• Preparations are being made to make the teachers' institute to be held here on the 22nd inst., interesting to those who may attend.

• He expects the mill to be at his place in a few days.
• S. M. Steel, the hustling fruit agent, is at home from a few days' rest.
• Mr. Steel represents one of the best nurseries in the country, and you should see him before buying.
• Melvin Steel is breaking a yoke of yearling steers, and it looks now like the old work oxen would come into service again on Mack run.  Melvin is a hustler and knows just how to break young steers to the yoke.
• We are glad to see the announcement of Levi Skidmore, Jr., for the office of sheriff. He is the  very man we  want.  His past record is enough.  Go where you will in our district, you will find none  but Skidmore men.
• The school at this place is progressing nicely under the management of Miss Ola Starcher. Miss Ola is one of Webster's best teachers.  This is the second term she has taught our school, and as everybody is well pleased with her we wish that the trustees would employ her again.
• Having noticed in the ECHO the suggestion of T. M. Rogers as a good man for Commissioner of the County Court, we wish to say that Mr. Rogers is a good man, and we believe the citizens of Webster county would make no mistake in selecting him.  But we want to suggest another good man, and that man is J. G. Springston, of Upper Glade.  As has already been said, we want a man who is willing to do his duty, a man who has the public good at heart, and we believe therre is no better man for the office than Mr. Springston.  Let us hear from others.

• Mrs. Annie Thomas has had a severe spell of the grip, but we are glad to learn she is able to be out again.

• B. Goff, of Boggs, is doing a big job of grubbing for L. A. Thomas.  If we had more such good grubbers as Mr. Goff this would not be such a "Wooden" country.
