Last Sunday night would have suited the Chapman Creek phantom in a white sheet, but none has been seen for months. The infant children of J. F. Scherer and W. D. Connor were buried in the last week, and community sympathy goes to the bereaved. The cold wave froze news matter, and the town ponders a flouring mill project as enterprising men sought. Some mugwamps will not run for post office, arguing neighbors doubt past democracy.
