Our townspeople are complaining
OF having to send to other towns for
their fresh meat. This ought not to
De so, the town with Oakfield is sure
~ able to support a moderate sized
shop which should be so conducted as
to never lose customer for want of
meats OF all kinds to be had on call.

engaged, one day last week in re-
moving binder from shed, when
corn planter wheel fell from a pin a
distance Of four feet, striking the
lady squarely on top of the head, cut
ting wide cash and telling her to the
floor. Our physician was called who
proceeded to take several stitches in
the scalp. She is now doing well
and no serious consequences are likely
to result.

This class has been under the super

Mrs. Sloan, the PASTORS wife, and

b. f. Simpson is having cement
walks laid at his residence on Trou-
olesome wherever needed; and as his
barns, ETC., are across the highway
from his house, he is having cement
crossing laid across the road. This
will be quite an outlay in cash but
after examining the sidewalks at Ex-
ira and Audubon heis satisfied it will
be money in his pocket in the long
run. The contractors who were in
Extra DO the work.

was in town Monday visiting his SON,

commodating deputy county clerk.
Mr.. Hansen, ST., who lives tour miles

good old Scandinavian spirit and
pluck. He is now the owner of 24O
