Our business houses on April the 1st began
their annual 6 o'clock closing. Of course
these houses are not hermetically realtd at
that hour against emergencies, nor demands
of lesser magnitude. Customers bad better
not risk an opening when it can be avoided,
as the merchants and clerks may not be
found when needed.
The school children got more (leasure out
of April the 1st than any one else around
here. They followed the old time custom of
barrlngand nailing out tbe teachers. Ibet-e
last no doubt enjoyed tbe frollo too. It is
reasonable to suppose that they were "delighted".

Several days ago some boys were at work
near Rocky River and report seeing a negro
wading down tbe stream; they could get
nothing out of him excepting that he would
get out below here, whether an April fool or a
reality the public has not determined. He
may have been a criminal trying to keep
from being tracked by hounds.
Vegetation Is rapidly springing forth and
without a check nature will soon put on her
green summer garb.
About ten days without rain has started
