The Winthrop News goes after
the cotton wood as follows: The
cotton wood trees in town should
be declared nuisance or at least
trimmed. During the past week
the flying cotton has been the pest
of all and the merchants have been
considerably annoyed by this stuff.

who will retire at the close of his
present term. Speaking of Mr.. Sc
ward S closing argument the Mar
shall Reporter says: "Mr. Seward
got up with blood in his eye and
satire sticking out all over. He

drew up pictures of their revival
meetings was something entirely
new and striking, though if Mr..
Seward does not get bodily injury
during the week it will be surpris-
ing.
