1t was too wet to plow last Satur-
day, and the number Of people who
came to town with their wagons fol
various kinds Of supplies, furnished
encouraging evidence Of the farming
activity that Is in progress in the coun-
try surrounding. There were a num-
ber Of ladies in town from the country
and the business Of the stores was
good.
There has been much local interest
during the past few days because of
the charges of blind tigering brought
against the managers Of w. H
Adamss barber shop. The cases were
made by the drag net process, and
some 1S or 20 witnesses were subpoe-

Smith plead guilty in three cases on
condition that they be not fined more
than $100 each, nor sentenced to i'm
prisonment for more than 60 days, and

they may have paid their fines. Char

in three cases, one after another, and

everybody pleased with the days trade.
Mr.. Strauss said: Because Of the late

attempt regular opening at this time;
but still we wanted to make some kind
of a show before Easter and we just
went to work and did the best we could.
1t seemed to me that the ladies had as
many hats on exhibition as they had
last Spring, and they have been hav-
ing a lively time back there. Calling
back in the millinery department, the
saw Miss Bludworth and
Miss Cone. Both were delighted with
the days work except that Miss Cone
tnat so many of her pat
tern hats had been sold during the day,
that she would have TO work overtime
to catch up. But we had good day
of it," she said, and it looks as If 1t
will be busy season."
