Fellow scribes say they had a good time, and next year we should all take part and make it still more interesting. We should all meet each other at the fair this year and have a good time. I think that next year it would be no more than right for our corresponding club to join in make the dinner at the club's expense Mr. McCain has given us our dinner for two years, and we should recipro cate and make the third. The JOURNAJ has been given up to be the best coun ty paper published, and we scribes should stay with it and make it still more interesting each year. Although
I failed to attend the last reunion, for which I am sorry, yet I will do as much for the paper as ever and trust all other scribes will do the same.

For the benefit Jof those concerned we give notice that our reported ghost story has become very monotonous, especially to those living in that vicinity. Crowds of sports of both sexes from neighboring towns come out there with beer, and come for no good purpose. They open fences and gates and leave them open and let the farmers' stock chickens and fruit are
go,astray, and going where the woodbine twineth. time you are in the city. The story was started by such parties for no other purpose than the above, and if this nuisance is not discontinued soon, it will not have a very pleasant ending.
