The intense cold weather on Thanks
giving a I moat prevented the game Of
football coming off at Condon, but the
boy were all on baud and played any
way. A wa expected, the rossll team,
which wa in excellent practice, won
easily. Two Inning were played, the
Fossitites scoring one goal each inning,
making two goals to Condon's 0. It was
lively game and greatly enjoyed by the
large crowd of spectator.
Notwithstanding the fact that Thanks
giving wa one of the coldest day ever
experienced at Condon, a tremendous
crowd came out to attend the ball, for
which 08 number were (old. Had the
weather been a pleasant a it usually is
the latter part of November, there I no
doubt that at least 150 number would

Prof. Henry and 8. P. Shuttof Condon.

travel together unless the duck Is inside
the owl. The duck come down from
the north every winter, bnt the snowy
owl does not migrate unless the winter

Our city council ha very properly
concluded to assist our cornet band for
several month, to the amount of f 10 a
month, which will go towarda helping
to pay our instructor, Prof. Henry. The
member of the band have been mt to
great deal of expense, beside the time
devoted to practice, and it ia bnt right
that the town nssint them a little. .All
other town do the Mine and feel that it
ia money well spent, for all must admit
that a band is a great improvement and
benefit lo a place. Before the council
made this allowance, however, a peti
tion waa circulated and the name of the
taxpayer of the town secured with their
approval. , '

The weather ha moderated." again,
butalllast week wa the coldest ever
experienced in thi country during the
month of November, and about fta cold
a ever felt here at any other, season of
the year. Several morning the mer
cury wa forced down to 15 degree tie-
low xero, and aevernl of our people look
ed desperately at the spot where tiieir
woodpile ought to be. The cold snap
bas been general all over the country,
but no one predicts a very severe winter
from now on, except our friend Hick,
who believes the winter 'will tie a little
more severe than utual. We have not
heard of any dock or sheep suffering
during the cold snap, but it is safe to
conclude that those who have plenty of
bay are resting the easiest just now. .
The witnesses and juror who served
at the time the sheep trespasa case of H.
C. Strickland vs. Giede ft Homerfield
was heard in justice's court at Condon
a year ago will soon begin to think that
the case never will be disposed of, and
they cannot be blamed for wanting their
fee, which should have been paid when
the service was rendered. The sixty
day' time in which a bill of exceptions
should have been filed with a view to
Carrying the case to the date supreme
court bas expired, and it seem tons
that all that i left to do now is for Mr.
Strickland to proceed to collect the
amount of hi judgment and coat from
the defendant. The wilnetee and jur
or can rest assured that, although the
case appears to be everlasting, it will
come to an end toiue time and they w ill
get their fee.-
