Quite a laughable incident occurred at the postoffice a few days ago. It seems that a cigarette smoker had just left, when a lady entered and smelling the fumes of the cigarette, said to Postmaster Riemenschneider: "What is it I smell?" The gentlemanly postmaster, in his quiet manner, answered: "Dead letters."

The seniors are putting forth every effort in their power to make their entertainment on the evening of Feb. 14 a success.

If you should chance to be out driving and hear a strange noise behind you, do not get frightened. You will and that it is W. R. Lehman out exercising his new pacer, and the noise just comes from the horse when he breathes.
