 The cut through the sand hill in Plumtrees to improve the road over the hill has left high banks. The sand. swallows and kingfishes have taken possession and have excavated holes to build nests in. The kingfsher lays from four to five eggs and the bank swallows about the same number. Sc far four kingfshers' nests and a dozen or more swallows nests have been To. cated. Five green herons' nests have been located in East Swamp. They build on the tops of alders and other low bushes, and lay four, and some. times five, eggs.
 The frequent showers makes the grass grow as we'll as the weeds. From present outlook there will be large crop of hay and oats. Corn is still look. ing backwards; potatoes, berries and vegetables of all sort bid fair for a good crop. The money crop will be better later on. Hatters' pay has been very small the past four weeks, which consequently makes money scarce among the workmen.
 The hat factories are heating up, this week. The prospects, for work is bet ter now on.

OUR NEI0HBORS.
BETHEL.
AN OLD sCHOOLMATE.

AN OLD sCHOOLMATE.
 Many years ago there was one boy that attended the public schools o1 Bethel that was looked upon as an in teresting fellow and always had his followera "Phil" could draw on his , slate . picture of a horse before an old fashion gig, going at full speed. His drawing represented Dea Taylor's old fashioned two wheel gig that the dea- con and his wife, Aunt Huldah, came to church in more than 60 years ago. Phil always had . pen of rabbits that was of great interest to all the other school boys. A York shilling piece was the price, and it was lucky boy that had the price, for to school boy in those days 123c was little fortune. A boy had to work all day raking after cart for six and quarter cents. Six pence was . good deal of money. Phil always manufactured his own go- cart, which every boy wanted. When Phil got tired of his old cart he ran over the stones and broke it to pieces and then built another better. One of PhilSnder Morgan's last experiments @ school boy was to make his tame crow say "Philo". Our friend had heard that by splitting the bird s tongue 1t could talk. It was done, but 1t could not say Philo bit better. The crow died and we have not heard since of . Bethel boy trying the same experiment.. If living to-day our school friend is nearly four score years of age. A very few of his old school mates are living who remember the man of younger days.

Evans, Mrs Leroy Stone and J. H. Baird sang selections at the house and at the grave. There were a large number of beautiful floral tributes. The Junior League, the primary class of the Meth odist Sunday school, and the pupils of Room No. of the Center school, sent beautiful floral tributes. Just before the casket was lowered into the ground the infant class of the Methodist church, of which the little fellow was . member, and also Miss Evelyn Mac kenzie's class, gathered about the grave and each placed small bouquet on the casket. The bearers were friends of the family. MT and Mrs Andrews have the sympathy of their many friends in their loss.

ONE of the topics upon which Demo

they have not had one good thing TO say
about it. II remains To- be seen, however,
whether Hon Fred VI Warner will be
given credit for reducing the expense of
this years census To- nearly one-half OF
the cost of that taken ten years ago. In
1894 the state census costs SS9,IS9. This
