| wonder il it is Necessary for me to tip
my hat to be admitted into the circle
But to apologize for my long absence,
first and the main thing is that there has
but little transpired worthy of note. You
see person must travel or, should at least,
TO become posted in the incidents and ac-
cidents of this life. Yes, travelling always
gives us n better knowledge Of human ma
ture and a more expanded view of men
and things. Shut up within the narrow
bounds OF the social circle,we are apt TO be-
come somewhat narrow minded and Judge
the entire world to Ire either according to
the estimate VIC place on ourselves or
on our friends.
But to change the subject, Mill Grove
aud her surroundings have frightened up
since JIck Frost paid us such an extended
visit. The millyAr Is fairly groan under
their lond of logs; in fact every kind Of
business is in fourislil lg condition.
The Mill Grove post office has changed
hands, and now the smiling face of 'John
Smith is to he seen behind the boxes.
The spelling match rage has died ont in
this vicinity, and "old folks "parti, have
taken its place. Since the sleighing they
have one or two each.wcek. AT these par
ties they dance, play euchre, have music
and good time generally. Their motto
is no unmarried need apply.
SAD SHOOTING AFFRAY.
Last Friday eve. at a spelling school, in
the Panchus district, southeast of here,
three of the FoStoria blools came, and
they acted so disgracefuly that the teach
er ordered them out nf the house. They
went, aud continued their bad conduct,
until it became unbearable, "a much so
that Wesley Panchus went out to try and
keep the boys quiet. lie had scarcely got
out the door, when two OF the boys struck
at him. lie guarded off the blows and
knocked them both down, whereupon the
other, Young Schreck, son of saloon
keeper Of Fosloria, drew his revolver and
shot three times in quick succession nj
Paucluis, the last shot taking effect in the
abdomen. The boys then fled and were
followed to F0stOria where they were
promptly arrested aud put in the lock np,
to await their trial. Mr.. Panchus was
carried home, and DIR. Hodge WAS sent for.
On arrival he pronounced the wound
dangerous one, aud at last account the
young man was just alive. Mr.. Panchus
is young farmer. respected by all who
know hIm, and the sad affair cast gloom
over the whole neig hOrhOOd.
Nina vikings" says "Alf" said that
mntrimOny is II good thing, hut that
fellow loses lots Of fun" Fact, hut then
there is one advantage, "A;f don't have
to darn his sicks by moonlight. AZ" Nina"
SAYS she has TO. Zoo bad "Mina :" take

man, or women to be alone, even il they do
lose little iun.
