The La Cygne Weekly Journal Linn County Saturday January 4, 1879 Barnard items. Christmas was remarkably quiet in this neighborhood. The Barnard Literary Society flourishes, and on every Saturday night much eloquence is expended. The war in school district No. 77 is happily ended by victory for the people. The officers crawfished.

THey have for the last three weeks been murdered wholesale by contemptible pot hunters and for shipment east, in violation of the law. Your merchants have advertised to ship daily. There should be sportsment enough in La Cygne to sett that the law is vindicated.
