TRIPLETT.


| Mr.. Daniels has done nice wor
in the plastering and finish of Wi
Bowman's new house.
Mrs. Nathan Meadors is on
visit from Howard county to he
father, Mr., Frank Walker.
| Miss FL Bowman has returne'
home from fortnight's visit witt
friends in the city on the Kaw.
We hear that Walter Herndol
has bought out the stock and viii
open general store IL the Shup'
building, at Mendon.
Mr.. ColIy, our efficient teacher
at Walker school house, says the
scholars are four and five IN a seat
and terribly crowded,
The sweetest man we know OF
here is Mr.. Frank Pherson, who lives
in classes" having made 1,SOO gal
Ions and not through yet.
Mrs. Sue Bowman leaves for heI
annual visit to her sisters, Mrs. Mil
Ter, of Kansas City. and Mrs. Mary
jarrett, of Springfield, Mo.
Denny Bowman, VIM. Blackman,
Mack Gound and somebody else left
for tour through the Southwest,
with ''cheap homes in view.
In yourrecord of premiums at the
Keytesville fair, the premium on best
pair of ducks is enormously credited
to George Williams, who, only won
first on turkeys.
IF those clerks from Brunswick
who were at the fair, we're so anxious
for an introduction to q prepossess-
ing young lady on the promenade,
will investigate the matter a little
closer, they will find that although
they were sold cheap, the young
lady is not married lady after all.
Hope it will be- alesson to ''smart
Alecs.
We notice ''Aunt Sally" has
hidden the COURIER farewell. Well,
well, to think she never sent home
the borrowed dress pattern. Oh, it
was to bad. We could ''a tale un-
fold" but we won't this time, but
"Aunt Sally" now, don't try to
shut our eyes next time, for if we
don't wear glasses we knew which
way the road runs.
Z We met many old friends and
made more pleasant new acquain-
tances, while on our trip to the fair.
put we lost our "purp." Ifanybody
picked up stray, thinking him a
thoroughbred, that one is badly
fooled. He is a red brown shaggy
fellow, with red eyes and long
bushY tail, and will answer to the
name cf Tip will speak when
you give him something to eat, no,
just before you give it to him. Any
other information can give the per-
son in possession will be. sent if
writer Will enclose stamped envelope
or postal card.
While was gone some one kindly
relieved me of the trouble of feeding
a small portion of my fowls, taking
a few of a kind. [ shall look for
more opposition in the poultry line
next year. The same some one also
entered the house, but contented
themselves with leaving all the
bureau and stand drawers open and
wound up by stripping our one
"ewe lamb, . in the shape of a pecan
tree, of its supply of nuts. The slim
haul they made in the house was
caused by an extremely lank condi-
tion of both larder and pocketbook.
and as we had on "our best" in
apparel they couldn't be content
with our "eyerydays.''
Yes, the fair was a good one. No
one need to object to it this year,
and as an epitome of Charlton
county's gifts, should be well pat
ronized by her people, good fair
being an lnducement to outsiders to
invest in land here. Our county
papers 60 to many states. I often
send them to Massachusetts and
Georgia. If half their readers do
the same 1T is widely circulated, and
judging by myself, upon receiving
copy from friend they are carefully
scanned. The officers connected
with the fair were gentIemanly and
obliging, and goods entrusted to
them were nicely handled, and well
guarded. The premiums were good.
l have now some that have been in
use among children for year and
apparently as good as new. Mr..
Hill certainly deserves well of Chari-
ton county people and / know they
hope he will continue to hold the
helm at the fair grounds.
