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.
