The Attica-Belvidere accommodation
evidently has heart trouble, at any rate
it suddenly went dead at Lake City
last Thursday afternoon where it re-
NAMED for about eight hours. 1t was
lucky for the passengers that this ailment
came on at Lake City instead of out in
the country.
The horse race which was dated for
last Saturday afternoon came off just east
Of the Hogard place in the presence Of
about 100 people. The race was one
quarter Of mile and was won by the
Smith horse but the victory was not an
easy one. Both are good horses and
neither has much room to crow.
After being on the fence" for some

port and Miss Woodward the program
closed.
All because Of &c dog big amount
Of animosity was Stirred up between two
men Of this vicinity and the air was lit
orally turned green with the rotten in
sulting names which they called one an
other. A good fist fight would not
have been half so bad, although neither
is very creditable way Of settling a
difficulty.
Did Homer Hastings and Bert Ken
nedy miss the train last Friday accident
ally or on purpose? We have evidence
that Bert shed some pretty good sized
tears because Of his belatedness but
whether they were genuine or not is a
question. Of course it is understood
that it makes little difference with Homer
whether the train leaves on time or not
as he has no little ones at home yet to
look after.
