-Mud ! mud! mud 1" This is the cry heard on ail sides. The warm weather, and late rains have unlocked the fozen ground and permitted the bot torn to fall out, us it were, and the country is suffering from a real mud blockade. The merchants have plenty of; leisure time to "clean decks,' ' sweep down the year's accumulation of cobwebs and curse the m ud. Tho farmers who are so unfortunate as to live along the line of mud roads show symptoms of the turnpike fever, as they always do when the mud be
comes -'bub deep" and it is impde1
sible to get to town with even aa
empty wagon. From now on until
the m ud dries up the build ing of
; turnpikes will be freely discussed,
and every person will seem kindly

to 8eeuring better roads. Jnst as

One night last week, while his family
were at church, an artery was opened and if he had not sought immediate assistance at his son's house, in the neighborhood, he may have bled to death. A Drummer's Close Shave. A drummer arrived here one day this week who had quite a lively experience while at Gosporfc. In that village there is a very estimable young lady who is supporting her aged parents by carrying on the barber business. Drummers, 3011 know are vtry smart fellows, always full of fun and in for anything that is new and-novel. This one heard of the lady barber and concluded to give her a call. Drummers also general ly consider themselves pretty good on the 'mash," and this one was no sooner seated in the eh iir, and duly
lathered, before he began "getting in his work." The lady proved to be
not so talkative as the knights of tho
razor of the male persuasion, but she
answered all interrogatories pleasantyy and went ahead with the scraping
process in a business-like manner.
Finally, the man of cheek reached
out a hand and attempted to place it on the lady's bosom. Tho ladv
sprang aside, and with bated breath and fire in her C3'e, held the razor aloft in a threatening attitude, demanding an apology. The drummer could read in her eye that this was no joke, anil that a prompt apology was better than a lacerated windpipe. The lady's anger was appeased .sufficient for her to complete her work,
but the drummer was on a bed of live coals until the job was done, for ftai the razor might slip. It was a close shave for him, but he had no bu siness to insult her, and thus razor lie. It was a shear accident that he got but of the scrape as well as he did, and at one time he thought that he must surely dye. He ' certainly came' wi thin S!itti pf having his whizzin'
