Jas. Smiley tells good joke on him
self shooting a deer. He saw the deer
coming, and figured up how much he
would bring in the St. Louis market
On came the deer until he was right

never touched hair. Then, when he

w. A. Simpson has been construct
ing a new fence around his premises,
which adds to the appearance of the
place wonderfully.
A veteran tramp passed down the
road Friday, making the seventh trip
in about four years. He goes down
this road and up the Frisco. He says
he can find no place where the people

be obtained the guilty parties will be
prosecuted to the full extent of the law,
without fear or favor. These boys all
have respectable parents whom we
would be grieved to see in trouble. but
this rowdyism has been going on too
long already. and hereafter any dis

no pains will be spared to ferret out the
guilty parties. So, boys will do we'll
to take warning. for in the future the
very best of order will be required.
The entertainment Friday night was
we'll gotten up, and il a little more
time had been taken to practice it
would have been hard to beat. In the
play, entitled, "Too Much of a Good
Thing" Jas. Harris played the part of
Country Cousin to perfection. Mrs.
