pleased to hear of it.
Frank Nordman from the south eide
tells US that some miscreant poisoned
his entire pond of fine fish last week by
putting paris green in the water. This
is serious loss to Frank who has spent
lots of hard work and money in getting
such fine lot of fish as he had, and the
party who done such a dastardly, low
down trick as to poison them, should be
given rope halter without any cere-
monv.
Next Saturday will be red letter day

far this season. W. F. Othero will also
have big horse sale at the Mo. Pac.

fractions should draw an immense
crowd to town; make arrangements to
attend both these events.
