Little Annie Lucy, the tifteen
montlis-old baby girl of Mrs. Lucy
Adams, died yesterday afternoon, and
the remains will be interred in family
burial plot at Riverside cemetery this
afternoon. The little one had suffer¬
ed much, having been in ill health all
of its short days, and the assurance of
her blessed future and happy relief
from the ills of this life should in a
a great measure mitigate the sorrow
of the fond mother and other loved
ones who are so deeply grieved by her
death. The Sentinel, in common
with many friends, respectfully ten¬
ders its sincere condolence to the be¬
reaved ones.

and in two hours and seven minutes
on the return trip, or an average of a
little more than eight miles per hour.
The young men say they could have
made the trip in much less time by a
little exertion.

Our friends at Day’s Cross Roads
are besieged by frogs this year and
there is a general complaint of
production The din they create :it
certain hours of the day lias become
so annoviiig J ° that those who arc
polled to listen to it have been forced
to the desperation of expressing their
indignation in poetry, as witnesseth
the following:
I hear the frogs a hollering,
And it seems to me the sound
J/akcs ten thousand echoes
And is tearing up the ground.
I know the ponds are fuil of frogs,
For how could just a few
Make such a terri ble racket
Down m the waters blue?
I hear them in the day time
I hekr them in the night,
Arid if there were between times,
They’d yell with all their might.
I wish I had them every one
Here in a great big sack,
I’d make them wish c or water
Before I’d put them back.
When the sun shines in his glory
Or the moonbeams cross the lea,
The wide-mouthed frogs are hollering
And aggravating me.

We en joyed seeing a nice rain fall
last Monday. It was very inueli
ed in this section.
As Squire ()— may not come out
with Dayville Dots this week, we will
state that they are building a school
house over there.
Mr. Editor, we thought that you
Were one among the few;
But if you say we live in Dayville,
We will have to “collin’’ you.
We hear that Squire ()— will tackle
us this week. Probably we had bet¬
ter enclose ourselves with a wire fence
to keep his better half off, for we are
sure to go for him.
Mr. Davis, the tax receiver was
here one night last week, giving the
people a chance to empty their pock¬
ets next fall. Come again. Uncle
Tommy, and stay longer.
M. M. look her first boat ride the
other day and enjoyed it immensely,
for two reasons. First, because the
ride was pleasant, and second, because
the boat bore the name of Mittie.
We could not refrain mentioning
Mr. Peter Day this week, lie said it
would make him mad, and as it seems
to he the fashion to get mad, we think
he would look odd to remain in a good
humor.
We had lots of news to communicate
this week, but having many “crows to
pick” we have been kept busy hunting
black sacks in which to put the feath¬
ers, and did not have time to tell the
news.
M. M. will leave Saturday for llron
vvood, to lie gone a week. So she can
not write the items of this place for
the next issue of the Sentinel. How¬
ever, those who tackle her pro tern,
in her absence will have to settle with
her when she returns.
We are sorry that Echo could not
lmld out to “gallop with the gang,” as
she said she would when she began
her journey. We guess that is what
she wants to take back. We. are very
sorry for her, hut will leave her at
home to take care of the prodigal bees.
We are also sorry for Mr. Threadclotli
for he will miss the sweetened water.
