FENCING DISTRICT.

A meeting was held last week and the matter of creating fencing dis trict for this section of the county was discussed Various ideas as to the extent of such a district were sug- gested. The general opinion of those present is that if such district were organized it should include all that part of the county west of Village Creek. A committee of three was elected to consult the people of the western part of the county and see just what sentiment prevailed, and they were also directed to draft peti- tions if they deemed it expedient, and arrange for them to be circulated in order that the people concerned might be able to express their wishes further. J. N. Hout and J. k. Dunn from Bird township and w. D. Will Hams of Jefferson township consti- ute the committee. The committee will appreciate voluntary express sion from the land owners, regardless of their views in the matter.
 A letter from w. M. Valentin, who has interests in the Eastern part of the county, was read at the meeting. A copy of the same was printed in last weeks Independent. He sug- gested that the entire county be made a fencing district. Those interested had no objection but thought if resi- dents of other parts of the county are interested they might make it known and any proposition from them would be considered after they were made known

 The past year has been very successful one in financial way for both these institutions Their de- posits are greater than ever known before. The Bank of Trckerman de- clared dividend of 10 per cent. The Citizens Bank reported their gross earnings to be 21 per cent of their capital. Inasmuch as this was the close of it's first year the stockhold- CTS decided not to declare a dividend but placed it's entire earning in the surplus. The present outlook is that their present prosperity will continue through another year.

The past week has probably been the coldest and most disagreeable weather ever experienced by most of the inhabitants of this section. We'd nesday and Thursday were very cold and were followed by a heavy snow, which began falling Thursday after noon and which continued most of the night and far into the next day. The weather cleared Friday and the air was intensely cold by Saturday morning. Temperatures ranged from 12 to 20 degrees below zero that morning and everything freezable was frozen hard. The mercury did not pass four above during that day. Sunday night began with rain which continued all night and much of the next day. The rain was ac- companied by much sleet, all of which froze as it fell, or shortly af- terwards. Late Monday afternoon snow began to fall again and before if ceased more than three inches cov- cred the several inches of snow and ice which had preceded it, and which
