Woodson Terrell, of Pleasant Hill,
spent few days in the city this
week. He has sold his farm there

Cortland is certainly putting on
city airs this fall and no telling what
may happen to this village in the near
future. Pres Dark. w. O.. Morrison
and T. ]. Haner all have painted their
houses and fixed up their premises.
We would not think much about
Morrison and Haner, bat why is Pres
putting on so much syle? We sur
mise that a good looking widow or
old maid is the attraction.
Mayor Hull had little funny ex-
perience last Sunday afternoon. He
started out to the electric light plant
to look after some needs and went
ont Pine street to the railroad and
then north along the track to the
plant. Just before he reached the /,
plant he passed a few box cars stand I
ing on the switch and just before he
reached the cars he heard great
scramble and much noise. He began
to investigate and when he reached ID
the cars he saw several boys of ait II
ages and description jumping over
the stock yards fence and getting
away in great haste. He discovered
that crap game was in progress and |,
the boys thought he was going to
make raid on the game and hence
they all fled in great confusion. Thet,
mayor had no such ideas and il
amused him very much and he
thought it was quite joke on the
boys. The buys better move next
time above the plant or on the south
