will have one of the best farm houses

a dance at j. G. Dimmick's and an
Ice cream social at I. r. Maltbie's were
the centers of attraction for a number
OF young people last week.
Now that we are getting the streets
pretty well graded up our wide-awake
business men are talking cement walks,
aud that means we will soon get them.
M. c. Cavanaugh has bought another
line tract of land, at a bargain. 1876

fine lot Of hogs as can be found any.
where, at least In these parts. for every
day quite number of men go down to
the old creamery to look at those hogs,
and some report them as being fine for
hot weather.
That boat we spoke of last week was
launched the other day and on the very
first trial 1t tipped over with six persons
in it-just as we predicted, and the
worst of it was that the boys didn't
have their anti.wet medicine along, but
the doctor was in the lot and saved all
their lives.
Another little mixup in town last
week and, as usual, Tom Blake got the
worst of it. It has gotten so that when
there has been fight in town we just
ask who the fellow was that hit him
for 1t is the rule for Tom to be one of
them. Gene Wright was the other fel.
low this time.

Mr.. Wolcott said:

fear what course he might pursue

VALUE OF THE BIRCH.
What Old-Time Writers Regarded a.
Its Speciality.

It's Speciality.
Old writer's in mentioning birch
trees seldom failed to say solemnly
that they were useful to grow
branches with which to give hoys
thrashings. Turner regards the sup
ply Of flexible, pendent branches for
purposes Of punishment as the chief
merit of tae tree. Coles also based his
estimate Of tire birch chiefly Oh its
use in tie supply of rods as iEstru.
ments OF punishment, for he writes:
"The civil uses whereuuto the birch
serveth are many: as, for the punish
ment of children. both at home and at
school; for it hath an admirable in
fuence upon them to quiet them when
they are ont OF order. and. therefore,
some call it maNe-peace. In ancient
Rome the fasces of the lictors, with
which they cleared the way for the
magistrates, were formed with rods
of birch, and their influence was usu-
ally sufficient to insure rapid dis
persion Of men assembled where they
would impede the passage OF the ad-
ministrators of the law From that
time to within a comparatively recent
period the birchen rod was regarded
as one Of the most important deter
rents OF juvenile deprayity4

HAIR NATURALLY ABUNDANT.
When 1t IL Free Of Dnndruff, 1t Grows
LuxuriantIy.

Fair preparations and dandruff cures,
as a rule, are sticky or irritating affairs
that do no earthly good. Hair, when not
diseased, grows naturally, luXuriantly.
Dandruff is the cause of nine-tenths Of
all hair trouble. and dandruff is caused
by a germ. The only way to cure dand-
ruff is to kill the germ; and. so far. thc
only hair preparation that will positively
destroy the germ is Newbro's Herpicde-
