The editor is in receipt of a souvenir
postal card from Miss Anne Medley
Austin, formerly of Arcadia. The
card was mailed In Habana, Cuba,

morning of April goth. On the card
is a reproduction of ''the narrowest
street in Habana." Miss Austin writes:
"Dear Mr.. Axe: This is one OF your
friends from Arcadia Valley. Have
just left the Isle of Pines. Am now in
Havana en- route for the United States.
Find everything grand here"

tives of the contracting parties being
present. After the ceremony the party

The collections of county and State
revenue for the year ending March l,
1908, amounted TO over $50, 900,
against about 1924, 900 last year. This
cut down the collectors commission
from elk to five per cent, the total
amounting to about $1,000. At six per
cent. last year the commission was
about $1440. So, in effect, for the
extra $4,000 collected this year the
collector gets only $50 increase of pay.
1t is perhaps unnecessary to state that
the law allows six per cent. on col
lections under 1926, 900. and five per
cent. on collections exceeding that
sum.
On Wednesday of last week Coroner
Clarkson held an inquest on the body
Of an unknown nan who was that
morning found on the railroad track at
Vulcan switch. On the person of the de-
ceased was found an Identification card
stating that the bearer had worked on
a section on the Cotton Belt road in
Arkansas. The name on the card was
r. M. Kilmoor. Coroner Clarkson has
written to the section foreman who
signed the card but up to this time has
received no reply. The deceased was
about t~wenty-one years of age and but
five cents in money was found on him.
The body was badly mutilated and sev
eral trains had probably passed before
it was discovered.
M. Butterield told the NeWs mar on
Wednesday that the outlook was very
favorable for a big crop of apples,
strawberries and cherries. He said
there would be a few peaches and
pears. These are the fruits that inter
est our home people most, He re-
quested us TO state that now was good
time to fight borers in young fruit
trees. He says a liberal washing of
the body of young fruit or shade trees
with a solution of soap and water in
the proportion of one pint of soft soap
or one pound of bar soap to one and
one-half gallons OF water will kill all
borers that may be on the tree and
rey are pretty sure to be there

pumpkins is the man who plows all

paper from year to year quite full he
plans his advertisement in a thought

his business on a rock.-Eg.

Such items are often absent simply be-
