stand at one time; so we gave you
rest.
Rev. ]. w. Frierson occupied the
Presbyterian pulpit on last Sunday

We found in q pool OF water near !, US
| Saturday, "what-yOu-call-it." II
looks like a small slender snake, about
IA inches long; it il about the size OF u
| common wrapping twine, anu Is d Ilsht
| brown IN color. If it has eyes, mouth,
ears, or apparatus tor breathing, we are
unable to detect them. 1t IL never
quiet, but is constantly moving, twist
| ing and squirting. Our father tells US
that once upon time, this thing was
hair and grew In the name or tail OF q
horse, but what 1t is now IS q "huckel-
| berry over our 'Simmon."
So the "MOdel Wife, contest IS ended.
| The writer's behaved sensIDly, saiu
some nice things, and, In fact, dld
pretty Well-fOr men, but we thlnk they
ought to hand over the prize to the Wo-
mon, for they came out conquerors IN
| the contest. Look out for a Woman's
tongue, and a woman's pen! Don't SUR
her up! She's dear, jolly little Dody,
| for cream cakes in Alice in Wonder
| land; with u good deal of pepper. The
| women should thank "Ricnard" for let
| ting them off so easily. When he put
out his claws at them, during tne
| "Model Husband" contest, we were ac-
tually "skeered" for I'em (the women,)
and thought he was goiug eat 'em up
| alive, without salt.
Many thanks to Editor Perry for the
| cordial invitation extended US To JOIN
his correspondents i'll their outing last
Saturday. We wanted to go-lntenued
doing so and were sadly disappointed
| when we came forth from sumner lahu
ON that eventful day and saw the un7
| favorable morning; ana, as we are
dreadfully afraid of DaptlzlnB, We
| wouldn't run the risk. We think LOTS
of the Baptists, but are mighty HIGH
| LAND 'tcritter'-We are.
We are OVor-runling our DOunuSi
viii stop, but remain
VERNA VILLIERs.
