SLIGHTLY WONO IN FIUQRINQ. Lady Garnett, Stauton Spencer s running mare, won the race at Rensselaer Wednesday, taking in the purse of sioo. Quincy Hughes was rider.—Wolcott Enterprise. All of which sounds very nice but is slightly inaccurate, O. K. Ritchey’s running mare “Smirk,” won the race, which was for a quarter mile dash, and won out by several lengths. It was Mr. Ritchey who pocketed the bunddred, Bro. Walker. RUMMAQE SALE. The ladies of the M. E.

A large crowd will be present and we want everyone to have a good time. A. E. Rowland, Teacher. DON’T SWELL UP.

An exchange takes as its text, “Don't Swell Up.” If you have a good job, don’t get swelled on yourself; there are hundreds that can take your place and you can be fired in a secoud, while it may take you years to climb to your present position. Don’t swell up on account of your old family, if you trace your family back far enough you may find that you are related to a horse thief or a man who died of strangulation, or that some of the nobility of whom you may boast kiuship may be in the penitentiary if living today. If your business is good, don’t get your nose up in the air and look down on your neighbor. Intemperate habits or lack of judgment can put you in the hands of the sheriff and even ‘'bust” you in a year, and if they can’t the trusts can. If you have a good position in society, don’t be to proud to speak to the people who don’t happen to move in your little sphere. Remember the first break you make out you go, and you will be talked about just the same as any oue else, or people may already be talking about, you. If you are j “popular” study well what makes you so. It is probably one of the three things above, and if so it may soon take wings REMAINS OF A MASTODON UNEARTHED IN PULASKI. If you should happen to be out takinga stroll some dark night and should meet a playful looking four-footed beast about fifteen feet high, with a couple of tusks about six feet long and with other pugnacious appendages in proportion, would you run? Or climb a tree? But there are no such animals around here this week; only the bones of one. Out on the big E. P. Thompson farm in Rich Grove the other some ditchers came upon the bones of a pre-historic monster, and a part of one shoulder blade was brought to town. It is now in the window of the Conn undertaking rooms. This piece, which is fairly well preserved, appears to be the heavy part of the shoulder blade that forms a joint with other parts of the skeleton, and seems to be about onethird of the entire bone as originally worn by His Big Nobs. The piece, viewing it from the flat side, is now about the size of one page of this paper. Other bones were dug np at the same time, but they crumbled as soon as taken out. There were pieces of ribs three feet long, part of a task, and so on. The bones were located near the bottom of the muok and on top of the sand strata.
