Wax Harmful Advice

harm and no good unsolicited. I
nish to stat.- nvii"
When c. tarted
ni Fat nu ille it was and is today
incensua of opinion that what
the town needed most was somethln
to increase the pay-roll, and acting
on this conviction they decided up?
on the creamery. The creamery
h.i-i 1.n in operation the best part
of a year and it does appear to nu
to be a suicidal policy to antago
iiiz? it. and that by one who not ev?
en intimated that he ia in any way
interested except to give advice
which must prove detrimental to
the creamery's interest, and there?
by the whole community.

Caught tlie Possum.
Mr and Mrs I) T. Flam had been
annoyed hy oft repeated invasion of
their hen house, and on Wednesday

form of a big, fat possum. Mrs.
Flam Insists that Farmville should1
no longer boast of being a city
since the grinning smooth-tailed an?
imal deserts his country
to dwell within our gates.,
Since death follows the invasion,1
however, they will be slow to repeat
their visits. And yet no grass Is
