Green peas.
And other garden stuff.
The dogs are having an epidemic OF
distemper.
Will. Clark has purchased new gang
plow.
T. 8. Howe has bought a new McCor-
mick self binder.
A mare belonging to Chris. Hook died
Sunday morning.
Sam. Baird was to 60 to Hays City on
Monday after header.
Miss Mary Clark is attending private
school in Ellis.
Two men from the west are to help this
community harvest.
The Fourth of July will be celebrated
in the usual way.
L. q. Matte has gone east for his health.
He wrote this and skipped.
II. M. Hallock had niece visiting him
part Of last week. She was from
Larned.
Cyrus and Hlva Harris have gone to
Rice county for harvest and threshing
work.
Our farmers made combination last
Saturday and bought nearly ton of
binding twine.
Hiram Griffith is to run a header for
d. S. Clotdfelter, of Ellis. Hiram is an
expert at this business.
The interest in the Sunday school
seemed for while to have abated, but
we are pleased to note an improvement.
It is claimed that the worm in some of
the wheat has got to the head and the
harvest has been thereby hastened.
Will. Webster, w. A. Eppler, Jos. Run
yon, A. s. Hughes, Joshua Musgrave,
Sam. Baird, and one or two others were
disappointed in getting the self binding
harvesters they had ordered.
Sam Bradley is to work up here for two
or three weeks with pitch fork. Who
ever works with him are apt to enjoy
themselves.
Ii we were regular correspondent we
would have mentioned two weeks ago
that Chester Mason was back from Can
on City, where he has been the past win
ter.
Lue Howe has contracted to work for
Sam. Baird during harvest. 1t may be
that Mrs. Baird's cook-that is to be-
had something to do with deciding him
to accept this engagement.
1t was rumored that F. P. Clark had
bought an interest in header. We guess
the old dame was mistaken for once, al
though it was credited because "Doc" is
an old hand and this would have given
him another opportunity to ''straddle the |
rudder." Experts assure us that
this is no sinecure but it would prob |
ably have been as pleasant for him as it
was last year to have Sam. Bradley shove |
thistles up his pants leg.
Tom. Robbins sports a new covered |
carriage and the smile on Mary Clark's |
face has to be seen to be appreciated |
We crawled on behind that rig the other |
day and listened. "If I were man."
Mary was saying, II would have applied |
for the job that Hiram has. But then,"
she added refectively, eff / were a man I |
would have no such reason for wishing |
it." Just then Tommy let his enthusiasm
get the better of him, and exclaimed: |
mo thank goodness, you are not a man. |
You are still miss, but you wont be |
long. Not if can help it, Mrs. Manly"
Then there was some kind of pop sound
that made the horse jump and we fell off.
On the banks of the creek by John P.
Marquand's there grows willow tree.
From what we can learn, the branches of
this are favorite resort of the daughter
of the house when she is in reflective
mood and cares to think of-no mat |
ter what. 1t is but natural then, that
when the girls call on her they should go
down to the willow. Two weeks ago
Sunday this was the case. But one of |
the girls, who we will call Eittam, be-
cause that is not her name (unless you
spell it backwards) got too far out on the |
limb, for when she heard the boys coming |
she tried to leap to the shore, but alas!
She miscalculated the distance and went
down, down, down until her head was all |
that was not submerged. The boys
heard the shrieks and rushed to the
scene. In less time than it takes to
write it, Wes. had uttered an agonized
groan. threw off his hat and jumped to
the rescue, kicking off his congress shoes
as he went. In another moment he had |
landed the dripping young woman on
terra firma, amidst the plaudits of the
assembled, terror-stricken multitude. It |
was deed of heroism and the young girl |
shonld reward the young man, by giving
him the life he so unhesitatingly imperiled |
his own to save. We stand ready to write |
the notice.
