Mr. H. P. Reed has bought and snipped from this place in the last two weeks six thousand bushels of oats. That doesn't look much like there was nothing to sell.

They protest against th-3 reduction of State printers fees that would render it impossible for him to pay the present scale of wages. Farth er that the proposed reduction of rates to be paid for legal advertising in ne wspapers is unjust and unremunera-tive. Creamery Report.

The directos of the Haven Creamery at their regular monthly meeting held Feb. 10th 1891, approved of the action of the Treasurer in keeping its funds in the Citizens Bank of Haven, as they considered it perfectly safe. The report of the secretary for the moftth of January, showed, that the milk supply had decreased to only 3300 Its per day, from which 151 lbs butter per day was made. Net gain for the month of January $95 95. In view ot the fact that the Cieam- ery would soon be compelled to put in a new boiler, the subject was discusser! ana the secretary ordered to correspond with different firms and ascer tain the cost of putting in one.

In considering the amount of funds on hand the board deemed it best to strike a dividend of ten per cent on the money invested payable to the stockholders on demand. S. S. East, Sec'y. St.

Valentine's Day. Next Saturday, Feb. 14th, will be Valentine's day and no doubt many will receive some comic or rediculous presentations. This custom was cele-biated in England, Scotland and in different parts of the continent, but particularly in some portions of France by a very peculiar and amusing cus tom. "On the eve of St.

alentine a number of young folk maids and backelors would assemble together and inscribe upon little billets the names of an equal number ot maids and bachelors of their acquaintances, throw the whoe into a receptacle of some sort, and then draw them by lottery. Care, of course, bjing taken that each should draw one of the opposite sex. The person thus drawn became one's Valentine. The connection of the custom with St. Vale-tine is purely accidental in the legions of the different saints of that name recorded in the Acta Sanctorum.

No trace of the practice peculiar to 14th, of Feb. is found." UNACQUAINTED WITH THE GEOGRAPHY OP THE COTTWTRY, WILL OBTAIW MUCH VALUABLE INFORMATION FROM-A STUDY OF THIS MAP OF No. N.rth St. vmmum 21 Hutchinson, Kas. IS WORKING THE NEW ARiSTOTYPE PROCESS, Something Entirely New.
