It is a wonder the way things are run nowadays "that companys are not held responsible for these contracts that are signed by their agents. How many see the work done? For our part there are others besides the officers that have families. What about this, Mr. Bader and the taxpayers all over the country? These people may continue to “examine” bridges all over this oounty and elsewhere, and they won’t find one that is up to the contract in all points as it sh Mid be. When we pay so* 1 anything we like to get all that belongs to Us.

ily at Tefft. He returned to his work Monday. Mrs. F. W. Fisher made a business trip Tuesday to Mt. Ayr, to have some dental work done, returning Wednesday. John T.

Clark of north of Wheatfleld, who has -been quite sick with lung fever, is better at this writing and soon will be able to be out again. Oh, yes, Wheatfleld is a dry town but on last Saturday one could see men trying to walk on both sidewalks -and the middle of the street at the same time. Morris McCollough and wife drifted in from the far north a few days ago, and as soon as the Kankakee gets within its banks they will try and trap a carp or run down a dog fish. , It is reported that a certain man will sue Dr. Solt of San Pierre and other parties to dissolve a combination in restraint of trade. They are keeping some of the customers confined to their hous4s longer than necessary, thus injuring his trade.

Mrs. H. received a number of useful presents and is enjoying good health, doing all of her own housework, and in the amount of work and manner of doing it discounts a great many younger persons. May she be permitted to celebrate with her children many more birthday anniversaries, is the wish of her friends. Perhaps the ed’tor can tell why The emocrat arrives for distribution at Wheatfleld in regular days and the subscribers who receive their mail at Tefft and on rural route out of Tefft, have been disappointed in not receiving Wednesday’s paper until Thursday or Friday and the Saturday’s paper the following Monday. Our postmaster, rural carrier and the editor have received blessings without number the past two weeks, and

those interested would like to know where the fault lies. [Our packages for all the above points leave Rensselaer on the 6:02 p. m., trains Tuesday and Friday evenings* and should reach their destination the following morning in time to go out on the ruraLroutes. Editor.]
