Our Big Creek Correspondent writes
that someone stole keg of beer and
four quarts of alcohol from the refriger-
ator at the Big Creek creamery. The
butter-maker is forced to drink butter
milk now and there is distress in
that quarter. Immediate steps are be-
ing taken to have the guilty ones ar
rested and the joke may turn upon the
perpetrators. In the meantime the beer
will no doubt have disappeared so the
calamity will have to be borne. Cur

these latter cities on her side.
Plymouth is AgOg.
