-The heaviest rains of the
season fell on Monday and
Monday night, and were ac
companied by an unusually
heavy east wind. The little
brooks in town were convert
ed into roaringcataracts and
fences, etc. were swept away
by the rushing waters, But
Tuesday dawned bright and
clear.
Jack Mast says the an
nouncement that he was re
cently married in Globe to
Miss Mollie Glenn, was a
huge joke, but that he could
have stood it better had we
not married him to the
wrong lady. From the tenor
of Jack's conversation, we
take it for granted that it is
not his fault that the report
of his marriage is not true,
but to another one of the
fair sex.
All of the mail routes to

a minute and count the cost.
inese star route speculators
will have to perform the ser
rice themselves, and we are
of the opinion that by the

But what about the blood
which the heart must pump at.
the rate ol 70 times a minute?
If the heart is to be sturdy and
the nerves strong this blood
must be rich and pure. Hood's
