Drane’s from town, the horse they
wore driving, became frightened
and ran away. The young ladies
jumped out. Miss Minnie Drane
fell unhurt, but Miss Lula Rentz,
falling against a Hump, was seri
ously injured. Her many friends
will be glad to know that she up
and in her usual health.
The most welcome and entertain

Below' wo present a tablo, show
ing what small economy is neces

year, in the common items men
tioned. Wo are ottering tho Au
ers at the low price of $1,50 per
annum.
3 eggs a week at 16c per doz. $1,95
1 quart Wheat a week at 90c.

quart of Corn per week at
00c per bush 1,01
2 quarts Potatoes a week at
