They pile tiers of wood alongside of the plank road while loading wood ;when along comes a farmer with a load, who must turnout in the mud while he is entitled to the right of way, the plank being on the right hand side of the road. It is claimed that most of the haulers are not even taxpayers, but that makes no dif ference, they are allowed to travel on the same, but they should be stopped from obstructing the public road. We are informed that the supervisor gave notice to stop piling woid on the county road, but it seems force most be used, some saving, the sooner the better. Some farmers are beainnina to feel iueasy. They ar afraid fall sown erain well freeze out if this weather holds on much longer. I do not think there is anv danger yet. Max. Dec 14 Garfield. The weather in this section of the country has been very cold for more ilian a week, and a stiff east wind blow ing must of the time.

We have been listening for the merry peals of weddir g bells for a dav or two. but now learn that on account of the youth of the bride it was necessary to obtain the consent of the mother, which had not hten done, thus causing matters to be decayed. However, the parties should not be discouraged, but "try, try again." In case of success, we len der or sympathies to the fellow who will be left. hut. from his experience with the itentler sex, he ought not ex pect things to remain as tfvy were when he went away eight months ago. Tbixv. December 14th. Highland. Everything is quiet and calm and rather iiaimonious. Frank Reese had two barns and con tents, also binder, mower, rake, harness and other things, destroyed by fire dur ing the heavy east wind last Friday. He was burning some rubbixh around one of the barns, when the fire got beyond his control. -( On Christmas day, in the forenoon, an entertainment will be given in the Baptist church, to which all are cordial ly invited. The Highland peoole would rejoice to see that portion of the county road east of Thomas' store in Beaver Creek pre cinct put in a passable condition. The people freely volunteered t grade it upon the promise that the county court would plank it, hut probibly the court thinks that promises are easily broknii. We understand th t the court has taken steps recent'y to nave it planked after everything is mud beilv deep nd level ed and cut down.
