James Burgess and Miss Florence Liv-

rendered asunder and the feminine por-
ton Of them tied to another man, who
now sleeps the sleep that knows no
waking at least in this lower world. The
Squire has had more experience and
may be he's fixed 'em up so they'll stay
this time.
Many thanks TO my good friends, Bran
denburg and Preston for their kind ex-
pressions several weeks ago, also to the |
many who have expressed themselves |
OF course they all know that |
l don't say just the right thing every |
time. The atmosphere of the latitude"
in which abound" seems to inspire |
me with spirit OF drollery that is, at
times, uncomfortable. think Peck's |
bad boy must have lived in just such an

A young lady in THE county, but a
short distance from here, has been cor
with a young man in Ten

q climax a few days ago when she re-
ceived a letter that he had indited TO a
gentleman friend in Texas, in which he
stated that he was corresponding with
girl, who thought she was pat
ting a monkey on the head, but she
would find out differently in the sweet
by and by. 1t seems he had written to
her and his Texas friend at the same
sitting" and made a mistake, putting
the letter that he had intended for her
perusal in the envelope he had ad-
dressed to his Texas friend, and vice
versa. She ought TO have written him
IN returning his litter that she did make
a slight mistake, that she played him for
a chimpanzee and he turned out TO be a
babboon. believe she ought to have
sent his letter and her answer h the
Texas fellow and sot up case with him.
