We think our marshal is just lit
tie unfair The Saturday morning
following the heavy snow fell, he
came up and told us to clean off our
side walks or he would and, charge it
up TO us. He wanted them cleaned
off because they were on prominent
street. Now there are other places
in town just as prominent where the
snow is still lying and will continue
to lie till the sun melts it off. Don't
you think you were unfair Doe?
Blackwell Times Record: Col. Bean
was on the street today exhibiting a
chunk OF natural gas he brought back
with him from lola, Kansas. Bill says
he is a stakeholder Of a syndicate or
ganized at lola, to furnish this gas in
compressed form to TOWNSHIP boomers
and fruit tree agents. 1t is warrant
ed to cure bashfulness in its most
chronic stage, and the syndicate il
now preparing to publish the portrait
of Col. Knapp as one of the marvel
lous cures in this line.

The way to mans heart is through
his stomach. We know 1t is. Last
Monday while We local was gloomily
perusiBg some of the exchanges a
beautiful, bright faced little girl ap-
peared at the door and said. Mama
said she promised to send you some
doughnuts the next time she made
sOme," and then disappeared as quick
" as she had come leaving a large
sack full of the most delicious dough-
nuts one ever set his teeth into, and
it made our heart glad. Thank you
Mrs. Squier, we had feast.
J. w. Johnson came into our sane
tum one day last week and told US
that he had been, or soon would be
"Hoke Smithed." He has been nOti-
fed to furnish additional evidence en-
titling him to a pension or it would be
reduced from twelve to eight dollars
month. Mr.. f w. Deleplain has
also received the same piece of good
news, so have several others that we
might name. What if they do furnish
additional evidence? 1t is more than
likely that their pension will be cut
off anyway. Hoke Smith and his
gang have only got two more years
and they had better improve every
opportunity, for when their time is up
they will be showed under an ever
lasting snow and will be heard of no
more forever. Amen.
OF all the gay, happy, del ghtful
social events among the young people
none eclipses in brilliancy the "hOuse'
warming" party given at the beauti-
full home of Mr.. and Mrs. L2te l..
Northrup. Cards, music and dane
ing were participated in by each guest
and among the noticeable and enjoy
able features of the evening was the
drawing school. Delightful refresh
ments were in abundance, among the
amusing things being neat gold ring
that was hidden in one of the sand
witches which were neatly done up in
tissue paper and tied with bow OF
small ribbon. Miss Susie Golf got the
ring. The evening taken as whole
was the most delightful of the season.
