Capt W J. Taylor, than whom a
more clever or efficient conductor never
boarded a train, has had his mansion in
the east end painted white, which makes
it very attractive.

munity outside of complaints of the
warm weather and no appetite to eat.
We may grumble a little about the
weather, but never will about our appe-

her in the meat house.
Gardens about town are still burning
up and suffering badly for rain. At this
writing, Saturday morning, clouds are
forming thick in the sky and there is
good indication Of rain. We trust it
will come for it is needed badly. Many
of the cisterns are drying up.
The engine that pulled the train con-

some, as the train was delayed here an
hour or more, awaiting another engine.
Col. ]. M. Bewley and Chairman G.
A. McNutt, knocked the heat out of
their systems last Saturday morning by
cutting the breeze with their spirited
animals. AS equestrians, they made a
creditable display.

egg in the fireplace. Come again, old
hen, and cackle and lay as many eggs
as you choose. The GAZETTE is always

Our enterprising dealer in agricultural
machinery, Mr.. Gregg, had his little fly |
trap busy at work last week. He said,
