Three of our business men tried to have some fun with a woodchuck last Monday. They went for the animal which was under a small lumber pile. They took the lumber away and when they nearly got to the woodchuck --which they expected to be one -- they found it different as very soon a dose of perfume came to the woodchuck hunters and they found that it was a skunk.The hunters dropped everything and ran as fast as they could except the one who finished the skunk which was great fun.

TOWN OF HOW Last week our quiet little burg received a shock. One might have thought to see the little bunches of people that were gathered here and there engaged in close conversation that there might have been an earthquake or another national disaster, but upon inquiry it turned out that a poor fellow's household belongings, even to bedding and provisions had been seized and held to pay a small debt, and the poor family left without even a blanket to cover them until a kind friend came to their assistance.
