the alarm among his associates and IN few hours
dozen or more of the notes haG been found scat

which were dangerously ike the genuine issue,
we're collected by treasury agents in Newly ork,

forwarded to the chiefs office IN Washington
All Of this happened one busy Monday

tanning the identifying peculiarities OF the note
were prepared and sent out through the o1lclai
channels to warn the banking institutions OF the
appearance of this dangerous counterfeit. In

The mail route from Calvin to Mack

John IS and things will be moving some

Wheat has come along so fast since
this time last week that many farmers
in and around Mack felt compelled to

a number kept their team and harvest

save the crop.
Next week We hope to see the steel

An important change was made in
business circles IN Hannah this week
when the Linden House was transferred
to the pro%prietorship of S. T. Hart, for
years Hannah's popular drayman. The
hotel has been operated for three years
past by G. NJ. Lawson, whose farm in
t%erests and threshing rig demand his
entire attention, hence his retirement.
The citizens of Hannah were greatly
alarmed on Tuesday when it was dis
covered that a detached store-house in
the rear of McGrath Bros general store
was on fire. A legion of citizens with
buckets were promptly on hand, and
with a chemical extinguisher, the fire
was soon controlled. 1t was the first
scare of the kind in many years, and had
it occurred in the night, might have re-
suited seriously.
