The weather the past week has been
very remarkable for this season of the

shine like Indian summer. There has

grounding day. and perhaps he will
bring about change OF weather.
Effective the 18th Of February, greatly

Last weeks issue of the Dramatic Mir

Last Friday night thieves played havoc
with Nelson Wilson's winter supply OF
bacon. Sometime during the night Mr..
Wilson's meat-house was unlocked by
means of duplicate key and the thieves
stole seven pieces OF meat, leaving the
owner but five. Mr.. Wilson's hogs were
very large ones, and the loss is heavy,
as the rascalS took the best of the meat.
When they had gotten all the bacon they
could carry they locked the door OF the
meat house and quietly departed, leaving
no clue behind them. This is time
when Sergeant Shipley'S proposed blood
hounds would have come in very handy.
