which fell for about six hours last
| Saturday. Although the weather bu-
| reaus reported clear weather, the
| snow began to fall early in the
morning and continued to fall with
out intermittence until shortly after
noon. However, the ground was wet
and the white flakes only added to
| the water as they fell to the ground.
The snowfall was the most continu-
| Gus and the heaviest that this COM
munity has seen in several years.
There was quite a good deal of
fun in the Wild West show at the
carnival which exhibited in Yorkville
last week, on account OF the show
peoples announcement that they would
| ride any local mule, horse, cow, ETC.,
that might be brought to them. Mr..
r. Cleve Dunlap Of Yorkville No. 3,
has two mules which no person has
| ever been able to ride. The two
| animals were brought to the carnival
| Friday night and the word having
been put out that Mr. Dunlap's mules
were to be ridden, there was quite a
large crowd on hand. After some time
| spent in getting "set," n Of the
| riders with the show mounted the mule
| which appeared to be half frightened
to death, and refused to bulge. Then
the second mule was mounted. This
animal appeared to have much more
spirit than its mate. For something
like five minutes, 1t vaulted and
twisted and turned like a dog with a
bag tied to it's tail, and the rider re-
| ceived a rapid series Of severe jolts,
to the great amusement Of the audi
ence, but the man finally got the best

urday. AN II yer want any at that
| igger, you had better register early,
cause the supply Is shore limited.
This new tangled gallon a month law
has sure played the dickens with the
blind tiger business" he continued.
1T used to be that a Teller could git
other fellows to order the stun FOR
him and some of them ordered pref
ty often. The man who ordered the
liuuor was given a pint for his trouble.
| But now a Teller has to have more
| friends to order for him than ever
and in fact, the time is soon coming
when additional friends will have to
be made in order to keep the ball
a-rolling. The tigers is shore water
ing their liquor now" continued Mr.
They Say. Zone gallon Of liquor
makes about two and a half gallons Of
the 'rot-gut' stuff they are selling,
and let me tell you,' he said. as he
made a wry face, its an awful
dose-would make a government mule
| sick. Up to the time this here gallon
law went into effect, 'rot-gut' could
be bought for 60 cents a pint, or 81
a quart. Now the price around York

| don't get 1t no cheaper by buying a
quart. 1t Is mighty scarce at that.
Don't never see no sealed liquor for
sale round here n more. It has
