STREET WORK BEGINS

Work was begun Thursday morn
ing for improving Main Street with a
curb to curb macadam road bed, with
bitumen binder.
The work is being done jointly by
the Town Council and the State High
way Commission, the town furnish
ing materials and part of the con-
structiye force and the State giving
use of machinery and force of men.
This forward movement, while COM
paratively costly for the initial work,
means much for Woodstock, for it is
along Main Street that thousands Of
tourists pass each year and their
opinions as to the towns progressive
ness and attractiveness will to large
extent be based on the impressions
made by Main Street.
The work contemplated and being
done will not only contribute to the
towns attractiveness but it will elimi-
nate the ponds which made portions
of the highway unnavigable after rains,
give better drainage and aid sanitation,
The Town Council is to be congratu-
lated for its progressiveness and its
efforts to make Woodstock a more at
tractiye town.

CIDER CAUSES CAPTURE.

There is a considerable difference
between the ages of Wesley Reynard
and Medgar Bowers but there is one
ness in taste when it comes to cider,
and there was no difference between
the bleakness of the cells to which
both were taken on Friday night be-
cause of their laundering after this oil
of hilarity.
Yves is getting along towards fifty
and Medgar is just past the voting age
and both live in Madison district. So
does R. j. Lantz, we'll known farmer.
On the Lantz farm there was limited
quantity of cider stored that it might
become vinegar, and in the minds of
Reynard and Bowers the thought was
stored that they might become drunk.
These circumstances combined con-
verted the pair into petty thieves and
probable house breakers, for on Friday
night it is charged they went to Lantz s
cidery unlocked the door, and went in
When they came out it is alleged they
were loaded with cider and also with
several sacks of feed.
Mr.. Lantz, who had anticipated the
raid, with Tom Meyer, was waiting in
the shadows and both were armed with
shot guns. They fired at the raiders
and affected their capture. Bowers
was bailed for a further hearing and
Reynard is in Jail.

Christian Crabill, son of John Crabill
the first owner of the Toms Brook

Washington's Army at Yorktown, after
the surrender of CORVALLIS, and i,
came to the present owner through
John, son of Christian, to Michael. son
of John and to E. B. son of Michael.
On the face the note reads:
"This note entities the Bearer t,
receive thirty Spanish milled dollars, o
the value thereof in gold or silver
according to resolution of Congress
passed at Philadelphia, November
1875"
On each end of the note is printe,
