llttHH NnHt-We u not venture pTeulC-
tlon as to the length of time. But good,
round hundred days OF continuous sleigh
ing is surely a good enough record for
this latitude. Barring day now and
then, a sleigh would run better than a
wheeled rig. What chump would ask
for more?
Michael Pallone, the Italian murder
or, was hanged at Brookvile on Tues
day of last week. Tho Democrat says OF
the other convict awaiting the hangman's
moose in that county: Aiello. who was
to have been hanged with Pallone, but
has been granted respite until March
l5 to permit his case to come before the
pardon board, was on the verge of col
lapse at the time of Palone's execution,
being completely unnerved.
An Ohio woman corresponded with a
man whose advertisement she saw in a
matrimonial paper, sent him S25, became
engaged to him and went 10 New York,
where he told her he had place in gov
ernment building, to marry him. There
she found him in jail and later saw him
tried, convicted and sent to prison for
forgery. Girls thinking of conducting a
correspondence with a stranger may well
ponder these illuminating facts.
--1he plaintiffs in the equity case of j.
NJ. Bemis & Son VS.. II. A. Shipe, collect
or of taxes of jerks township, have ap-
pealed from the decision of Judge Lind
sey, and the case will be heard in the Su-
perior Court, which meets in May next.
The case involves the interesting point as
to whether the county has a right to levy
a tax against sawmill that is erected on
leased ground. Judge Lindsey held that
the county had such authority, and gave
a verdict against the plaintiffs.
AN increasing interest is manifested
in the work of Clarington w. G. II. u,
the present year. A number of soci ais
have been held, one in memory of Nc
Clean Willard. Also, their annual thank
offering aud memorial service was held
on the 18th. A very interesting program
was given and refreshments served, fol-
lowed by social in the evening, which
was very enjoyable. The thank offering
amounted to considerable for their treas
ury. MARY #. IRWIN, Press.

Here is a sample of wedding notice
in 1920 as foreseen by the Achison Globe:
1.-The bride looked very well 10 travel
ing dress, but all eyes were centered on
the groom. He wore dark suit that fit
ted perfectly his manly form. large bo-
quet decorated his coat lapel, and in his
daintily gloved hand he carried clus-
ter of American beauties. His hair " as
cut close and delicate odor of barber's oil
floated down the aisle as he passed. The
young people will miss him now that he
is married; he is loved by all for his
many accomplishments, his tender graces
and winning ways. The bride commands
good salary as ook-keeper, and the
groom will miss none OF the luxuries to
which he had been accustomed. A crowd
of pretty young men saw them off at the
station
-Ashtabula claims the latest swindle
through the use of the United States
mails, the same being c. ]. Wright. His
phony was the United States Bible Com
pany and the Religious World and il was
the graft to send out letters to the clergy
men of the country, telling them friend
had entered their subscription for the
World, but omitted TO pay for it. Incl
dentally the guileless servant OF the Lord
was informed that his name had drawn
the Twentieth Century edition of the En-
cyclopeda Britannica in prize contest,
conducted by the company, but that il
could only be forwarded alter the sub
scrption to the paper had been paid, the
amount being $l5O. When the money
began rolling in in bunches, the postal
officials became suspicious and after an
investigation, arrested Wright.
For the second time this winter the
ice in the river has broken up and pass, d
out. Although the river was check full,
the break up occasioned no trouble here
whatever, starting about five O'Clock
yesterday morning, and not making
enough disturbance to waken any con-
siderable portion of our citizens. 1t is
scarcely probable that we will have an
other freeze in the river, though in
the light of past experience we wouldn't
like to guarantee it. On the West Side
the ice gorged in the culvert where Hun
ter run goes under the Pennsy tracks and
inundated the flats there to the depth OF
about three feet, but no damage was done.
In Tionesta creek the ice tore some of the
planking off VIM. Lawrence's suspen'
sion bridge, making it unsafe. Mr.
Lawrence contemplates erecting a new
bridge this summer.
