Philanthropy of the Right Kind That
Is Appreciated in Audubon.

James Law now charges ten cents

and twenty-five cents to ride from
one depot to the other or to drive
to the resident portion for passengers.
That is step in the right direction.

HARD WINTER
Signs of a Hard Winter, an Exchange
Says, Are about Us. Better Stock
Up Your Coal and Wood Piles.

That the coming winter is going to
be the hardest for ten years, there is
abundance of signs to show and
among them it may be mentioned that
the corn stalks are foot and half
thick and all the stalks lean to the
west. The geese, ducks and chickens
are growing coat of fur under their
feathers and are rubbing boraX on
their feet to harden them up. All the
one eyed owls are leaving the country
a month earlier than usual and the
bob tailed squirrels are laying in sweet
potatoes as we'll as nuts, for winter
provisions. The farmer who has
taken the trouble to investigate has
found that all the toad stools on the
old logs have wrinkles on them. The
last time that this happened we had
winter that froze the handles off OF
plows. Rabbits are sitting around
with hnmped up look to them and
field mice have wrinkles on their tails.
If this means anything it means &c
degrees below from December toMay.
