From Macarthur Republican:

Thomas Parrish, jr., of Stella,
notice of whose sale appears in
this issue, will move in a short
time to Laureville, o., where he
will follow his trade of blacksmith

from our county, but it seems the
Parrish boys will all be black
smith and of course must go where
there is work in that line to do.
Success attend him.

following political squib. In a manner
which. in his day, was considered most
excellent wit:

agents of his evil schemes were Gates
by, Ratciff and LOvel. LOvel was then
a common name for dog and as

Why the Horse Ueeds the DuCler.

An interesting report regarding the
development of the musical sense in
horses was made by a committee OF
German biologists and botanists. The
report says The Investigations as to
the musical sense Of horses have shown
that that sense is very poorly develop
ed in these animals. 1t has been prov
ed beyond doubt that horses have no
notion whatever Of keeping time to
music. and that at circuses they do
not dance according to the tune, but
that the musicians have to keep time
according to the steps of the animals.
"Other investigations show that
horses do rot understand military
trumpet signals. It is only the rider
or the animals instinct Of imitation
which induces horses TO make the
moves required by the signal. but no
horse without q rider, however care
fully trained. takes the slightest no
tice Of a trumpet signal. and the same
observation has been made on a large
number Of cavalry horses without
riders"

TO look out for are little accidents OF
light and color, little effects Of chance
