charge Of the seine at Hunts Bluff
Friday, and only onught one hundred
aid thirteen. God bless you, Mr.. r.,
wc arc very fond Of shad.
we are sorry to report that Mr..
james E. Cox is very i'll with a rising
in his head.
Mr.. G. j. w. Dunn and family are
all sick with tho grip.
The next time that we sec Mr.. Fl.
G. p. VIC will inform him that five
brakes were seen lust Sunday night
week. So the next time he goes hunt
ing no had better carry "buck shot" in
the place Of "snow balls" as he will
find them much hardcr to kill than
"ducks."
Some of our roads are in a fearful
condition. The boys shy TINT it is the
Cow track
Your reporter heard that there is n
young man in II community that has
made five hundred dollars and a horse
and buggy this year by counting. 1t
must pay; wish I was single again.
Can you tell US, through your pa
per, why it is that some people go to
Gods house to misbehaYe? Also,
why the buck seats ia our churches nre
so popular?
What Il happy world this would be
if evory man would attend to his own
business and let his neighbor's Il 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 off and hand him around,
Saying he is not fit Ior the place.

Don't sneak around
And tryto stab a harmless man Tor spite.
Some people love TO tell you news.
They think it very kind
TO tell you something they think
Will always please your mind.
But if they knew
What other Iolks were thinking,
Perhaps they would see what fools they
were
For trying to be kind.
| We cannot blame some people though,
They cannot help but tattle,
For long ago I heard it said
An empty cart would rattle.

A goodly number of us have gotten
to DO reporters. Well. our talents
run in that line. Some of ns are a lit
tie more larned than others, but
"Guess Who" will follow md correct
all mistakes. 1T is human to err, but
folly to be wise
We all want a free ride on the iron
horse to Fayetteville. We believe in
working our way, and if we can't work
out a first class ride we will 20 on the
COW catcher.
Guess Who" has appointed one Of
our beat boys n "AIasher." My cx.
pcricncc with him is that he is poor

Our Social Circle meets Wednesday
night. What q time we will have.
Then come April. The fools are
writing the fools us hard as we can.
When this bent gets through with
all these trolics you will be glad 10

The weather has trumpcd us. We
have been reading upon tho weather
signs, Herscfils, Hicks, Sc. and oil
have rallied and vegetables killed.
think Uncle Joel could be OF more
service to his community and ours if
he would quit cutting stove wood and
devote more Of his attention to his
weather signs. I am told that no has
a pei sign by which he is entirely gov
crned as to rain which never fails, He
has two weights suspended by u 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-
