A win some postmistress found letters for all wLocame for them. Some of the young men spent a greater portion of the evening at the postofice receiving letters at a dime a letter.

"ILL" COUCH ra OURS r LUNO 33 bK A Correction. In last week's paper, in regard to the flour that is being sold through the Farmers Union Warehouse, it was stated that it was being sold from the irare house cheaper than in the lhoal market. Merchants of the town state that this is an error, that the same grade of flour can be sold by them at the same price. This correction is made because the statement of last week was printed with the understanding that the flour being handled through the warehouse was the same grade as that sold in the local market.
