We all want one, as we are troubled very much with crows. —lts the same old etory Mud! Mud! Mud! If you are not a good swimmer stay out of South America. —Mr. Harve Jonas has been inquiring for some frog eggs, as he is afraid all other crops will be a failure. —The dance at Chriswells last Saturday night was a failure. The fiddler was there, but the crowd failed too appear. —Milroy is improving rapidly with its new church and we now hope the county won’t disappoint ns with a new bridge. —Mr. Frank Summers traded horses with Cell Marrow, and Frank thinks he got the best of it, and Cell is letting him think so. —South America had an increase Tuesday morning in its population. Mr. and Mrs. John Kaupke were the happy receivers of a young son. —The boys are getting their old cow bells and shot guns in readiness since the appearance of Ed. Hamilton in the vicinity of widow Summers farm. —Carter school closed for the season Tuesday. They spoke pieces and sang songs. There was a good attendance and everybody spent a pleasant afternoon. —Louis Beaver went to Wolcott last Saturday to have his picture taken. The other boys are mad they did not go before he did as they are sure he broke the machine.
