We are pleased to notice the
increased pull together" spirit
of the citizens of Elgin and the
farmers of this vicinity and if

to society. and the knock often
works more injury to ourselves
than to those whom we are en-
deavoring to injure think it o.
yer.

From the amount of noise that
was made, by yelling and other
wise, in town Sunday afternoon,
one would suppose that a bunch
Of hoodlums had been turned
loose. One of our citizens said
it was q bunch of ''hill-billies'
who had never been in town be-
fore.
