Mr.. Greenlea is feeding quite lot Of

VIM. Stanley was engaged in heating
a tire to put on his wagon the other day
and used hay for that purpose. His lit
tie boy saw the operation, and next day
concluded he would heat a tire for his
own amusement. Well, he got tired and
so did all the family and some of the
neighbors get tired before that fire was
put out; but Stanley didn't have any hay
or straw left to start another fire with.
Moral: Be careful of fires in the house
or out at this season of the year.
Well, the DAnIEs for Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday came in last night IN
good order; but we had generally con-
cluded here that the NEWS had "busted."
FRIDAY, Oct. 3.
Joe Miller was on the jury yesterday,
and from the way he set on his seat !
concluded he was hard of hearing in his
left hip.
The social gathering at the NJ. E.
Church was poorly attended on account
of the disagreeable weather, but those
present agreed in pronouncing it the
most sOciable social ever held there
By series of votes it was decided to
hold, every two weeks, Ladies' Dime
Social'' at the different houses of the
ladies interested. The officers elected
were as follows: President, Mrs. Rev
Outlet; vice presidents, Mrs. F. Drake
and Miss Josie Cook; treasurer, Mrs. J.
Lesh; secretary, Mrs. j. Bond; assist
ant secretary, Miss Effie Bond. The
first meeting will be held at the residence
of Mr.. John Bond. The date of the
meeting will be duly given.
You have, no doubt, often seen the
folly of going into law suit illustrated
by the picture of cow with one party
to the suit holding the COW by the horns
and the other by the tail, while the law
yers sat on either side drawing the milk
Such case has been twice tried this
week before Squire Miller and a jury
The first jury failing to agree, were dis
charged, a new one selected and the case
retired. The second jury finding for the
plaintiff, notice of appeal was given
by the defendants. Now all this was
about bobtail COW which wouldn't
sell for enough to pay one-third the cost
already incurred. There were IA wit
nesses summoned, and from fifty to sew
enty-five spectators spent their time
hearing the case tried, and yet times are
hard. KENO.
SATURDAY, Oct. f.
Shorty" is now assistant r. r. agent
r. II. Mahon has broken ground tor
his new residence.
We undertook to count the dogs in
Americas, but found them numberless,
as we'll as worthless.
James Swarts has placed a hedge
sprout on our table that measures IA feet
and three inches. How is that for one
summers growth?
Mr.. Pancoast, business manager of the
Era spent couple of days in town this
week as attorney in a law suit. Mr.
Pancoast IS quiet unassuming gentle
man, and made numerous friends while
here.
The ENIPoRIA WEEKLY News came
down from Council Grove yesterday
morning. Comment is unnecessary.
j. S. Gibson, our enterprising hard
ware merchant, is entitled to the thanks
of the community and of the travelling
public and of every horse in the land, for
grading the sides of the cross-walk across
Broadway. This should have been done
long since by the township, but was not,
and Mr.. Gibson has had it done at his
own expense. Americas needs more
such men as ]. s. Gibson. KENO.
