RINGVILLE, Dec. l2.--We have
noticed for some time that the north
ern part Of the county has been omitted
from the columns of the TRIBUNE, and
we take It for granted that its CORE
spondent from this locality must have
been 'ssnowed under" We will there
fore take of our cap and make bow
to the TRIBUNE readers IS we'll as the
force and hope We can keep them
posted on the local happenings. We
wish to say, however, that we are new
in the 'sbusiness'' but hope the peo-
pie will not expect too much. >. In our
''ways" OF gathering up news items,
if We should accidentally happen to
step on someone's toes, We must beg to
be excused, as We are actually born
good-natured and hope thereby that
people in general will look only on
the bright side Of our scribblings.

Threshing is still in progress north
of Lintonville. On account of the un-
usual wet season threshing had to be
postponed until the ground froze, and
as this big snow followed shortly af-
ter, little or nothing has been done.
We understand that the farmers have
to haul the grain to the machine, as
it is impossible to move.
