$4,000 in New Schools.

Hampton has voted a $4,000 bond
issue which is to be invested in new
school buildings. The proposition car
ried by a majority of three to one.
Perhaps that majority is the most in
teresting part of the story. 1t shows
that Hampton realizes the Importance
of getting the best.

Local Hoa Market.

No change In the local hog mar
ket, bidders holding to the same offer
OF $7.70 for good stuff and nothing
in sight at that price. Just how long
present conditions will hold is in
doubt but raisers are as firm in the
enort to obtain eight cents the pound
for local delivery. Buyers do not
feel justified in giving this price
with eastern conditions on the pres.
,ent uncertain basis.

SOME SWEET DAY.

In about 1885, when we will
have mode our stake and can
print paper just as we please,
our personal column will lie a
great deal mole interesting than
II now is. Specimen locals then
to appear:
Ike Idler has finally married
off his last daughter. r h e
groom has the sympathy of the
entire community.
The reported elopement of Ira
Sims and Bertha Doll, last week,
was untrue, 1t was only an
other of Tot Skandle's lies.
Bill Kredit has bought new
seven passenger touring car.
B Il might now try paying some
of mis- overdue store accounts by
running.a general delivery and
transfer business.
Mrs. INA Leader gave another
of her semi-weekly social funct-
ions, Tuesday. 1t is reported
to have been even more of a
bore than the one on last Fri
day-if that were possible.
We are pleased to announce
the death of old John Grouche,
which occurred last night. The
body will be sent back TO his old
home for burial. 1t is believed
that this was because no local
minister would preach a funeral
sermon for him. You have
just read all the obituary he'll
