The popular and speedy trotting
horse, Major Wilson, and some of his
colts, are being worked out daily at the
fair ground tract 1t is believed by
those who ought to know that it will
necessitate a 2l0 clip to beat the
Major if he is right. A two-year-old,
with Ed. Holmes up, can beat anything
that will let him by. But without jok-
ing, Ed. has a very promising colt
1t takes but little push to start a
stone rolling down hill, and many a
heavy-hearted human being has been
sent into the depths because of push
in the wrong direction. 1t may be be-
cause it is easier to push than TO pull
that we move along with the crowd,
saying inwardly, leach one for him
self, and scarce think it worth while
to lend a helping hand where it is
most needed.

Mr. and Mrs. 7. J. Howard of Dali
lis, Wis, have been guests during the
past week at the home of Mrs. E. w.
Sylvester. Mr.. Howard is brother of
Mrs. Sylvester and the latter's feeble
condition was the prime cause of their
presence here. In early life Mr..
Howard resided in this county, coming
hither from the east in 1850 with his
parents, who settled at Highland. So
long is it since he departed from here
that scarcely any one of these parts
whom he knew is living now. He adj
mits of being a wanderer and lover of
pioneer life. The far west and north
west have been his stamping grounds.
