Several of our citizens attended the
Crawford show at Utica last week and
report fine time there. 1t is too
bad that we have no suitable place
for some good show troupe to play
here.
Weather has been rather threaten
ing the past week and we have had a
little furry of snow with prospects
for more and we trust that we have a
good big snow to write about next
week.

certainly the limit, with no prospect
of getting better till we have some
moisture so that work can be done.
AS far as wheat is concerned they do
not seem to have the edge on us this
year in the way of prospect as they
are very dry in most places.
We notice that our Browne!l con-
temporary tells of the 'sIsrealite''
coming to their town, etc, and we
wish to mention that the Worthyl
gentlemen also denieged to let US
look upon the wonderful bargains he |
had and hear him tell of how sheep" |
he could sell them, etc., but we didn't |
bite and do not think he had very
much success in selling his wares.
Last week was cleanup day at the
cemetary and several of our citizens |
together with others from the coun- |
try met there and got rid of at least |
some of the weeds and trash out |
there. 1t is really disgrace to the
town that the Cemetary has gotten
in such condition and next spring
some preparations should be made to |
keep it in better shape. We would |
suggest that the authorities create a |
Cemetary fund, either by subscription |
or otherwise and then hire some one |
to take care of the whole of the GEM |
etary and keep it in good condition. |
In making it someone's business and |
holding that person responsible for
the upkeep of it, we will be in
shape to see that it is done properly,
but as long as we expect everybody
to look after it we will have Just
what we have got now.
