The party given at n F. Tobey's was
we'll attended and all report an enjoyable
evening, only j, E. looked quite lonely;we
felt sorry for him after such long drive in
the cold.
We noticed in the Glenwood Herald of
last week an item stating that P. Rathbur
had his house and barn destroyed by fire.
That was a slight mistake Mr.. r. only lost
his house and part of his house hold goods.
Girls what are you doing, allowing your
last week for four years to slip away and
not thinking of farewell. I think a nice
supper gotten up by our ladies would be
very nice and yOn know nothing suits a
gentleman so we'll as something good to eat.
Miss Katie Cavanaugh, who has had
charge of the Porter House, for the past two
months has taken leave of liberty, she will
return to her home in Howard Lake, for
which we are very sorry, for we feel that
,, the place has lost its mainstay.
We overheard conversation this morn
ing in which gentleman exclaimed, who
in the world would bruise Ham up like
that? Now those gentlemen know very
we'll if those men had not been taking a
little too much of Hancock cistern water,
they would not have been so free with their
hands and feet; for no sane man would treat
our old soldier in any such away.
1t makes us tremble and grow faint when
we think of what narrow escape our
friends Mr.. Callahan and daughter had in
the wreck on their way to California we;
believe it occurred near Hollville, Wyo.,
Monday morning Dec. 12, all the coaches
! back of the one the Galatians were in were
thrown from the track, number had theiI
arms and limbs broken and otherwise
/ injured but none were killed.
