Look Out, You'll Get Worked. A uumber of our exchanges aro

js? sending out the following warning. Keep your eye peeled or you may get a benefit. It is: a man calls upon you witli an J^?i§)ffer to sell ou a slock of writing a a

his face thftt you may not hear remain(,et'

of bls

story as he is

-operating a new graft which has

ffound many a victim. The game is Efto call at the house and offer twentvss'five envelopes and sheets of paper for sale. This is done ostensibly to advertise the goods, for if the customers use the paper once, they will always use it. etc. To advert, tise the goods the swindler Bars there is a prize in each one of the large envelopes which contains the smaller articles. As proof of the statement he opens one of the packages and from the large envelopes he takes out a crisp new $10 bill.

Placing the bill back into the envelope, he asks $5 for the package and generally gets it. He instructs the purchaser not to open the package until the following daj', but curiouslty generally causes it to be opened •\vithout delay. Then the fraud is discovered for there is nothing but paper in the package."

The Donation Rejected. The (Jid Fiddler's Contest held at Hillsboro last Saturday evening, ac cording to a special to the ludiana polis News, has caused quite astir of indignation among the church people of Hillsboro. In some manner the management of the contest felt under obligations t.o the churches of the town and decided a certain per cent he proceeds should he given -be Sunday schools, and in accord with this-understanding the amount due etch S. S, was carried around to the schools on Sunday morning but the Sunday schools had their minds made up that no such donation went with them and it was flatly refused and was not accepted. The reason seems to be in the fact that prizes were given fyS different forms of dancing—such as jigfe, clogs, etc. Some^ feeling exists as the result of th* whole busibut it-j* »lr."gether pr that our old friend Vinegar'^will pour the 'oil ot peace" in the las-

ceraled feelings of the Uillsboroites, and nothing serious will result.^®*

A Pleasant Occasion.

Thursday was the 75th birthday of Thomas Anderson, father of George Anderson, and the family to commemorate the event met at the old gentleman's home, and one of those real old fashioned family reunions and rejoicings was the result. While the women folks were preparing the splendid dinner to be enjoyed by all, the men were out raising the timbers tor a small barn for father Anderson. The day was a glad and happy one for all and was most fittingly finished when a group of four generations of the Anderson family, from father, sons, grandsons and great-grandsons, was made by a photographer. It was a most happy occasion and en joyed by none more than by Grandpa Anderson, fr'.Wl

It was his opinion that by some repairing the lower rooms can be made fit for use the remainder of the term while some other place must be sought for the inhabitants of the other rooms which course is being acted upon. The house has been built only six years and should have stood for many mora had it been wisely constructed, but alas, the monument which Trustee Giascock boasted of erecting to himself must be torn down and a new one reared in its
