• With the steadiest of nerves and the coolest of heads, Robert Knapp, a mere lad, stepped into the middle of Front Street, calmly climbed into the back of the buggy, walked out on the shafts and stopped a runaway horse.

• Miss Mozelle Bennett, daughter of L. M. Bennett, made an excellent impression when she rendered a violin solo at the homecoming week at Brighton, Mr. Bennett's former home. The bright, young lady is an enthusiastic student of the violin and her selection showed that she is already able to accomplish more than the majority of the players of the stronger sex. She was heartily encored and responded with another equally pleasing selection.

• It has been learned that one of the school districts in Wexford county has not maintained a school for several years and yet during all that time has regularly drawn and banked primary money and collected school taxes.
