 Atlas Peck will deliver an address to the public Wednesday night if his lemon gets here in time Sim Flinders says if man is ener. getic there is always plenty of work for him to do after he comes home tired at the end of day. He can go out and see if the hen has laid, and can measure the vegetables to see if they are doing any good, pull up few weeds and throw them over into his neighbors lot, stop the cracks in the | pig pen, correct the children every few minutes, gather up the garden tools out of the front yard, and last but not least, eat corn bread for supper.

This progressive step was taken on account of so many people having complained lately ot his hay ing pulled the wrong tooth. It is al so believed that public sentiment will demand that he soon install two sets of tongs, one for the horseshoeing de- partment and another for the dental department.
