Fred Hosley. brother o. cbAs. III.
and Allen Hcsiey u ths town aud
Frank Hosley Of Bopdyille, died Sat
ar,iay evening. He had been sick for
hong lime. He came 70 his brosher's
early ia The summer in The hopes be
might improve. He had been patient

three children.
II la talking few days since with
Nd Morris 81 Dorset, one OF the pros.
porous farmers OF thai vieinity, be said
be believed everything was going to-
well somewhere. On being asked
how many COWS he kept and bow

don't let outside matters trouble you.
We read much that is given us in
the city papers, not that We believe 1t
worthy ofcredence, but W compare the
writers lack Of knowledge with our
own There is some unexplained
principle or property Of the human
mind thai allows us 10 formulate theor-
les thai We almost know W be OF no
value whatever. and writer's will oil
columns predicting this and that, offer
ing advice, giving opinions, etc, that
the public generally never think Of
again. For ten or fifteen years Lee J.
Spangler Of New York has been pro-
phenying notable events, but for the
year 1908 he declares terrible things
will happen, but The credulous may let
that, with the predictions Of politicians
that everything will 20 10 the dogs un-
less their fayorite be elected, give them
no concern as il will in no wise affect
those who attend ~ their own affairs.
