 Do not forget the watch night dance
 to be held tonight in the town hall by Shaw and Morenouse All who
 attend may rest assured that they will have a fine time as is always the case
 at dances given by these two local young men.
 Several townspeop1e have been
 heard to remark about teams and | wagons being driven over the yards
 and front lawns. Just at this season there is of course no grass growing,
 but because of the warm weather of late, the ground sometimes becomes
 rather soft and the wheels easily tear
 up the ground and make ruts. AL though not so noticeable now, in the spring when the grass starts to grow,
 the lawns near the road are torn up 1 and the grass does not present a. very
 good appearance. If drivers of wag- one would exercise just a little more
 care and thought when they stop at the different houses on some Of the | warmer days, it would be greatly ap- | preciated.

Whether this statement is true or not is not known for cer- tain, but if such is the case, it will 1 be welcome news to most people. i Since the pictures discontinued a short time ago, nearly everyone has been wishing for them to start again. 1 Although it was nor a paying prop
 osition the last time, it seems as if it should be if they were run only three days in the week.
