House has been the place where the
voters of West Wlnslow township cast
their ballots, but the county commis
sioners will now have to get a new place,
as there Is not room at the hotel to
hold elections, as the Baker system

Billy Goat.

nice turn-out for a small boy, a Billy
Goat, set of leather harness and a cart.
Mr. Darrah's little boy drove the rig to
Brookvllle in three hours a few days
ago. The gentloman wants to sell Billy
because he is not content to graze on
the green but wants to fool along the
railroad track and feast on ballast,
spikes, tios, &o. The owner would not
object to that way of living, but the
goat has become so impolite that it is
hardly willing to show respect for the
iron horse by stopping off the track to
let It pass by and Mr. Darrah is afraid
there will be trouble some day botwoen
an engine and the goat.

Wlloy; Bull & Lewis Co., Jos. Aber
nathy, John Ewlng and Albert Wad
ding; West Reynoldsvllle Co., S. E.
Brewer, Henry Herpol and Frank
Shanor. E. C. Burns will make a good
chief, and If the fire lads are not ready
when Ed. is he can take the hose cart
of any one of the companies with him
without much trouble, he is such a
powerful man.
Three Mice.
David Reynolds, who has lived In this
town from the days when the very few
Inhabitants could step out of their back
doors and look for deer, and the quiet
ness of the town was occasionally dis
turbed by a panther's cry or a
bear's growl, when the scent was
yet fresh on the red man's track
and the whole town was one vast wil
derness, In the days when the whoa! of
the stage coach driver, as he pulled up
at the little Inn with his "four in hand,"
was of as much interest to the few boys
of town as the lightning express with
its palace and pullman cars is to the
country lads to-day, even in those days
with all their wildness, David was never
more frightened than he was one morn
ing last week in his fine house on
Mabel street. Mr. Reynolds got out of
bed and began dressing. He pulled on
one sock and just about the time his big
toe reached the stopping place In the
sock something began scratching
around lively on the bottom of David's
foot. "Whew!" "Great guns!" "A
rattle snako, as sure as I am born!" A
few such remarks were escaping from
David while the foot was backing out
of the sock. When the foot came out
three little mice, that had been dis
turbed from a quiet snooze, ran out and
disappeared in a hole at one corner of
the room and the owner of the stipxtsed
snako-bltten font looked on in astonish
ment. While Mr. R. slumbered the
mice had moved into new quarters to
be so rudely ousted out. Mr. Reynolds
says he had read so many articles about
snakes crawling into houses that he
could think of nothing else but a snake
when his foot got into the sock.
Town Council.
The regular monthly meeting of the
town council was held on Monday even
ing and there were so many bills pre
sented for payment that the "Dads" did
not get home until after the mld-nlght
hour. Ordors were granted to the
amount of $4,9114.19 as follows: A.
O'Donnell for lumber delivered on the

from Main street to rooms of Hose Co.
No. 1. The secretary was instructed to
get prices on gum coats, boots, &o for
fire departments, and a committee was
appointed to see about towers for the
Hose companies. It looks very much
now as If the town eounoll were going
to take some interest In the fire compa
nies at this place, which is a good step
in the right direction.
Failed to Materialize.
J. Prescott Eldrldge, who was booked
to give an entertainment in Reynolds
opera house last Friday evening, devot
ed to the mysteries of hypnotism, or
somnambulism, and mesmerism and the
Momusontan melange, also to consist of
morsels of mirth, siloes of humor and
draughts of merriment, did not give the
"carnival of the passions" because the
opera house was crowded with empty
seats and mesmerism subjects, with the
all Important one-quarteth of a hundred
oonts at the door failed to materialize.
The "cagllostro" was a trifle disgusted
with Reynoldsvllle people. The black
haired gentloman, whon Interviewed
after the lights were put out at tho
opera house and the duBt on the soats
remained undisturbed said that he had
issued twenty-six passes and even the
holders of these did not attend. The
experience of trying to got a crowd here
"puzzled the wits" of Eldrldge and
"baffled the wisdom" of Albert Reyn
olds, who gave the house on a percent
age of door receipts.
A Runaway.
Harry O'Bryan, bartender at the
Commercial Hotel, was hauling coal
last Friday and Matson's spirited grey
nag ranaway from hlra. Harry was
loading his wagon with coal at Company
store when the train passed by and
frightened the fiery steed. Harry can
hold any person down whon It comes to
telling big yarns but he did not have
grip enough to hold the. grey from
running off. About the first act was
to upset the box, whloh was filled with
ooal, off the wagon and then the horse
jerked the wagon down Jackson street
at a break-neck speed. When the horse
readied the Methodist church It was so
tangled in tho wagon and lines that It
stopped. The only damage done was
one wheel knocked out of gear. O'Bry
an hod a narrow escape from serious
Injury In attempting to stop the horse
when it bad doolded to go. It may be
possible that the nag would have suo
oeeded in dropping several wooden
awnings had It not been for the upset in
front of the M. E. church.

The Town Cow.
The ubiquitous town cow that loveth
to revel in a well filled garden at this
season of the year, is now threatened in
the strongest language known to profane
history. The "cow pond" Is strongly
agitated by a fuV men of town who
have fought bugs, pulled weeds,
scratched with a hoe, watered plants,
in tact almost broke their backs to have
a good garden, and then have a four
leggod, two-horned, pesky, contemptible,
fiendish, mllk-givlng bovine meander
that way and "yank-off" the rope, wire
or anything else that may be used to
tie the gate and quietly enter in at the
mid-night hour and, with goullsh glee,
proceed to snatch cabbage stocks bald
headed, eat the sweet corn, and trample
down all the garden truck that is not
suitable for her cud, these men are on
the war path with blood In their eyes.
Just why a man should get mad because
an innocent cow happened to break Into
his garden, is Incomprehensible to the
man whose cow has done the damage,
but let some other man's cow feast on
his garden truck and his comprehend
slveness is wonderfully acute,
