We notice that J whenever the whistle begins to sound the tire alarm, the shooting p of pistols and guns begins, in every <> part of the town.

Dots From Flzic. Our littl town is moving to the front and considerable trading goes on there. A railroad depot does a great deal towards building up a place. The weather is undecided; first, we think beautiful spring is here by the violets, buttercups, jonquils, peach and p.-a blossoms, then, as we gather around the. open lireplace, in the evenings, to read our magazines and the "town" paper and to enjoy the genial heat suffused through the room by the big logs as they crackle and blaze, we feel sure then that winter is with us yet. However, the little chickens are crying in the yard, the cabbage plants are growing, the peas will soon he in bloom and the radishes are up good. We know spring is here.
