H. T. Woodward & Son have put

There is no grumbling about dry
weather. An inch of rain Friday
night and as much Sunday with
several other showers thrown in for
good measure. How'd you like to
be the corn man?
The new steel bridge on Bird
creek mile west of Forest CITY is
nearly completed. 1t was badly
needed by the people who have to
travel that road. 1t is very sub
stantial and there to stay.
T. L. Sales of Mingona township
was been down sick last week and
is just beginning to be able to be
up. Uncle Lewis doesn't get down
very often and when he does the
old boys always take notice of it..
There is a law limiting the num-
Der of certain birds that may be
killed by one man in a day but

B.L. Drake and C. C. Horton, two
of Hazelton townships energetic
farmers, were in the city last We'd
-nesday transacting business at the
court house. They reported things
lively in their part of the county.
The threshing season having open
ed, the Hazelton elevators are all
busy. They were surprised to find
it so quiet at the county seat.
Tom Collins stole an overcoat
at Wichita last week and pawned
it for money to get gloriously drunk.
1t cost him twice the value of the
garment to square matters after he
sobered up. We hasten to say that
it wasn't our Tom Collins. Our
Tom isn't fool enough to steal an
overcoat during such temperature
as we had last week.
Judge ]. n. Tincher departed
