One day last week on the Green
bush road, near the M. E. church,
DR.. Cooney broke an axle of his auto
mobile. He was driving at a very
moderate speed when he ran into a
deep depression in the center of the
road. There was water in the road
and the chuck-hole was not discerni-
BILE until the machine bumped into
it. 1t is disgraceful that one of the
oldest and most important roads in
the county should be in such a de-
plorable condition. The accident
will cost the doctor fifty or sixty
dollars.

One Of our county contemporaries

farmers to stand by a Minneapolis

western company and it's principal
object is to keep western money in

the benevolent insurance company

companies for that matter, is to put
money in the pockets of it's stock
holders. <

"Oh. yes. ! SHALL" he replies con-

doubts on the matter when he COM

agreement with those Of the similar
contracts he has made with Ger

American, and Lady Constance
Stewart Richardson, the equally
temperamental Englishwoman.
This lis where the difficulty lies
in this triple alliance OF antagonistio
temperaments, each hoping to rise

other two. Each OF the three stars
has not been content with ensuring
herself getting what she wants when

tried to prevent the other two from
gratifying just as many Of their pet
desires as she could. Many men Of
