4 Fred Markin of Pleasant Ridge phs quite badly hurt last Friday by being dragged against a fence post or tree by his team of horses, which had become frightened and started to run just as he was driving in the gate at his home. He grabbed the team by the bits and was dragged quite a distance, finally freeing themselves from his grasp and running away and smashing up the wagon. He was unconscious for some time but is now improving.

Too much boiled chicken and noodles put the K. O. K. A. campers and their escorts out of business at the Tippecanoe river last Thursday night, and all returned home somewhat the worse for wear, including the ladies who went over Thursday with the chicken and other edibles.

U Now that the time of year haß atrlved for the rag weed to blos«on, people who have hay fever are hiking northward to escape that dread disease. Yesterday C. H. Mills, Bradley Ross, Ross Porter, James Brenner and Frank Hardman went up into the Eagle river region, in northern Wisconsin, to spend the next three or four weeks in the woods. They will live in a tent and will take nearly all of their grub from here. As the hunting season has not opened there and fishing is all they will have to depend on for eatables, it behooves them to look after that end of the business.

Press Roberts from Newton county was in town Monday, and seems to have turned his attention to potato raising. He has some potatoes that he says he will not sell until he gets SI.OO per bushel for them. Press should keep in mind the fact that these are prosperity times, minus the prosperity, and that SI.OO a bushel is purty blamed high for his or anybody else’s old potatoes. Raising the market price by schemes of this kind is a favorite one with republicans, but we didn’t think Press would resort to it to get SI.OO a bushel for his potatoes. We would be pleased to chronicle the fact that he has amended his resolution, and will turn some potatoes on the market at less than SI.OO a bushel.
