Charley Flanders folks, since going to Da-
kota, have found pair of twins, boy and

visited him last week.
George V. got third money at Chicago last
week in the 2:19 class. Westmore, PAGER,
got to the front in 2:0l3{, the fastest time
on record, and was sold for $4,000.
Richard Underwood, the hero of two wars,
was badly kicked the other day by one OF his
horses, completely demoralzing him, leaving
him only one leg with which to propel him
self.
couple of Almenaites had little unpleas-
antness the other day. Both parties applied

That steer weighing l20215 pounds, which
we mentioned last week, was only two years
old. Had he been forty years old, he would
not have been much of steer, but as he was
we thought he was good one and we de-
sire our ten thousand readers TO know his
age.
O. ID. Putney, living Just west of town, has
a bran new girl baby, after six years of mar
ried life. Mrs. q. L. Sherrod kindly fur
nished US with this item. We have known
people to beat that time by five and half
years. But we are grateful for the item, just
the same.
DIR. Maynard don't relish the idea of going
down to Indianapolis, spending his money
and time to nominate Greenback candidate
for the Presidency, and then have the candi-
date announce to the Democratic Convention
that whoever il nominated, he would sup
port. 1t is a kind of pill the Doctor don't
like to take.
Sheriff business being dull, and politics
rather high, the Wild Irishman concluded to
90 into the bean business. He has four
village lots planted, and has just got them
hoed out nicely. The rows are rather crook
ed, but he argues that he can get more beans
in crooked row than in a straight one. The
theory seems plausible, and we see no reason
why Hank would not make a good granger
A woman from Waverly fixed up one OF
her little kids last Saturday afternoon and
came to town in the evening TO have Hodges
the good looking photographer, take his
picture. John told her he could not take Q
picture after dark. "If you WILL says she
81 will hold the light, besides paying you vel
for it, as Jimmy is just two years old to-day
and want to send his picture to his grand
ma" John shook his head and the poor
woman had TO go home without Jimmy's
picture.
The whortleberry swamps are full of Der
ries, and pickers are gathering them in by
, bushels. While il is true that we would not
pick bushel for a cent less that nine dollars
they can be got in the market for considera
bly, less. In n few days the festive schoo
boy will have his mouth blued by the annual
pie, and the world will know that we are
in the midst of the season. Whortleberry
merchants are preparing for the swamps
and the catch will be the greatest we hav,
had for many years.

. men, who have had their eye on this case
!. can now rest ut ease.
