They are dirty, putrid and unhealthy to the last degree. The story is told of a man in this city who recently had a lnxuriant growth of whiskers shaved from his face. While passing along the street he casually caught a glimpse of himself in a mirror.

The physican in attendance has dressed the injury skillfully. Time alone can tell whether the scars will be a disfigurement. A special car passed through our city this morning which exemplilied the rapid adyancement in invention, liy ingenious machinery a blot of white wash was dropped over every inch of track, not in perfect level with the es tablished grade. The section men are thus aided materially in keeping the track in proper turn. The persons who find shelter at the county farm, if able bodied, must hereafter expect to work.

The vegetation would be given a new stimulus, and incidentally the woods would be full of mushrooms. Last Saturday evening a runaway took place in west Flymouth.

Mrs. Elmer Glass and her sister-in-law, Miss Glass, were in the rig. The former was thrown from the buggy and 6truck the ground with considerable force. Miss Glass remained in the buggy until the horse was stopped. Luckily neither were seriously injured.
