SAXDYSTON IN (JEXEHAL Ilninesville had a series of pugi listic encounters last week and in one of them one party was slightly in jured. He at once swore out a war rant and his assailant was taken to Newton by" constable (iiinn, but luck ily was bailed out. The stealing of a set of harness from I'eter llrink caused that gentle man to get a search warrant. In company with constable (iunn they proceeded to the house of the sus pected party. During the contro versy Mr. liriuk was knocked down, but the harness was found and the puiioiner was committed to the care of Sherilf Amlrcss. Lester Sylcox and Krnest Hrown were digging potatoes on the Van Sickle farm one day last week and 1 presume they were rushing matters for when they came to measure up it was found that the former had 111 bushels and the latter 77. Pretty good work. Miss Susie Wilson, of llainesville, is again confined to her bed by ill ness. Sim had a severe attack of pneumonia last winter, and has nev er fully recovered from it. The meeting at I'entrcville on Sat urday afternoon to take into consider ation the building of a creamery was not largely attended, but enough far mers were out to show that they were in earnest about trying it. Commit mittees were appointed to find how many cows would be pledged, and re port at a meeting to be held one night tins week. 1 he prospects are promising, and I hope it w ill prove a success. The buckwheat crop is out of the wav. seeding is about done, and the farmer is busy getting out his corn The onlv hindrance to com husking is that the corn is not dry enough to crib. Husking is going on all the same. Doctors, like other folks, have their ills and Docter Hughes has had bis share for the past week; being con fined to his house. Dr. J. N. Miller is attending to his patients, but will not be nee led longer as Dr. H. is much better, Hainesville as usual made their social a success on Thursday night of last week. While the attendance was not large the shekels rolled in just the same. l(. were taken in. I regret to say that the condition of Mrs. Lucy Warner has not im proved and it is now only question of endurance as to how long she may last. I notice that H. L., of Montague, has been promoted from the 15. of K. toa position on the town committee. Uood boy, go a little higher and give your fellow scribes a chance to vote for you, and we will all do it sure. Politics Is beginning to attract at tention and people are discussing the opposing candidates for sheriff they are both good men, very little "mud" can be thrown by either par ty. One question is uppermost, and that Is, why was not Mr. Harris nominated for sheriff? Hut the bal lot box will settle that question. D. L. li. Smithunil wife, of Branch' villi, visited ut L. T. Mmiths at Lay ton on Sunday. Bert drives n nob lily rig end his horse takes no one's dust. Politics is coming to the front, and from now until the polls close isith parties will do their best to elect their candidates. Years ago voters thought they must stand by the party nomin ees whether lie was ull w ool and yard wsde or not. To-day many voters Irrespective of party are voting for the candidate best qualified for the office, und this vote is tho cause of much worry on the part of the cand idates, and it is one that both parties should heed by placing good men in nomination.
