Miss Shettleworth, who will spen'
a few days IN Osceola.
Mr., N. l.. Tucker, wife and lit
tie daughter, left last Tuesday 70
Texas, where they contemplate max
ing their home in future. We dom
like to see any of our citizens leayt
for other states, but if they mus
leave, we always somehow like t.
hear of them going to Tesas-iol
then we know they'll come bach
again.
The young gentlemen OF Osce'
ola will please accept our thank.
for the nice entertainment gotten up
last Monday evening, which afforded
our guests such pleasant diversion
Considering the very short time al
lowed in which to get it up, our
young friends displayed rare tact
energy in an emergency. A de-
lightful time was had, and all went
away well pleased with the even
ing's entertainment.
Mr.. John Herman, a young
man living on Carson Lake, died
Thursday morning at the Planters
Hotel, of lockJaw. While using a
pocket knife several days ago, be
inflicted a wound on his left arm,
near the wrist, which seyered an
artery. Simple home treatment was
resorted to, until a day or two be-
fore his death, when he came to
town to consult physician, but too
late. Modification had set in, re-
sulting in lockjaw, and speedy
death.

Turkey hunting is fine sport at
this time Of the year. The editor
Of this paper went out the other
evening and lay out all night so as
to be on hand carly in the morning
when the gobblers began to chant
their matin hymns. Altogether he
rode about twenty miles, got his
Ieet wet, and came back home next
day Juggling 40 cent turkey.
But thea he had about FIVE dollars
and ten cents worth Of iun. We
can't say how much fun the gentle
man had who accompanied him;
but as he failed to get a turkey, it
is reasonable to suppose his fan
didn't amount to so much, and for
that reason, wont mention his name.
French & Robinson's Show,
previously billed for this place, gave
two performances here on the lith
inst, to good audiences. Everybody
knows what a show is, hence a de-
scription Of the affair is unnecessary.
You have all seen the same teats
and performances time and again
from the ground and lofty tumbling
down to the tricks of the dealer in
peanuts and circus lemonade. The
iea;s of Mr.. Barclay as bare back
rider, however, deserve more than a
passing notice. His riding, and
springing from the ground to the
back of horse while at full speed
and lighting on his feet, elected
rounds of applause. Mr.. Barclay
may well lay claims to the cham
pionship of the world as bare back
rider.
Some of the little tots-year,
lings, as they are called on Big
Lake--boys who ought to have been
at home in their trundle beds, late
last Saturday night, painted the
town red-smearing window panes,
doors and fronts of houses. Parents
who are careless and neglectful as
to the whereabouts and conduct of
their little boys after midnight hours,
would no doubt feel grieved to
have to answer before the courts for
the conduct of theii children. Boys,
if your parents will permit to keep
late hours on the streets, con6ne
your mischievous pranks among boys
of your own age. Grown up boys,
who own property, don't enter into
the spirit of your sports with the
same degree of allowance they did
when they We're of your own age,
and are quick to kick against any
tresspass upon their rights as men.
Have your fun, but don't injure or
destroy property. That costs money,
and the loss Of money is what hurts.
You will understand this better as
you grow older and begin to as
sumo the duties of manhood, and
acquire property.
