The dance last Friday night while not
over crowded, was the cause of the
young people having a tip. top time.
Will Howe has taken his cello down
to Mr. Hallock' 5 and goes down there now

A side hill with a little ice was the
cause of VIII Howe and buggy load of
girls upsetting last Friday night. A
couple of the bows of the buggy top
have gone their reward and couple OF
the girls were crushed little and a
couple Of other beaux of the girls quite
a little, doubtless, when they heard of
the escapade. No bones were broken
and I.uella says she didn't know before
how soft Jennie was.
Joe Marquand has not beer in Adair
territory very frequently of late. 1t
seems it took him long time to get
the girl home Christmas and his moth
er-in-laW stood him on his head over the
dish pan and threatened to souse him
under If he couldn't do better He
agreed we understand, but not until his
cap fell off, and he had to stay around
till sundown waiting for his headgear to
dry. Mayhap this accounts for it.
No, it was not prairie fire that caus-
ed the smoke and blue air that foated
up the draw last Thursday, but load OF
hay upside down that we had hand in,
and if you had been thrown off and
stuck your head on the wheel so that it
made hole in your chin as big as half
bushel measure, and then had the wheel
| turn a time or two with you when you
didn't claim to be a bicycle rider either
you would have swore too.
