There has been change of
schedule in the C.. &. NV. railway
under which the northbound passenger

There has been some little intelli-
gent effort in the direction OF spring
cleanup of the town; but not enough

never in doubt. Yorkville High has a
good baseball record so far this year.
having won two games, tied one and
lost one. The high school boys are
just little disappointed because of
the poor attendance Of local people
upon their games at home, being Of
the opinion and rightly so, that the

much attention during the past sew
eral days, being undoubtedly one %oE

practically all of which are sold by
