MIDDLETON MELANGE.

Dan Masterson's two six horse teams
got as far as Charley Hartley's Satur-
day night. They will roll into Cald-
we'll Monday.
The young folks of Middleton had a
little dance Saturday night. Not very
well attended; too much work for the
boys day and night.
There is talk of lumber yard being
started here by man from Dry Buck.
If he does, it will have tendency to
bring down the price of lumber. In
that case some of our farmers will put
new fences around their homes.
"There are many flowers doomed to
blush unseen and spend their sweet
ness on the desert all" and such is the
case with many of our old bachelors.
Even the gray widows pass them by
and take up with the young folks.
Pete Meth had picture of his house
taken with his family in the fore
ground this morning. Rollo put in an
appearance but too late to get his little
yellow wagon in the picture. Duke,
his big fine dog, got there in fine shape.
The Alchenberger's had a picture
taken of their place, with the whole
family in the fore ground. 1t is a fore
gone conclusion that it is fine picture
for they have a fine place. In fact,
every place around here looks fine at
this time of the year.
1t seems that Mr.. Rollo, the scottish
chief, has run all the tree men from
this section of country. At least, we
don't see any of them around. Won
der what is the reason? 1t must be
his superior rustling qualities combin.
ed with the superior grade of trees; or,
is it his extreme beauty, Which?
Rollo traded some of his extra
trees for calf and was so ashamed of
the trade and calf that he would not
drive it through town in the day time,
so he undertook to take it through
town in the night. The calf broke away
from him and they had a regular
monkey and parrot kind of a time
with the calf in the lead.
Was up to the dam at the head of
the Hartley ditch to see the washout.
1t is IS feet wide. They have hauled
81 loads of rock and the break is not
more than half repaired. They are
making good and permanent piece of
work of it this time. The base is about
eight feet wide. j. B. Smith and Jas.
Hartley are building the dam.
Mr.. Stark, the jeweler from Caldwell,
has great eye for beauty. He is fix
ing up his little place so it will be a
joy and rest to his weary soul to come
out here every evening after his con-
| finement at the bench. He will have
one of the prettiest places in the county
| in short time. It is pleasure and
profit to fix up your own place; differ
ent with rented one.
Miss Lima Robinson, one of Middle.
tons bright young ladies, (the one who
rendered the Delights of a Farmers
Life" so well at the entertainment
given by the Middleton Singing Class
will give an invitation party to all bel
school fellows. We know it will be
we'll attended. We wish all the young
folks very pleasant time, and Miss
Lima many happy returns OF this, bel
birth day.
l like the spirit of the young folks Of
Middleton. Although their singing
teacher has left. they still keep up theil
practice in music. They need leader
who is posted in music, one who ha:
the true spirit of progress and TIN
Silence of music at heart and can lea(
them to a higher plane than thei
former teacher was capable of. Their
is some of the best material in thi
community for first class choir that
have heard in the county, not except
ing Caldwell. Let them look arount
and find the one capable of leading ant
directing them to higher standard II
the Silence of music one of the chic
pleasures in life, and when found, fol
low his instructions implicitly.
