Where will you spend the Fourth?
The best looking girl Of Adair was In
Wa-Keeney Monday.
Capt and Mrs. Runyon are enjoying
visit from their mother.
Miss Ella Marquand was visiting Kate
Howe the last of the week.
Robt. Musgrave seemed to enjoy the
speaking on Friday night immensely.
Some kind of political meeting for
the alliance folks at Ogallsh Saturday
next.
We venture to say that G. b. Douglass
has the best looking field of potatoes in
Trego county.
Judge S. J. Osborn addressed the
citizens around here to the number Of
about forty, last Friday evening.
The Eppler-Lombard- Delker Glasby
Company have made their self binder into
new style, unpatented header.
We and our best girl have been asked
to the strawberry and ice cream social at
Ogallah next Saturday evening.
Some are talking of going to Gibbs
grove the Fourth. We opine thst most
of them will be in the harvest field.
D. II. Horton and Jesse Cockrell each
received one vote for chaplain OF the
alliance, and are now trying, unsuccess-
fully, to make the people believe they
didn't vote for themselves.
L. Warne over west of here, bought q
shoat of G. W. Thsyer. They putt in
box and got as far as Alex. Barnes when
they discovered the hog minus. They
afterward found it, however.
An Adair man took butter to Wa
Keeney but failed to SELF at any price, so
bought some lye and brought it back
home to make into soft soap. And yet
business men complain Of dull times.
The school house last Sunday was a
sight to behold. Tobacco guilds and
tobacco stained papers fairly (or foully)
Uttered the floor We are not member
of tie alliance, but don't think it out Of
place to suggest the appointment of a
janitor.
Miss Emma Williams has applied for
the district 81 school, and we are told that
Miss Mary Clark would like to teach the
cherubs of o district east, where Miss
Matte VIM taught last winter. Miss
Matte would rejoice at the chance OF
making ''shootists" of the young idea in
the Hutchinson district.
The attendance at Sunday school last
Sunday was remarkably slim. Every
summer since this school organized, some
older head has taken occasion to lecture
I'VE kids" on the matter of non-atten-
dance. After this exhibition of interest,
shown by members of the senior class, We
think the young folks justified in saying
most anything in reply.
The elections in the alliance made no
material change in the officers, except
minor ones. Joseph Runyon, ]. G..
Barclay and Joshua Musgrave were re-
elected president, secretary and lectu-
rer respectively of the Pleasant Ridge,
and s. T. II. Baird, A. A. Cockrell and
Mr.. Parmenter the same positions in the
Adair. Pleasant Ridge was to have a
special meeting last night, for the purpose
of installing the officers elect, and the
same job will be gone through with at the
Adair alliance the night of the next re-
gular meeting, the 5th pro1imo.
Harvest is full upon US. Brabb, Baird
and q number of others commenced
yesterday. We hope they all won't worl
as hard this summer as some did las
year. Last year one of the young married
men tried to show that he was no Longer
boy, but could do mans work, 30 JUS
about killed himself. He was pitching IL
the field to be hauled direct to the thresh
er. He showed up in good form all day
and thought when he got homo real late a
night that he d fool his wife and hired mar
too So he volunteered to help Charlie
picket the horses. Charlie had to go [
little further with his horse and when b
came back he didn'tsee the afore mention
ed v m. m. anywhere and naturally con
cluded be was at the house. He went II
but his employer was not there. III
supposedhe would be in soon and sa
down to wait. Hslt an hour passed anC
the young husband had made no appear
ance, SO, ss Ella was becoming uneasy
Charlie said he'd see If he could look hin
up. he found him fast asleep at The
picket pin, where he had sat down to wal
for the hired man. Over-taxed nature
had asserted itself.
