at Houstonville.

kid" Carnahan distinguished himself
as usual by falling all over the road. In
endeavoring to save his wheel in one of
his numerous falls he almost went into
the river, but one of the Lieutenants
grabbed him by the leg as he was rolling
down the levee, and saved him from a
slickens bath. He declares it was the
first time anyone ever pulled his leg.
Funny" Brown was in his glory, and
in endeavoring to run everyone Oft the
road he collided with barbed-wire fence
and left considerable of his cuticle (and
his pants clinging thereto.
Pop" Wright behaved himself and
kept his distance from the Kid" who
was always getting into trouble.
First Lieutenant Harlow acted as Cap
tain, and set very comfortable pace,
keeping the men is as good order as pos
sible under the circumstances.
Bloomer Mcdonald, with his new suit,
took the eyes OF all the country damsels,
and was relating his experience with the
gentler sex all the way down the road
"Chief Consul" Ripley was also a mem

run OF the season..
The start was made from kimball d

! the Captain soon settled down to steady
| gait against the strong south wind. The
| first stop was made at treeport, near
| where dedication services We're going on
across the river amid the firing of bombs
and music from the band. A short rest
was made at BryanPs, where all hands
were invited TO take water and cherries as

on the river as an extra appetizer for the

"A little of both. with plenty OF chicken

Yes, but make it as long as possible"
And then. "Black coffee?" and then,

After registering in the warehouse the
party divided and returned at intervals;
DeMerritt Brown. Wright, Gilbert and

shortly aiterward by Carnahan and Nc

They found the road clear all the way to

the fruit-growers along the river for their

in all fruit sections OF the State, and say
they will surely be with them again in

Soap and Water.

Eds. RECORD UNION: While some peo-
pie are talking about the hardness of the
well water. and that it will not wash"
without ever SO much soap, want to
call attention to something no one has
said anything about. The housewives
who want the household linen clean and
free from grit and mud-color, settle the
river water with alum. As every house,
wife knows, that hardens the water, and
makes it necessary to use more soap, a
deal more than is necessary with we'll
water. So that this thing about river and
well water is as broad as it is long. River
water is soft, but it cannot be used to
wash white goods, or any other if one is
conscientious about cleanliness, without
being artificially hardened. For very
many people bath in unsettled river
water is a sort of mud bath and very re-
pulsive. But we cannot we'll use alum
for bath water, so we have to put up with
a fluid usually that is so murky one can
not see the bottom of the tub through it.
