NOTES FROM
SANDYSToN

ports Sandyston will have hand
in the mix-up.
Our census enumerator will soon
begin his work and the blanks are be
ing distributed for each one to I'LL,
and from reading them over II would
seem that Unolo Sam wants TO know
all about you and the questions must
be answered.
April lst was a general moving
day and our streets we're full of
movers nearly all day.
The fine weather and good roads
were appreciated by all.
Seth Shay the new merchant at
Layton occupied his store mouse and
is ready for business. Frlnk Mckee
by former occupant moved TO his
store at Bevhns.
Some of our road overseers have
forgotten that there is such a thing
as loose stone but there is and entire
ly too many to suit the travelling pub
lie.
The weather was fine for moving
day, and the roads we're in good or
der, and every body is glad that it
is over. Strengthening up things is
next in order, and il is hoped the
good weather will continue.
Some of our farmers are blowing
and others will follow suit this week.
The ground in many instances is
reported dry. If drouth COM
mences now it will be hard luck for
the tiller of the soil.
Local option is bound 10 come in
the near future, and the sight Of a
young man staggering drunk on our
streets, is a very convincing fact that
it cannot come too soon.
Will Major of Tuttles Corner offers
his dairy for sale on account Of not
being able to secure the necessary
help on the farm. Scarcity OF farm
help is getting to be serious matter
in this valley.
Anson Jaeger purchased 4 calves
at the sale of Seth Shay at an aver
age price of 500 each, and only five
months old at that. In watering
them from leaky trough, he filled
the cracks with white lead, and the
result is three are dead and the
fourth one may die.
What a nuisance the loose stones
are in our roads, and If the overseeI
will not do this duty remove him,
and put some one in who will do his
duty.
The fire last week of the stock
and buildings on the farm of Bevans
brothers swept buildings and con-
tents, nothing saved.
There was an insurance of $40 or
each cow, and $500 on buildings. but
this does not cover the loss.

his hOre TO Newton on Sunday
when the animal seized his righ
hand in its teeth almost tearing tn,
thumb from the hand, and did no

crowbar in the hands of Floyd Fulle

ten him twice before.
