LOTS OF CHERRIE's.-Bad boys hold
on with their eyelids and steal cherries
from the tOpmost branches, while good
boys who have a few of your May
Dukes, fall from the lower limbs and
are crippled for life, even before they
are half full. This is too wonderful for
US.
THE HAIRS OF OUR HEAD are all
numbered, but our friend who resides
in the rural districts couldn't count up
into the high numbers. He is hand~
some, but his teeth mar his beauty
somewhat. There is about 10 minutes
intermissiOn between them and when
he splits his face TO smile; they look
like Beechers ragged edge" or the
circumference of a badly cut "buzz
saw" Difference of opinion as to how
teeth should be stuck in mans jaw

female portion of his household and

Looking like one who has

WHO is THE PRETTIESr GIRL is the
lques1Dn now beng discussed here,
which discussion arose FROM an article
appearing in the GAINESVILLE Enter
prise. We give our candid opinion
without "iear favor or affection.
..'rhe prettiest girl we ever saw
Was sucking cider through a straw,
She bumped her head against the wall,
Ard swallowed cider straw and all.
WELEARNED TO DAY that one of
our citizens has reached the ripe old
age of 1O2 years. We have often read
of a locality so beautiful that they had
to kill man to starta graveyard.
That was UniontUWn. One of our old
citizens, Mr.. Mitchell Caldwell, OF
Springfield, Ohio, will soon call to see
his friends and acquaintan in this
welcome. A little Daughter of Mr..
Wesley Humphrey is seriously ill.
The PRIMARY MEETING for selec-
tion of delegates to the Congressional
Convention will be held at this town
ION Saturday afternoon (22nd), and as q
nomination Is equivalent to election it
is all-important.that each elector be pre-
sent. Each individual has il in his
own power to assist in sending a good
and honest man to Congress, then why
stay away from the primary meeting
that elects such man, and then grum.
BILE and pray for rightnes lawmakers,
when we make no effort to put such in
power. Col. Poorman seems to be the
choice of the people, and before you
vote against him make yourself &C.
quainteJ with the character of those
whom you place in opposition. Let
all turn out to the Primary Meeting.
