We are very sorry indeed to have
to chronicle the fact that our fellow
townsman, G. w. Hoff, is very seri-
ously i'll. Warren has been for
many years an industrious and hon.
orable citizen of this village, whose
genial nature has won for him an
unusually large circle Of friends.
All who know him will be as one in
their feeling Of regret and sympathy
and all will join in the hope that his
illness may take turn for the
better.
If poet or orator should arise in
this community, and we should be-
come aware of the fact, we should
certainly not withhold our praise.
And if some of our citizens display
"gifts" in other lines, shall we be
doing our duty if we fail to accord
them recognition? We do not think
so. Therefore, we just want to say
that when the provender threatened
to give out at the Community Picnic,
and billed ham was not procurable
and things looked like Hoover, Floyd
Goodfellow proved that he was an
artist in the emergency. He hustled
down town, got about quarter sec-
ton Of cheese and few cans of pi-.
mento and was soon giving quantity
production of sandwiches that made
folks positively happy. Best we ever
ate. And so, here's our compliments
to him. His sandwiches were a whole
lot better than whole lot Of poetry
that comes to the attention of the
editorial profession. And while
we're on this job we want to express
our appreciation of Floyd's hard
work in helping to clean up the ruins
of the old Willis block. He did rath-
err more of that hard work, we think,
than anyone else, and it was a job
that benefited the whole community.

DOG TAXES

Dog taxes in the township of vi
emma, are long past due, many of
them, comparatively few having been
paid to the clerk, as required by the
statute. The clerk is required by
law to make every possible effort to
collect these taxes and this notice is
fair warning to those who have not
paid that the list of delinquent dog
owners in the township will be
turned over to, the Prosecuting At
torney, on the first day of November,
so that he may take whatever action
he may deem advisable. The pay
ment of dog tax is just as much a
requirement Of law as the payment
Of any other tax, with the added
fact that a fine of $500 is provided
for non-payment.
Respectfully submitted,
Charles H. Reed
Township Clerk.
