soon be on again, when we will take our
regular annual trip lin our mind, to Tio.
nesta where the "buffaloes" most do con-
gregate. Editor J. E. Wenk, of the For

10 distinguish between a buffalo sucker
aud muskellunge. But it doesn't make |
any difference. Both are good.-Puuxy /
Spirit. Such lamentable ignorance ofthe
buffalo sucker season is simply mex
,usable in even so unsophisticated an edi-

whiskey sling at this season of the year.

In accordance with an order received |
from the headquarters of the United |
States Leather Company, the four tan
leries in this section will be closed down |
'or an indefinite period commencing
lst. The plants are located at
Glade, Stoneham and two at Sheffield
md the closing will throw at least five
men out of employment. The
,ause of the shut down is not definitely
Known, nor is it known how long the
plants will be idle. While it is believed
o be for short time only, 1t may be that
'peratons will not be resumed for from
ix months to a year. Nothing official
,ould be learned from the tannery Of
icers, but it is believed that the suspen-
zion results from an overstock of the
inished product. Warren Mirror.
