We might apologize for the appear
ance of this edition of The Wheatfield,
but we have done the best we could
and have printed all the live local news
we could find. If those who complain
would help us by telling of local hap
penings that come to their notice we
could get out a much more interesting
paper. When one person has to be
reporter, editor and devil, at the same
time they are very apt to miss some
of the society events.
Form a basket; balance all!
Whirl yer gals to where yo' found 'em
Promenade around the hall!

Promenade like skerry cattle
Balance all an' swing yer sweets!
Shake yer spurs, make 'em rattle!
Keno! Promenade to seats.

1J TIME OF PEACE
In the first months of the Russo-Jap-an
war we had a striking example of
the necessity for preparation and the
early advantage of those who, so to
speak, "have shingled thier roofs in
dry weather." The virtue of prepara
tion has made history and given to us
our greatest men. The individual as
well as the nation should be prepared
for any emergency . Are you pre
pared to successfully combat the first
cold you take? . A cold can be cured
much more quickly when treated as
soon as It has been contracted and be
fore It has become settled In the sys
tern. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
Is famous for Its cures of colds and It
should be kept at hand ready for In
stant use. For sale by W. P. McMil
lan's drug store.
The Wheatfield prints the news.
Read The Wheatfield and be happy.
