 The Sun as incubator.
 This little hot-weather story is somewhat belated. considering fne present temperature, but it demon stEAtes how hot the weather was in Dayvtlle a few days ago. A resident there who owns a hen that was then matching a set of eggs found that she had quit the job. This may have been on account of the heat. So the man, supposfng the chance of a hatch had been spoiled, dumped the eggs into a coalhCd as refuse. Later happening to glance into the bod he found the bot tom of it covered with newly matched chicks. The sun had done it's work!
 Supervising Road OiIing.
 H. H. Davenport. an inspector for the state highway department, has been supervising the work of distrib- uting oil on the road between Daniel son and Elmville. This year the work is being done in a manner that indi- cates that some lessons have been learned from the experiences in spreading the stuff last year, and the indications are that greater degree of benefit is to be derived from it this season than was then the case, not to mention that there is being eliminated the danger of being Spat- tered while driving over the freshly oiled surface.

GOVERNORS VETO
Regretted by Friends of Souvenir
 Taylor.

Sympathy is expressed in this city by the many friends of Souvenir Fay Tor in connection with the veto by Governor Baldwin of the resolution appropriating s4,50O for the publica- ton of the Legislative History and Souvenir. On the strength of the ac- ton of previous legislatures, Souvenir has invested about S70O in getting sketches, pictures, cuts and for the incidental expenses pertaining there to, and the governors veto now puts him in, a position to lose that amount. This expenditure was, of course, at his own risk, but the sympathy expressed is none the less for that. An effort will be made next week to repass the resolution in spite of the veto.
