The groundhog saw his shadow occasionally during Monday, if he happened to be out. So we can have 6 more weeks of winter or more.

Geo. Brown, living 4 miles north of here died Thursday morning and his body was taken on the train to his former home where he was buried. A short funeral service was held at the house Sunday afternoon at 2 o’clock, many neighbors attending. Geo. Brown was a man of quiet habits and a good farmer as long as he was able to work. He came to his farm about 13 years ago and with the help of his boys, converted a wilderness into a farm. For the last 3 years he has been sickly and finally had to take to bed with cancer of the stomach of which he died.
