Rev. Otto Pfaafe, pastor of the
Lutheran church at Pilot Knob, met
with quite an accident Sunday before
last. He was driving from Pilot Knob
to Middlebrook, when his horse took
fright and threw him out of the buggy,
rendering him senseless. The animal
proceeded on its way to Middlebrook;
the absence of the driver was noticed,
and a search was instituted. Mr..
Pfaafe was discovered lying near the
road still unconscious. An examina-
ton revealed several broken fingers
and bruises on the head and body.
The injured man was taken home and
is now getting along very we'll.
Monday morning on opening this Of
fee, our Janitor discovered in the let
ter box large square envelope, of
delicate tint and fragrantly scented,
bearing this inscription ''to the Edi-
tor" 1t was placed ON our desk and
was the first object that..met the editors
view on coming in the sactum an hour
later. The size of the envelope, the
lovely tint and fragrance made COM
binatlOn somewhat out of the usual for
a country print shop, and the inscrip-
ton in characters even and graceful,
gave evidence of feminine dainty care
and touch. The item contained
large sheet of white paper, same quail
ity, tint and fragrance as the envelope,
with the following therein written: 81
am waiting for letter that will en-
tighten me on the delicious, delightful,
all charming subject of love! M. c."
That was all; some poor soul longing
for the letter that never came; heart
bowed down in grief, that in its an
guish appeals to the light and power of
the press for relief! Won't some of
our young gallants come to the rescue |
with missive on the old, old story |
that will prove a balm to this wounded, |
heart: Well cheerfully give
the effusion space in our columns. |
Who's first?
