A. Williamson had the misfortune to lose - a valuable mare Monday. Mr. \\ illiamson had only just enough horses to do his farm work and the loss of this one will be keenly felt. John. Molitor was taken quite suddenly sick Monday night at the home of his sister near Francesville. About a year ago he had an operation performed for appendicitis and it was feared for a while that he might have to submit to another operation. The Monon railroad section hands have all gone on a strike for higher wages, demanding $1.75 per day. The McCoysburg section force laid down the shovel and the hoe Wednesday morning. Only a short time ago the Southern roads raised the wages of their employes 3714cper day, without their asking. From the latest examination of the fruit trees, it is found about one out of every hundred cherry blossoms will develop a cherry, and apples in less proportion, only where some trees were shielded from the cold. It is thought that blackberries were not far enough along to be damaged much. Strawberries will likely be a fair crop if no other complications set in. Quite a few pupils have been disappointed this year at not receiving a diploma af|er having read the required reading circle books the past four years. Some that had their cards signed four times had them sent in, but only received word that the state had stopped issuing diplomas of this kind. This was rather disappointing aqd seems rather unfair to the pupils. However it may not be of any great importance.

James N. Tyler is the first rural route patron to erect his mail box according to the latest instructions from tho postmaster general. He used an iron band bracket to extend the box from the post which makes a very neat and durable construction, and for the convenience of the carrier, it cannot be excelled. However, a wooden arm will suffice if built right and will last a number of years if painted. For the nominal sum of 15 or. 20 cents you can erect your box to be a credit to the mail service and much to the convenience of the carriers. Now don’t be the last one to get yours-re-built. - • Chamberlain’s Stomach and Liver Tablets will clear the sour stomach, sweeten the breath and create a healthy appetite. t They promote the flow or gastric juice, thereby inducing good digestion.
