Would'nt it be a good idea for those people who have good farms in Mar
shall county to hold on to them in preference to trading them for the broad acres in North or South Dakota ? Why 1 like the Bissell plows: Beoause they sell; because they stay sold; because they work; because they keep working. 2tw. Frank Suit city editor of the Kven inj? News has been suffering intense pain for the past four days. It is only a carbuncle on hiß neck but he says that he has an elephant on his hands.

"1 will give ten dollars "said a man in Justice Reeve's court today "for a recipe that will keep a woman from talking when ehe has nothing to say." As a rule the average woman never speaks unless she says something, and it is more than likely t'iat the reward will go begging, If, after all, there should be no war the people of Frankfort who went so wild the other night, tivi thousand of them marching to martial music around the public square and singing a provisional muster, might feel that they had been a bit ahead of themselves. Violent excitement is not really necessary just yet, besides being hard on the feelings. Deputy Sheriff Bonduraut left this morning for .leflersonville having in custody William Haines, who was con
vict( d in the Marshall county court on the charge of larceny, and given an intetmidiate sentence of from one to three years in the penitentiary.
