About three inches of snow fell on Thursday evening.

C.H. Cummings lost one of his best horses last week.

At a meeting of Common Council, a six foot walk was ordered built to the depot.

About 1:30 Wednesday morning the citizens were awakened by an explosion. Some said it was a discharge of dynamite fired by an enthusiastic Republican, but others say it was the explosion of Peck's soup house.

Mrs. Peter Miller of the town of Warner died Nov. 5, 1909, from the effects of cancer.

The residence of H. Frankenberg, which is now nearly completed, narrowly escaped destruction by fire Wednesday evening. A stove was set up and fire kept to dry the plastering and one of the workmen took up the ashes in a bushel basket and sit it down on the floor, when discovered, it had burned through into the cellar, which was filled with kindling, the refuse of the building, and was burning briskly. The fire was soon put out, but a few moments more headway and the new house would have been doomed.
