g. f. Watson, of Kelettville, and II

The first snow of the season visited
us last Thursday, 18th inst, but was
scarcely visible down here in the hollow.
Out on the hills, however, the blizzard
was quite noticeable, had the beautiful"
not melted about as fast as il struck the
ground there would have been several
inches of 1t. The weather has been
pretty much all right since, for which
we're all duly thankful excepting the
''gas man."
Att meeting Saturday night of local
business men who have subscribed for
stock in the Indiana Copper company, A.
j. McCray was selected from the fifteen
men to go TO Oregon and investigate the
property and prospects of the Indiana
company. The representative of the
company in this city is A. p. Dutton and
the meeting at the Brunswick hotel has
given him much encouragement for the
company's interests in this city.-Titus-
vile Herald.

"A farmer residing near Mercer, says
the Western Press, made up bill of
groceries amounting to $40 from the list
of department store in Chicago, and
was about to send the order and money,
when it occurred to him to ask local
dealer how much he would take and put
up the goods. No mention was made of
sending the order away and the grocer
figured up the list at regular prices. His
There is moral in this.
"A large dwelling house owned by T.
d. Collins, the Nebraska lumbermsn,
and located up near little Coon creek
above the village, was burned to the
ground last Friday morning between
and o'clock. The house was occupied
by Fl. r. Weaver and family, who saved
but little of their household goods, the
fire when discovered having gained such
headway as to make it impossible to save
much from the flames. The loss was a
total one 5000 on building and S4OO on
contents, there being no insurance on
the property.
-Supt. Morrison has issued an elabor-
ate program of the teachers annual in
stitute which is TO be held at Marienville,
beginning October 30th and lasting till
Saturday, November 4th. He has corps
of we'll known instructors engaged for
the occasion, together with some excel

be taken up with lectures and other at
tractive entertainments and it is exp cted
to make this the best institute held in the
county for many years, the Superintend-
ent having spared no pains nor expense
to get the best for the occasion.
Last weeks rain gave the lumbermen
of this section good boost, in that a
nice rise in the creek allowed practically
all the boats and barges from Grunder-
Vile, Hickory and Nebraska to get started
for the lower markets. This will put the
material out of the way of possible
lreeze-up later in the fall, something that
happens now and then, and the owners
and jobbers are doubtless much relieved
by the "outlet." Collins, Darrah & Co.
and the Watson Lands Lumber Co., OF
Nebraska, have started or have here
ready to start total of "a boats and 7
barges. The boats were loaded with an
average of 5O,OOO feet each of good hem
lock lumber, or 100000 for the run,
which was in charge of the jobber, Ly-
man Cook. The Warren Lumber Co., OF
Grunderville, started II barges and s
