
in and succeeded in finding the trouble !
and soon the excitement ceased and no
harm was done. Moral, be sure to tell
your wife
The Woodmen s picnic occurred on
Wednesday as per announcement. The
procession starred from the public
square at 1920 m, headed by a lot
of men with axes. They looked rugged
enough to cut all the trees in the park
and have it cleared up in short order.
Then came the Arion band playing in
good order, then the Logan band and
more men with axes Then other PEG
pie and finally the man with the big
ak, but py the time they all arrived at
the park the sweet strains of music had
such quieting effect upon the men
with axes that the trees in the park
were not molested After more music
by the bands the speaker of the day,
Mr.. Jerry Green, Head Consul of the
/ Woodmen of the state, was introduced
and delivered fine address, relating
