jim scofield's Big I has made it's
appearance on the South Prairie
Speculation is keen as to whether the
unindustrious truck gardener will

A certain venerable Scot, whose
popularity is as pronounced as his
! good deeds; whose charity is perhaps
/, less apparent than the cultivation of
outward and visible signs of what the
heart feels not, deemed once upon a
time that the eighth commandment
applied not to the possessions of I'm

gave to another that which conscience
should have led him to relinquish. So

the manner of many Pharisees. But
the ninth commandment is as binding
as the fourth and should be read,
marked, learned and inwardly digest

day forth III use you for my mirth,
yea for my laughter, when you are
waspish.

Mr.. J. C. Ooard and family have
so long been identified with our town,
each in their separate sphere contrib
uting to the rapid growth of the dis
trict, that the rumor of their depart
ure to Montana, gains little credence.
Fields farthest off are not always
greener, and we can but think that
Logan on the 500 is sufficiently far
removed from Chicago to justify the
continuance Of our local Sears Roe
buck. We shall not say good bye in
any event, just au revoir.
