East Lynn Letter.

Our school was opened last Monday
by our old teacher Maggie Nehman.
George Perry is in the neighborhood
doing good stroke of business in the
threshing line.
Belle Mickle has gone back to Capac
where she has taken up her course in
the High School. Success Belle.
Mary Campbell has been enjoying
very pleasant visit with her old friend
Anna Mathews of Brockway.
Lillian Williams, of Goodland, after
visiting week or more with the fam
lily of Fritz Seagates, is now spending
few social days with the family of
John Hall. It's altogether likely Arts
home.
a party of young people from Yale
celebrated Tuesday evening ON the
dredge. Some of the boys, we are told,
were quite anxious to mash MAUD ;.
but failed to connect. Attic has the
inside track there boys.

gathering at Henry Cannis in Mussey
Saturday night.
One of our young men went out to
Capac last Saturday night. on business
/ suppose, at any rate it proved to be in
the end. But TO get down to the sub
ject he overlook two of the dredge
boys and gave them ride. Now these
boys take particular pains, even dis
commode themselves, to treat well those
who visit the dredge, this young man
and his people included), but, never
the-less, they ask our boy what the
damage was. Fifty cents" was the
prompt reply. They paid of course
like men. Now we've heard and read
of small men, these "little bits" of fell
lows you know, but little did we dream
that we had one of these little fellows
right in our midst, so small that we
will have to build scaffold for him to
climb onto stone-bOat.
So 'that Saginaw girl is not so green
as she may be cabbage looking" 1Ia.
ha. it is only her greenness that would
lead anyone to think that she anyway
resembles a cabbage. And that lady
found occasion to comb her hair ell ?
Strange this. We are a little inclined
to think that you are quite apt to
measure this particular lady by your
self and think that she only combs her
hair for the benefit of others. You
shouldn't comment on hair combing
but you might reverse the circum-
stances, get into that "black silk
waist" and take birds eye view" at
that Saginaw girl standing before the
dresser for two hours trying to cover
green countenance with little pow
dered chalk, and a cabbage head with
crimps, artificial flowers, cheap pink
ribbon, etc. Now you claim that only
two ''moss backs" were present. If
this be true it's hard telling what name
you would give that fellow who ac-
companied you to Valley Centre where
you attended the Saturday night bow
cry dance and who danced with you
nine times in succession, merely to
keep you from receiving the attention
of some other "gas pipe. If you do
not care hereafter to be treated with
such familiarity as having young men
hint provokingly TO call on you, you
should not, upon the first evening of
your acquaintance, take the liberty of
addressing them by their given name.
This made Will feel as though you had
been acquainted for a long time (more
or less). The fact, however, that you
gave Will encouragement by telling
him that it would be agreeable on your
part If he would visit you Wednesday
night cannot truthfully be contradict
ed. Now, in conclusion, we will say
you gave Will a little advice and ''turn
about is fair play" and in his behalf
will add that when you get tired sing
ing that "Cat" song, you had better
hang up your tongue and give your
head holiday.
