I Many of the chickens belonging to the farmers throughout the county are dying and it is thought that the cause of this is the overfeed of corn. At no time are the fowls sick, but die during the night. Corn feed during an open winter will affect a chicken in this way and the owners will have to secure other feed for their fowls.

BY A WOMAN-HATER. No woman is as truthful as her mirror. Few women waste money—if they have not got it. The meddlesome third party causes many a divorce. It’s nothing to a man's credit if no one will trust him. , It’s a sign a girl likes to be kissed if she says she doesn’t. A woman never attempts to hide her jealousy under a bushel. Even a wise man can't tell wfien a woman's hat is on straight. When a girl yawns it’s up to’ the young man to get in the homestretch.

It’s easy to see the blessings of poverty through the eyes of a millionaire. If a girl is in kve with a young man she can’t see any one else in a crowd. Many a homely woman derives a lot of satisfaction from the belief that she is clever. A girl takes advantage of a golden opportunity when she bleaches her hair. At 16 a girl thinks about roses and poetry; at 36 her thoughts run to cabbage and money. — o—— ■ It is rumored that several citizens of this community were swindled in a western land deal recently.
