fish that weighed 25 pounds. It is

sociate editor, V. E. Silver, local edi

Times in its salutatory announces that
the chief object of its existence is to
give employment to printers. Tramp

all head toward Brookfield. We don't
like to discourage the new venture, but
we confidently predict its failure, for
if there is anything that Brookfield

The Huntsville Citizen says: Friday
morning last, the second day of the
Huntsville fair. City Marshal Gilchrist
of Salisbury arrived in the city to show
a fine horse at the fair. Reaching
here he drove to the public well north
of the court-house to water his horse.
In some way the animal became
frightened and darting out of the reach
of Mr. Gilchrist, proceeded to run
with the buggy at a breakneck speed.
The animal passed along the hitch
racks on the west side of the court
house yard and ran into a spring
wagon, considerably damaging it, then
tearing up a cart owned by P. L.
Vasse. Next the infuriated animal
made a short tern east and ran the
buggy against Dick Duvall's little
stand, this resulting in no damage to
the building, but wrecked two wheels
of the buggy. The animal was then
stopped. Three vehicles were thus
more or less torn up in less time than
it takes to tell it.
