DUNNVILLE. SQUIBS.

. No squibs last week, for the reason that it was all we could do to keep our heads above high water mark. John Dunn has commenced to paint the town red. T. M. Jones has been on the sick list for ar out a week, but is now convalescent. P. E. Davis, we understand, intends running a wagon for the Hebron creamery. If the people of this district must b represented by a Republican, for God’s sake give us some one whose ambition soars beyond a load of baled hay! Our merchants still glare at each other, from across the street, with blood in their eyes. There are a few people in and about Dunnville who are forever cursing the place and the couidrv around it. To such we say—Go west, and grow up with the country. We can spare you. Many farmers will be obliged to re-plant their corn on account of the late heavy rains. P. Behtes, from Chicago, has moved one-half mile north of this place. Our citizens were favored, last Saturday, in front of S. J. Bentley’s store, with quite a lengthy debate. Subject : “Ash hopper philosophy.” Our new neighbor was almost overcome by the shoulder-hitting argument that he was obliged to digest last Saturday. Two of Rensselaer’s best citizens were in Kankakee last week looking up and surveying a ditch. The young people here are anxiously awaiting the completion of the black-smith’s new residence, which signifies a “hop.” John Graves, from DeMotte, has moved into the house lately occupied by A. Way.
