In all probability Johnsburg will see some interesting ball games this spring and summer for the boys love the .^nme. Farmers are jubilant since spring has commenced in earnest. This can be seen from the way they are at work in the fields, which art? now in excel­ lent condition for cultivation. Base ball enthusiasts are all aglow over the fine spring weather we are having and even the youngsters can now be sc«en on the vacant lots swing­ ing that trusty old war club--the bat. Saturday the election for a hew school director occurs and everyliody is anxious to see a good man elected to fill the one vacancy. Our . school is large and good directors can do the school heaps of good. Some of our laborers have again se­ cured employment at the Geo. J. Sa^.er place at Pistakee Bay.
