Recollections of days that may be
gone forever were brought to mind
when a Lorane firmer, in clearing
some new land, turned over an old
log and found cached thereunder
several bottles of beer. 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
