DID You HEAR THE MErEoR3
Vernon County Startled by Strange
Noise, Saturday Noon

Speculation ran riot throughout the
county last Saturday a. 10 the origin
of a strange noise heard about II 0 clock
that morning. Everyone gives slight
ly different version If the sound, des-
cribi1g it as an explosion, a roll of
thunder, the whirring Of an aeroplane
or the chugging of an auto So far as
we can ascertain, the disturbance was
confined to Vernon county, and must
have been caused by . falling meteor.
The heavenly visitor Seems to have ex-
ploded over Pleasant Ridge, several on
the ridge having heard the fragments
fall. Peter Clements dug up and is the
proud possessor of piece which fell
within few feet of him and buried
itself several inches in the ground. We
regret that the phenomenon did not &C.
cur in the evening, as it would then
have been grand spectacle.

CEMETERY AND MANAGEMENT
Secretary Mork Tells of Assessment
and Pays Compliments

Another memorial day has passed and
while our beautiful cemetery and its
condition are fresh in our minds | wish
to ask space for a few words in the
CENSOR, as that reaches nearly all peo-
pie interested.
In the first place there seems to be
a misunderstanding about the assess
ment levied by the trustees this year.
II is not to be considered to be an an
nuRl assessment, but will be repeated
as the necessities Ot the case demand.
1t is something like six years since any
effort was made at collecting any gem
eral subscriptions from the lot owners,
while few have paid some each year.
II this assessment be paid as it should,
by all the lot owners, and IL no doubt will
be, then it will be at least two years
before another payment is needed.
We are all grateful for the splendid
condition of the cemetery and for the
spirit OF loyalty always manifested by
lot owners and by the public in general.
! The credit for the work is materially
| due two men, J. Henry Tate and Jason
L. Glenn. The former has been presi-
dent of the association for thirty years,
and well has he performed his part.
The latter has been sexton more than
twenty-five years, and is equally as
valuable and efficient. He knows alb
solutely all about it. He works early
and late and is courteous to the people
with whom he does business. The way
the trustees look upon Mr. Glenn's work
can best be illustrated by conversation
which took place at the last meeting.
Mr.. Tate said: There is one thing
which has worried me good deal late
ly." 'Tell US what it is, said one.
Mr.. Tate replied. ~ do not know who
in the world will take Mr.. Glenn's place
in the cemetery, when he quits" | am
sure that ia the feeling, not only of the
trustees. but of lot owners and the pub
i lie in general 1t is to be hoped that
both men will be able to give US the
benefit of their experience efficiency and
advice for many years TO come.

Another Week of Telling Bushes.


That the necessity for silos in this
section is appreciated is fully evident
from the great number being contract
ed for by farmers and dairymen. A

silo may be saved in feed in one year,
and certainly that's worth considering
when it is shown in the light that Phil
