The society was called to order promptly at 7 P.M. by President Jones.

He came out looking as if he was much out of humor, but then It might only have been his way of expressing his good humor.

A Hood was on last week and many of the streams in this sec tion were higher than ever known.

Say, ople, tlo we not need something in the transportation line to take us to market? Hearing of good con ditions without being able to lay hold of them ourselves would only make ns most aiiserable.
