V. M. Parker lost his valuable fox
hound Thursday mig ht. 1t was taken sud-
denly i'll and died in a short time as IL
from effects of poison. Mr.. Parker has
marketed nearly one hundred dollars
worth OF fox and martin skins this season.
He would not have taken SIS for the dog.
w. a. Pope started to haul Silsby's large
boiler to Barton Landing one day last
week. The boiler and sleds weighed $500
lbs. and it required six horses to draw it.
At point near Eleazer Mitchell's, the
road bed was not hard enough to hold the
heavy load and as result the boiler re-
| poses IN the ditch to remain, no doubt, till
the snow is gone.
The rally at the hall on Monday night
| was we'll attended although the notice was
short. The speakers carried conviction
with their words for they had the appear
snce of honesty in what they had to offer,
and although they were fighting in a To-
| sing cause the result was shown in the
vote on Tuesday, which stood 119 Nos to
| 36 Yes. No one can criticise Lowells
stand in this matter except perhaps that
the vote might have been larger if every
voter had got out to the polls. Those who
stsid at home the state over, have them
selves to thank for whatever we may suffer
in the future from the liquor traffic Be
sure to bring in your no license vote on
Tuesday, March 3rd.
