The Webster Mill Company have experienced some trouble in the past in having sufficient grain at all times to keep the mill running. A To remedy this the company is at present engaged in the construction of a large elevator which they will use for storing grain to be ground, into flour whenever the market does not furnish a sufficient supply to keep the mill running at full blast.

Hagey of Bristol was in town last night purchasing from Jewett Brothers an entire new stock of groceries for a new store he will open at Bristol. Mr. Hagey was in business at Bristol but closed out a year or more ago, since which he had been out on the Pacific coast.

The Milbank High School ball team came over last Saturday for a game with the Webster High School team. It was a very good day for a game and the exhibition given by the two teams was one of the very best ever seen on the diamond in this city. Frank Byrne was chosen as empire and a notable feature was that both nines were well satisfied that never a kick has registered. The game was played in an hour and twenty-five minutes and the following is the score of the official scorekeeper: MULBAVE. For the Best B 0 110 SW   ® 0 8.

April 3rd was the 8th anniversary of the marriage day of Mr. and Mrs. E. D. Landon and a large number of their neighbors and friends took advantage of the occasion and assembled at the family residence to see that it was properly celebrated. There was undoubtedly a very happy event in this family twenty-eight years ago but it could not have been more pleasant or more thoroughly enjoyed than the evening in Lily. Everyone was there to show their sincere friendly and kindly feeling. The evening was spent with speaking, reading music and the usual happy pastimes of such events. The worthy couple were the recipients of many beautiful, ornamental and useful presents to commemorate this anniversary and to prove the esteem in which they are held in this community. An excellent lunch was served. The happy throng dispersed at a late hour and all parties interested were the happier for the many joys furnished by the evening. The Brooklyn System of Planting Under the new tree planting ordinance in Kansas City property owners will have presented to them a suggestion for the planting of trees that will greatly enhance the beauty of the streets at practically no extra cost to the property owners. It is known that the Brooklyn system and provides for tree clusters at the street corners. Under the ordinance, the city forester ascertains the wishes of the property owners to a great extent in tree planting, and it is believed that they will be favorably impressed with the proposed arrangement. The plan described in detail is as follows, showing the effect it will produce and the advantages it will afford: At street intersections, when practicable, place eight trees of large growing sorts, two trees on each corner, each tree, as nearly as may be, on the tree line of one street and on the property line of the other street. The tops of these trees, properly trained, will be high above all awnings and lights, and in time will form a groined arch over both streets. This clump will form a dense shade. Where it will do the greatest good and least harm. As the trees grow, the lower limbs may be removed until there is a clean shaft twenty feet high. The space under the trees will be high, light, and airy and shady. Should any branch approach too near a building it may be removed. One can hardly realize the beauty and utility of such an arrangement without seeing it. In hot days, the shade will be very acceptable to those waiting for cars, yet will be very pleasant for friends and acquaintances meeting on the corners. People can cross the streets in the shade of this canopy. These places, which in hot days are like furnaces heating the air, will be changed into cooling shade. These clumps of sturdy trees supporting one another will form barriers to high winds and protect single trees and property in general. THE TOWN'S TREES. Some Points Abroad Their Care and Nothing makes a residence street in a town more beautiful or desirable as a place of hot weather than fine shade trees, and yet on the street more care is more than fine. They may be the finest oaks, elms, or maples, and yet about every fifth tree will show worms' nests or dead moths. The owner is nearly always indifferent, and of course it is no concern of his neighbors. Shade trees should be trimmed and attended to every spring as much as the fruit trees or hedges, and in buying or selling a house and lot they should be given a money value along with the buildings. A single dead limb spoils the beauty of the finest tree, and a worm’s nest is the beginning of tree poison. It will not be many years after its first appearance before the nest will cover a good share of the top of the tree, and within five or six the grandest oak is ready to crash down before a summer gale. Massachusetts and other eastern states are paying out many thousands of dollars yearly to kill the insects which began working on the shade trees a few years ago, and scores of towns have had to mourn the loss of their finest elms and maples. The authorities of every town should have power in this matter. While the trees along a public walk may be owned by an individual, they are public property in a sense. They go to make up the beauty of the street and the value of the property thereon and offer their grateful shade to every pedestrian. If the owner is too busy or indifferent to prevent their destruction and with them the trees of his neighbor, an ordinance should permit of its being done at his expense. He has no more right to harbor a nuisance in a treetop than on the earth. Once the worms find lodgment in a tree, they will gradually spread to others, and in time, if nothing is done to check them, they will work their way all over anilage. A Mistake at Maar Tewas. Stifffield, Xlaw., like so many other towns, turned its back on the river when the railroad was built, ways the architectural record. It appeared that the river had lost its usefulness. It was a great surprise to the people of the town. The river was a substantial affair in the reign of the maiden queen, who was by no means indifferent to the pleasures of the table. The first course on great occasions, as a contemporary, would probably be illustrated flummery, stewed broth, spinach broth, gruel, or hot en pot ch. The second consisted of fish, among which we may note lam pies, stockfish, and sturgeon, with side dishes of porpoise. The third course comprised quaking puddings, bag puddings, black puddings, white puddings, and narrow puddings. Then came veal, beef, capons, humble pie, mutton, marrow pasties, Scotch corn, wild fowl, and game. In the fifth course, all kinds of sweets, creams in all their varieties, custards, cheese, cakes, jellies, warden parrots, junkets, syabubs, and so on, to be followed perhaps by white cheese and tansy cake; for the drinks, ale, and beer, wine, sack, and numerous varieties of mender or in the English, some of which were concocted out of as many as five and twenty herbs and were redolent of sweet country perfume. The Redlands. A remarkable peculiarity of the redwood (Sequoia Mappen irons; is its manner of increase, which is from dormant buds at the base of the stump as well as from the seed. When a tree was blown down or fall, as its period of existence was reached, several shoots pushed upward from the circumference of the stump and, of course, in a circle. These in time became fully grown. Ten or a dozen feet in diameter. In after years, as these trees have fallen, each would have a circle of trees surrounding it.
