Lincoln County Leader. iTrora the above it will appear that Benton county is not alone in ier struggle with "bad road" prob lems. : T. H. Garrett, of Pierre, South Dakota, telegraphed J. M. Cam eron, of this city, a few days ago to stcure him a good dwelling! house capacious enough to accomodate two families for a month or two, so that they may have ti.ne to look about a little befoie purchasing farms.

Polk County Observer. Mr. S. B. Bane states that the cause of the slight hitch in the ne gotiations for the sale of his 235 v acre farm west of town to S. L. Kline was occasioned by a clause in . his contract with the real estate firm of Robinson fe Peterson, which gave him a choice in the matter of price and caused him to raise his figure to $50 per acre. The clause read that the place should be sold for "$10,000 or any other price owner agrees to accept." Rev. A. . C. Bane, of San Francisco, Calif., a hrnthpr nf t.hn hovf had a half in terest in the place and S. B. Bane : was his authorized agent in the ; matter of 9ale. Mr. Bane will eon- ,Z . ia i-h vooi.a nn farm Via VifLS old until September 1st, when he may go to California to spend the winter.

A few days before Easter a good lady of this city told her husband to secure, about six doz en eggs for Easter. This he did. The next day he passed along the street and noticed a lot of fresh eggs on displays before a grocery store, forgetting the fact that he had already purchased a sufficient number of eegs for Easter, he ordered six dozen sent home.

His father was down town and he found some butter without a flaw and ordered a couple of pounds on the spot While both father and son were down town, a party peddling butter arrived at their home, and,, as it was the pure ar ticle, the good wife and mother thought it would be wise for her to purchase, so she look four pounds.
