One of the school boys who is a little slack in orthography, wrote this sentence: "Talk not of waisted affection, affection is never waisted." When the girls lauehed the school marm said "Anybody would know he was Green, he don't know anything about such things." We would like to know how ahe knows. - Enterprise. If a man dies, gets married or does some great thing in his or somebody else's imagination, it is expected that his local paper will give him a send-off, commensurate with the importance of the deed ; but if he gets drunk, commits an unprovoked assault, or is caught in some cowardly mean trick, he expects that the same paper will be as silent as the tomb. - Ex. A business man remarked yesterday, "I have taken considerable pains to investigate, and from what I have seen and heard, business will take a decided boom this spring. It is all nonsense people crying dull times. If they would all put their shoulders to the wheel, times would always be good and money would be plenty. What we need is untiring energy and push. - Adrián Times. The next meeting of the S. W. farmers' club will be at the residence of J. P. Lapham, Friday, April 3d.

English. - Manchester Enterprise. Always something new under the sun. This time it is nothing more nor less than a "louse trap." A. H. Howard has invented a cup attachment for perches in poultry houses, which he says will prevent poultry from being infested with lice, he having demonstrated the fact after a two years' trial in his poultry house. Such an appliance would be a boon to poultrymen and doubless meet with ready sale.- Saline Observer. Every grocerymen can appreciate the following from an exchange : Custom now demands a delivery wagon system to every grocer, and while it is convenient to the customer it is a great expense to the grocers. Often the system is abused. A lady carne leisurely in a store with a bottle, saying: "Have you any real fresh yeast? Alamma wants a penny's worth. Please put a new cork in the bottle and deliver it right away - and please charge it." Why is it that the rich man after he has amassed a certain sum always likes to pretend that he is so poor and is eternally harping about his poverty ? Approach him with any business proposition and, no matter how fayorably he may be impressed, he invariably has some fairy store to teil regarding his financial condition. "I like your scheme first rate," he may say. "Strikes me as being a good one, but I never was so hard up in my life as I am just now." - Manchester Enterprise. A black fox is seldom found in this latitude, but George Reinhart of Superior brought into our office what he claimed was the skin of that beast. It was difficult to teil whetherit was a veritable chap of that order, as the distinguishing features had been removed in skinning.
