One of G. H, Campball's house
moving trucks with a sc, foot timber
was fitted up by the boys Wednesday
evening as a ship of state and drawn
through the streets to celebrate the
recent political victory. The banner
in front bore the name of Taft and
the one at the rear the name of Good
win. The ship carried a heavy
passenger lis, among whom was a
chorus of voices singing the praises of
the republican president elect and
the democratic sheriff elect. The
ship made a successful voyage around
the town, which We hope is indicative
of a successful administration for
both men named.

short some as to tail. Pat in his of
fetal capacity as nightwatch gave
some of the BOYS a warning Saturday
evening when they got TO be a little
too frisky, and it is supposed they
had a hand in taking the horse from
the barn and cutting its tail. The
fence on the west side of the ID. H..
LOTUS property was badly damaged.
Gates were taken off the hinges and
outbuildings overturned. A little fun
is all right, but some of the boys
evidently went too far.
