It was re­ membered that at a picnic held there twelve years ago a bootlegger hnd hidden his stores under this log. Evidently these few bottles had dropped out of sight and had ever since remained there. The farmer who discovered them divided their contents with some of his friends and it is said that the beverage had developed quite a kick during the twelve years it had remained there waiting to be discovered.

Mrs. Postmaster Veatch has de­ cided that the republicans are likely to be unable to decide which one of them is best fitted to fill the post­ office job, so she has decided to be at least a dark horse candidate. While she was appointed to the position because of the fact that she was a democrat, she sees no reason why politics should at this time have anything to do with the selection. Mrs. Veatch has filled the posi tion with considerable ability and has many friends who hope to see her retain the position. The position is under civil service to the extent that candidates must pass an examination. The congress­ man selects from tho three having the highest grades.
