Needmore. Indeed We Do.

OuT eSteeiueu coeeiupois, 1hc
Valley Journal, has a corps of cor
respondents, who certainly take the
cake, the corn cake and maple syr-
up sop. Last week we had two
letters from Tom Allen. One from
Millville states that Tom looked
upon the spot where so years ago
a man was sick. Another from
Maxville details the thrilling Incl
dent of Tom trying to burn brush
heap. This week we have it from
local correspondent that since
Toms visit s'the Journal is finding
its way into many homes" Wheth-
er or not the Journal was lost at the
burning brush heap, and followed
Toms tracks, or of its own volition
and instinct 1t finds its way in the
Maxville mudness, is left to the i'm
aglna lion of the lost Democracy
who didn't find their way at the
late election.
But the Needmore chronicler sets
down on the lIngerer on the lap of
Spring in smothering style. 1t
showed on Friday night. That is
the item of news. Here is how it
is mentioned by ''Needmore."
NeedmOre.
NEEDMoRE, April I5-King winter thought |
he would t. he another view of mans habi- |
tati II before he passed into oblivion. So he |
came last Friday night in full force with his |
rhe farmers were driven from their quiet |
pursuits OF preparing for lheir spring and |
summer crops. TO their flreside haunts TO !
converse with the gentle ones.
This is supplemented by the cold,
matter of fact, prosiac, unpoetic
statements that A. FL. and Simeon
and not the other fellow, as stated
before, visited In Perry county.
Then we are told that "Lemon COM
menced to work." an insinuatlon of
"more previous" idleneess. "Ritt-
gers hired Mowry to labor" not to
play with his toes or go fishing init
de poys.' 'sRittgers will farm
Davis farm this summer and plant
about twelve acres of corn" 1t is
ON this farm that Mowry is hired to
labor. Now if Rittgers will ''farm"
and Mowery will "labor" there is
no doubt they can plant about
twelve acres of corn.
Here are a few more thrilling
events: sJard Fickle is helping
J. IL. Scholl grub "Alfred Rar-
ick and family were at Isaac Will
lams' last Sunday .'The cham
pjon literary society met last Wed
nesday night. They will meet
again In two weeks"
The following is "victory" un-
heard of. 1t was a singular ''con-
test" too: "The Marion township
election was complete democratic
victory. The Republicans had no
men in the contest at all
Here is religious item that de-
mands attention: s'Tne U. u. rad
icals are preparing to build church
at the mouth of Laurel run. They
had grubbing last Saturday to get
a place to build. There were about
twenty five at the grubbing." Now
it would appear to most people that
If the Q. 3. are preparing to build
a church at the mouth of Laurel
run, the "place'' is right there at
the mouth of Laurel run, and they
did not need to grub around to
get the ''place." Is 1t to be infer
ed that the s'place" would have
gone off after Tom Allen if
it hadn't been found by about
twenty FIVE at the grubbing.
But this dew drop of eves-drop-
ping excites our curiosity; "Mattie
Beery was at Needmore last Satur-
day night with her friend, Rosa
Rutgers" Were the girls all alone
by their own selves and on Satur-
day night! What fancies fit with
the ''pale whiteness verifying their
as the correspondent, in
the poetic language of his opening
remarks, thought of 'hrcaide haunts
to converse with gentle ones" !
We are Jealous. We 0needmore.
