The JOURNAL came out last week
in a new dress and little larger than
OF old for which We congratulate the
editor. That old type ought to be
kept as an ancient relic. Some OF 1t
was doubtless used by Ben Franklin

Glad to see improvements. Give us
some more.
"A number will move their front
fences this spring and grade their
front yards, paint up and slick up pre-

in in year.
The game wardens were in force on
the Jordan about May /. They chas-

Bennington County, and in the Kill at
that, but il is lawful to fish in the Kill
until September l, while the rest of
the state closes August /.
The summer girl is digging dande-

pants in the rear and the golf links are
not open so he can chase the little
balls and get money to buy more-too
bad.
Joe Kennedy Of the JOURNAL was

the alive occasion, and with the new
