The popular grand opera "Martha" will be presented by Aborn Opera Co. at St. Patrick's hall Oct. 21. Joe Nix, who has had charge of the A&P store here since its location in this^city, has been transferred to Chicago. His place has been taken by Albert Barbian, who assumed charge of the place this Thursday morning. Hickory nuts are quite plentiful this year, according to farmers and those who enjoy the'sport of gathering them. The carpenter work on the new home now under construction for Albert Purvey on John street is progressing very satisfactorily and it begins to look as if the place should be ready for occupancy much sooner thah was anticipated. The stage of water in Fox river has been very low during the past week or more. This condition has been brought about because of the removal of the flash boards in the dam south of this city. The Woodard Pickle company received a total of 360 bushels of small and seventy-nine bushels of dill pickles at their pjflllt in this city during the season which has just closed. Mr. Woodard will try to interest more of our farmers in rtjjckle growing next spring.

Some little boys walking alorig Main street in the business district discovered a small snake crawling along the sidewalk. They realized it was not just the ordinary variety and called a police officer, who picked it up and took it to the local medical clinic.

When a reported case of swine illness is definitely diagnosed as hog cholera, livestock inspectors immediately start making the rounds of every farm within a threemile radius of the infected herd.
