raised crop.
Harvest would probably have begun
the last of this week. but the rain may
put it of a little.

Mr.. Musgrave has had bad luck in
boring that well. The bit of the drill
broke in the rock which was reached at
thirty feet or less. 1t will require work
to chop up that piece of hard steel.
Bets were offered in Ellis, Saturday, by
two different men that certain piece of

thresh and pat in the measure for all

make.
Will Howe straddled a wild gray
broncho that had only been domest1cated
ten years. The animal objected to being

shape for him to make a mash on most
any of the girls.
Hosts people from the south we're up
to preaching Sunday. This is the last
time we intend to mention it. We try to
publish news and this is getting so COM
mon aGnot to warrant comment. Keep
on coming. We don't care what You call
it, Sunday school debating society, pic
mic or tea party. Come anyway.
We are vain. We believe we can some
way, by fair means or bribery, get the
most of the happenings of this locality
So you might as well try to fly as to try
to keep it from us. 1t happened the Fri
day night that Eppler didn't have his
dance. Emma's William and Williams
Emma started for the dance on a cart
manufactured and designed for the con-
veyance of single Individuals. They got
lost, ran off an embankment, broke the
wheel on the girls side beyond hopes of
redemption. Both got dumped off, and
Emma's Billy had to engage passage by
''Walker's" express to get Billy's Emma
heme.
