Mrs. Mary Buckley was very
pleasantly surprised last Monday
evening by about twenty of her
friends and neighbors, who took adj
vantage of the occasion to celebrate
Mrs. Buckeyes sixty eighth birth

swarm the night of April 21st with

ian play. The offering will be the
new four-act melodrama, For her
Sake. dramatic tale of love, intrigue
and treachery- play which, accord
ing to things told OF it in other cities
where it has been seen, contai rs
about as many thrills to the minute

to be enriched with some lively and
original comedy effects.
The filing at 500 River,
which was put in to take the place OF
the big bridge, has suffered col
lapse and is in very bad shape. A
large portion of the filing has been
carried away, sinking out Of sight
when the frost went out from under
it. A large amount of work will
have to be done in order to put the
work IN proper shape. The county
board will likely take definite action
upon the matter at the next meeting,
meanwhile the place is being fixed
up temporarily in as good condition
as is possible.
We have a few bushels of King
Philip seed corn for sale, guaranteed
