The two Fairbanks think of join
ing forces and celebrating the 4th in
grand shape
Rev. r. Norton has 121 acres in
crops on his farm down in the south
eastern part of the county.
--Chas. Butts, Esq, left for Mime
sofa on business trip, the first of the

For the lightest, strongest, most
simple and easily managed mower now
made, call at Warner Bros, Blunt and
Pierre, Oak. 8
1t is claimed that strong decoc-
ton Of smart-weed tea sprinkled on
cabbage plants is n sure remedy for
those detestable pects, the cabbage
worm and little black heas.
"A car load of the celebrated
Wood Binders, with the new Bundle
Carrier, have been sold this season by
Warner Bros, of Blunt and Pierre.
Some Of the Pierre school girls
have caught the mania to be "bad i'm
the same sense that so many young
men do when they get out West. Re-
volvers were taken from three school
girls in their teens in that city last
week by one Of their teachers. 1t don't
seem to be fully understood what idea
animated the romantic hearts of the
young misses, but, as they threatened
to "shoot," they were very properly
disarmed, and should have been fan
ned where it would do the most good
and sent to bed supperless. A love af-
fair contracted at the skating rink is
said to have been the aggrivating cause
of this unusual warlike demonstration.
Girls at this susceptible age have little
business at suce a place unless under
the guardianship of father, brother or
some trusted friend
In the last issue Of the Blunt Advocate
some one signing himself Memo write
an excrutiatingly funny article on THE
Clifton Cannon Ball" Had we space we
should publish it. just to show our readers
what a bad case of it" he had but we
have not. After portraying the expert
ence he had in breaking the writer goes
on to say that his provisions giving out,
he went to Clifton to replenish, but there
was no bread in the whole place for sale"
We will here remark that this is crime
which we hope to remedy in time by hav-
ing bakery, At last he imagined that
he found lady who gave him loaf, of
which he partook for supper, and then
goes on to tell how terribly heavy it was
and how awfully it gave him the night
mare. &c, comparing it to a cannon ball
The simple assertion that the ladies OF
Clifton cannot, and do not. make good
bread, would call for blud knee deep,
but the sequel will show that we have no
occasion to wade in gore on this score
In the fifth line Memo" says that he left
home with beautiful SMILE" and,
judging from the way il affected him. We
should infer that it held as much as two
gallons and that he "smole from that
beautiful smile quite frequently, il not
oftencr. At any rate, when Memo
struck Clifton he was not in a condition
to tell cannon-ball from a loaf of bread.
After wandering aimlessly around for a
time, he brought up in kokesh's black
smith shop, and Joes moustache being
young. and having on his apron. II is no
wonder he took him for lady" Joe
thinks he made supper out of horse nails,
which the snake poison in his stomach
failed to fully cut and accounts for the bad
dreams and impression of cannon-ball in
his mind. Leave the demijohn behind
next time and the bread will be all right
