Monday iuirning. OetoU'rO, 1911.
She has U'fii a Hufferer from
cardiac trouble nntl dropsy for
some months, and the end was
not uiicxiKft.nl. She was the
widuw 'f William M. Brown, a
veteran or the Mexican War.

Harry l'aul. aged 11. and U
Uoy lloman. aged 12. Uth of
the Mt. Scott district, were
brought to Ilillsltoro the last of
the week, charged with enter
ing the house of Frank West,
Sherwood, and stealing a pair of
No. 7 MhooH arid Home cm I riiliri.u
and forcing their way, also, into
the store, at Mulloy. They took
Home crackers and edibles from
the Htore, and a few little trin
kets, amounting to the value of
uhout 1. The lads were taken
before Judge Stevenson, who
permitted them to go after a 8t
vere lecture and reprimand.
One of the Iniy's father was pre
sent and Btated that he would
endeavor to nee that the lads
hereafter walked the straight
and narrow pathway.
Clerk J. W. Bailey thinks the
farmers have a trood ioke on th
auto jKHiple. The new law says
that an auto driver can not pass
any team at a Hpeed to exceed
eight miles an hour. If the
farmer is not heavily loaded, and
has a team trood for anything.
he can Hpeed up eiirht miles an
hour without crowding much.
All he needs is a decent Dobbin
and a nwedometer. and he can
give the auto owners and drivers
the laugh, and without over
working his team.
The (Ironer & Rowell Co. have
a large stock of drain tile, from
It to 11 inch; also building blocks
and" brick. It will pay you to
place your orders with us, as
we burn our tile to a Itetter color
than our comM'titors, as our
wood only conts us a trille. We
also have a good Htock of rough
ami dressed lumber, which we
invite the public to inspect, be
fore purchasing elsewhere, uur

to his lands, but owing to the
fact that there was no way to
get the creek cleaned out below
him. his work was not entirely
effectual. It developed in the
discussion of the case before the
court, that the county court has
authority to extend the boundar
ies of anv DroDosed drainage dis
trict Mow would seem to be
the time for the county court to
make a master stroke for the de
velopment of the county, by es
tablishing a large drainage dis
trict clear to the river. This
would result in untold benefits to
property owners, and drain the
county roads as well. By the
