Our friend Gusteve Wiltshire has

sir
James Strider and Cecil Baker who

ton, Va, came home Saturday to

A Smithfield lassie, in converse
ton overheard in manner not in
tended, by the third party, was heard
to exclaim to her lover, while out
driving the other evening, in tone
too sweet to imagine: Tom, you are
a dear little creature but for goodness
sake don't tell Ma she objects to me
telling the boys anything like that
and makes special objections to them
for not using both hands in driving"
We noticed Mr.. E. l.. Smith of Mid
dleway the first of the week hand
somely equipped in new bicycle suit
passing through the village, enroute
for-well am almost unable to say,
but from his conversation we learned
he intended on taking Wade; as he
had short pants on ofcourse we thought
he meant if he should get very warm
he would wade in some stream for the
purpose of cooling off, but later on it
occurred to me his intentions were to
captivate one of the fair sex. AS we
now understand he was enroute for
Boonsboro', Md, and as his Wade lives
at that place of course the mystery is
solid. He will spend week there
and then return home. We hope he
will come this way, or rather that way
so we may extend congratulation in a
more personal way. X.
