The Bradford Era thinks that those
girls who are beginning to introduce the
"Grecian bend" fad ought to carry cane.

means. To the eye of TIE casual observ-
or the victims of the fad are objects oi
pity and commiseraton. They seem to
suffer.
The woods and forest lands are in
just about the right condition to take fire
readily, although we have heard of no

If the spring has been backward one
and 1t has been, surely-the past few
days of warm weather have made up for
good deal of the backwardness, as it has
been almost possible to see the verdure
push ahead. Leaves on many of the trees

lawn mowers are brought into requisilion
where the grass was still grey ten days
prior. Never were these signs more well

There are those who lay claim to
catching fine strings of trout, but it al
ways is we'll to take these stories with
Just few grains of salt. Alter all it's
the eating of the pudding that proves it,
and that's just what happened the other
day when Sheriff Noblit laid nice dozen
on the EDITORS table, as guarantee of
good faith. We can vouch that the Sher-

of the beauties, for they all sized up to the
situation, with several considerably be-
yond the requirement. Thanks, George.
