 Hod Slocumb's wife went to make clam chowder totl1er day and was disgusted to find she didn't have nothing to make fl with except the clans. so she borrered the potatoes and other things offen Mrs. Abe Witherow and had real good luck with 1t.

 The wind biowd down the sign in front of Harve Illness tonsorial efn- poriun1. but Harve says he don't care a hang beings as he was going to get a new sign ennyhow-if he moved this spring.

 As we take tip our pencil 10 write our big rocking, chair with hot sopestone at our feet and a mustard plaster that is working overtime on our chest, our head is acking us fit to bust enny min nit Believing that one of our oldest inhabitants, Amzi Gookins, knowed what he was talking erbout when he perdickted nise warm spell of wether after March 1st, we like a blamed old fule took of one pr. of pants and a heavy undershirt, with the result that we got ketched down Snake Bend way in one of the worst biizzards that ever bIowed a gale. It was the worst we have had so far this winter or enny other winter for several winters and if they be enny more coming you will find us strickly attending to business at home or at the Bugle offise where we do first class job printing almost too cheep to git Twin out of 1t.
 Anizi, who thinks he's smart on per dicktin the wether. being as he has per dickted it several times and hit it--- but how could ennybuddy perdicl<t t several times without hittin 1t once or twise ?-Amzi he went and perdickted that March would come in this yeer as gentle as a lamb. When it went and come like a old buck sheep Amzi sed he got his signs mkt and tried to crawl outen it, but his name will remain sim ultaneous with the name of lying pro- phet to us for eyermore.
 Last Monday morning, erbout II a, m, while he was walking around to git news and subscripshion money, the wind begin to blow and the first enny- buddy notised that it was blowing enny harder than common was when 1t pull led the COW wether vane on Rufe At kins's barn up by the roots and carried it over to Widow Higgins's hen yard 1 Then the residents begin to look outen l the winders and peek out the half opened doors and realized storm was brewing. Along with the wind came a fine snow. When we left Alb Woods's house with a umbrella in our hand we | hadn't no more than stept outen the door srtil, a gust of wind turned il m on a pear tree in front of Deacon l Bradbury's< residence, where it still hangs. As we wallCt lords Bingville the wind increased in velossitty and almost took our breth away as it blowed us ! from one SluC OA IttS AO0o " N'S DNAA~' and chilled us to our marrow bones i Finally we reached home exhosted and that stiff with the cold we could hardly woggle.
 The next day we lerned our naber. met with several axidents. and some oi them, accordin to all aocts., was purty i hard hit. Mrs Jabe Crum, who allu' brides herself on doing her warshins every Monday morning, rain or shine 1 had her clothes all out on the line anc I didn't notise whot breeze was beinG kickt up until she heard turrible nois' on her back porch-wich she thort a first was Jabe stamping his cowhides-- foilered by a awful thump wich mad her look out To her horror she saw hole lot of bricks that fell offen th' chimbly throwd all around, while thu clothes she had put out on the line wa tore of by the vilence of the breez. and scattered all over Bingville. 4 pink underskirt of Mrs. Crum wal found fife next day a quarter of a mil west of the centre, and pr. of Jabe'

Miss Milly Underwood played a mouth organ obliEartoe accompanied by Miss Phronicia Watkins on the melodeum and it went of reel well.

M. and them as was present disperst to their va rious homes conshus of a ev'g well spent.
 Miss Susan Dewberry has pneuralgia in her face and applide a mustard plaster wich blistered her cheek. Owing to these circumstances Susan is not appearing in society. The blister is better. however. al this writing

DIRECTOR SMITH FINDS
MANA LAND VERY BAD

Director Jared G. Smith, Of the Ha-
waii Experiment Station, has reported
to Governor Frear on his inspection
Of the Mana land on Kauai, the sale
of which on Knudsen Bros appllca-
tion stands postponed owing TO pro-
tests. He states there is not mors
than 100 acres of the 1000 which would
be suitable for raising cOcOanuts. The
tract he regards as entirely unsuited
for homesteading purposes, and nd
does not consider it even well adapted
to the cultivation Of sisal. There Is a
depth of three or four feet OF sand on
a stratum Of very hard bed rock.
Rainfalls are rare and the land Is
windswept. An artesian well flows
10000 gallons a day with IS grains
Of salt TO the gallon, and when pump
ed will make 100000 gallons with 40
grains Of salt
The proportion OF salt is not killing
for sugar cane irrigation, but Keka-
ha Sugar Co. found, on trial Of the
land, that the ground took so much
water that irrigating it proved too ex-
pensive. Only q small portion OF IL
could be irrigated. although that por-
tion yielded five tons Of sugar to the
acre.
Governor Frear, while not yet hav-
ing made a decision, thinks that Mr..
Smiths report indicates that the Ter
ritory could not do better than carry
out the original plan Of sale.
