ers of the CHRONICLE, will drop line,
retrospective and prospective. I wiz
'nly give such brief notice id my nara
tive as the agent for Bancroft & Go. took
a minute biographical history Of our
citizens that will appear in the forth
coming history of Montana.
will begin my narrative with per.
son who should have historical mention.
but fear the agent missed him. / pre-
sumo most of the readers are aware that
a portion of Old Virginia is called Tuck
a-hoe;" for the benefit of those who do
not understand why or are unacquainted
with the particulars connected with this
man, will explain. Manv years ago
man stole hoe, anG the Virginians said
he ''tuck hoe" From that time that
portion of Virginia has be.n called
Etuek-a-hne,n and her .lenule "tuck-a.
hoes" In the person Of ]. D. we have
the identical man that "tuck -de-hoe,"
he can relate many interesting circum-
stances that happened down thar in an
arley day"

chinery, but he is like Bridget Of old,
"the ould way is the bist yit.h
J.Y. F. says that he always stands in
with his neighbors.
A. R. says that she can saw out moro
affection, hug tighter and kiss sweeter
than any lady in the neighborhood. She
has an accumulation of over fifty years.
JIG. failing to eclipse Maud 8. in
her record, has been quiet for awhile,
but match is on foot with him and q
Kansas filley, the race is to be long
one, and think that he will lead in the
home stretch-if he don't cork himself
J. B. lives upon a natural observatory,
and is commensurate in his ideas. He
insists that bakers dozen has thirteen
in it. presume that that number viii
have to be the graduation.
0. S. was attacked by innumerable
bumble-bees, during the summer, which
seemed to confuse him for a time, but
after awhile his distraction was sur
mounted by his usual seasoning. He
soon thought of the old way of judging
them. He was unusually successful In
his plan of capture, completely juGing
the who.e swarm, and is rewarded by an
immeasurable quantity of honey, and
more than that il Is all his.
NIX. would like to acquire an equal
amount, but ifit is likely to make him
slober as bad as the English language
does, should say let it alone.
G. c.. NJ. has been to church lately,
gave the preacher five dollars. There
seems to have been marked change
come over him. 1t will Insult him now
to offer him ava drap of Paddles eve
water
A T. the hermit, still holds the fort,
yet think that he might be induced to
throw off the shackels. I often, when
passing the hermitage, hear him sing.
ing -
ooh come to my mountain home,
NY maid with mild blue eye,
Where the wild deer delights to roam
And the eagles nest hangs on high"
1t has been noticed that the buEzards
always glides over the hermitage IN
their visits. The death-like silence at
tracts them presume-can't be any
thing else.
A. L. froze his fingers few years
ago, but guess he is all right now.
A.W. is the proprietor of the half
way house is supreme in his hospitali-
ties, gives free lunches at all hours, has
on hand an inexhaustible supply Of yell
ler-leg chickens tor preachers.
H. c. has the exemplary habit of at
tending to his own business, and obey
ing one of the commands of the scrip
ture, goes to church occasionally. ]
will see that he is properly rewarded IN
the future world.
J.B. Is troubled with the rheumatism,
has TO leave the ton button of his panta
unbuttoned to let the pain ont, is q BACH
lor of the forlorn list, as source of sol.
ace mounts his "orse" every Sunday and
rides TO Noisy creek and gets q dish Of
the "hever" lasting gospel.
G D. T. not having been very success
fnl for a few years is going to abandon
the could way" is tearing out his stones
and putting in rolls, hopes to improve
his productions. i.'e
Theadora Normandus, is king of Noisy
creek basin, alternates from witticism to
sarcasm. This is caused by extreme
change of climate from southern CaliSor-
MIA to Montana. and bad boys putting
stones in his irrigating ditch. II ls .
pity, for naturally he is big souled.
AL. C. lives upon tributary OF Noisy
creek. is branching out from farming
into thorcughbreds. At Uresent bis
stock belongs to the Holstein family. !
believe he is not entirely satisfied with
tA:s- family He wants TO trv some
other. l don't know what they call
them--its not the Poll Angus-bui
muley all the same.
In summary way, win say thai
although the news from the east Of high
tides, Is indicative of cold weather, It
don't inl us with empty Foot-housss
and graineries. although we have 81
children in this district to feed, and !
the winter is not too cold we may have
s,me more before spring, with two mills
to grind fer us, our chances in the future
will compare favorab!y with any Othe
community.
Wishing you all a Merry Christina
and Happy New Year, ! viii subscnbt
