Harsh, Jr., who has been attending the Newton Business College, has returned to his home at Lnyton, and is looking around for taking up some trade. The sapper and fair held at the Walpaek Centre church on the even ing of the 10th inst was well attend ed, the receipts amounting to over 30. High taxes of 19,60 por thousand is causing some hesitancy about any more good roads tnong those who warmly advocated them some time ago.

HOw to Prevent Croup It will be good news to mothers of small children to learn that oroup can be prevented. The flr6t sign of oroup is hoarseness.
