Wc are sorry to report that Mr..
Jumcs i. Cox is very i'll with n rising
in his head.
Mr.. G. i. w. Dunn and family are
all sick with the grip.
The next time that we sec Mr.. III.
G. p. We will inform him that FIVE
brakes we're seen lust Sunday night
week. So tho next time he goes hunt
ing no had better carry "buck shot" in
the place Of "srow balls" as no will
find them much harder to kill than
'ducks."
Some Of our roads are in a fearful
condition. Tho boys shy that it is the
''cow track"
Your reporter heard that there is n
young man in our community that has
made five hundred dollars and IL horse
and buggy this year by counting. 1t
must pay; wish | was single again.
Can YOU tell US, through your pa
per, why it is that some people go to
Gods house to m~isbehaye? Also,
why the bnck seats in our churches are
so popular?
What u happy world this would be
if every man would attend to his own
business and let his n%eighbor's one.
Some people wear two faces,
And that is very Unfair,
For when you look for a man
You expect TO find him there.
Don't always be finding fault
And talking about your brother,
For if you talk about II man
You'll talk about another.
Oh, no, don't never shake his hand,
Wearing that false face.
And then go of and hand him around,
Saying he is not fit Tor the place.
If there is a man
You think hasn't done you right.
Don't sneak around
And try to stab a harmless man Tor spite.
Some people love to tell you news.
They think it very kind
10 tell you something they think
Will always please your mind.
But if they knew
What other folks were thinking,
Perhaps they would see what FOOLS they
For trying to be kind.
W. cannot blame some people though,
They cannot help but tattie,
For long ago | heard it said
An empty cart would rattle.

MH. EDITOR :---l!ur beat has i'm
proved wonderfully. All Of us back
woodsy boys have come to the front.
[ think it is due to the literary.
A goodly number Of us have gotten
to be- reporters, We'll. our talents
run in that line. Some Of ns are a lit
tic more larncd than others, but
Guess Who" will follow md correct
all mistakes. 1T is human to err, but
folly to be wise
We all want n free ride on the iron
horse to Fayetteville. We believe in
working IL way, and if we can't work
out q first class ride We will 60 OH the
COW catcher.
Guess Who" hns appointed one Of
our beat boys n "Masher,' My ex-
~pericncc with him is that he is poor
on q "mnsh," but death on a squeeze"
Our Social Circle meets Wednesday
night. What q time we will have.
Then come April. The fools are
writing the fools us hard rs we can
When this bent gets through with
all these %trolics you will be glad 10
pay us Off for a while.
The weather has trumpcd us. We
have been reading upon tho weather
signs, Herschils, Hicks, &c. and all
have rallied and vegetables killed.
/ think Uncle Joel could be oil moro
service to his community and ours if
he would quit cutting stovc wood and
devote more Of his attention to his
Weather signs. I am told that no has
a pet sign by which he is entirely gov
crned as to rain which never fails, He
has two weights suspended by q cord
and he can tell very accurately when
it is going to rain Will Uncle Joel
tell us all about some Of his signs. es>
peoially this one? GUESS AGAIN.
