A mad dog in the vicinity of Pleasant Hill last Monday caused
quite an excitement and several shots were fired before he was killed.
It is not known whether the dog bit anything or anyone or not,
but Ira Yoak said he seemed to like lead pretty well, judging from the amount of
bullets he fed him from his “trusty rifle.”
Our village blacksmith, Silas Patterson, has been confined to
his bed for several days past with the measles.

Oldest in membership, Ruby Johnson will have the honor of
