FROM BLODGETT.

lnOSe VINO ike 10 tread the ether
cal mazes of the dance had glorious
opportunity to enjoy their proclivi
ties at the home of J. N. Harrison,
four miles south of town last Tues
day night. Our townspeople all
turned out in full force, and report a
most excellent time, for which they
return thanks to Miss Florence Pigg.
BBJust think of it! You can buy
Singer Sewing Machine, Z drawers,
for only SIS, at Tenkhoff S. When
you buy from an agent on time, you
pay $55. See?
Mrs. E. H. Smith and Miss Luta
Gray, of Benton, made a shopping
expedition to Blodgett last Monday.
The flying corps of the Ladies Aid,
of Blodgett, made trip to Benton
last Wednesday, that being the regu-
lar lodge day in this fraternal asso-
citation, and the trip was made in
regular order to hold the regular
meeting at the home of Mrs. r. L.
Stubblefield, who is member of this
great and growing beneficial order.
The ladies who went were Mesdames
R. ]. Watkins, Peal, Hutchinson,
and Pigg, and Misses Lessie and
Pearl Peal.
Conductor Jack Green, of Glen
Allen, was here Tuesday looking
after his large landed interests.
DR.. r. A. Sparks is in St. Louis

~Go buy the Blount Cultivator

your corn. Cheap for cash That is
the way Tenkhoff does business.
In English the latin words RES
Taurus" mean ''bully things - That
must be where we get our word
''restaurant, where we may get
bully things like bologna, cheese,
weiners, pretzels and beer. See?
Col. George Davis, who has for
several days past been confined to
his bed by bilious fever, is better at
present.
Thomas p. Diggs, travelling agent
for the Globe Democrat, got off the
south bound cannon ball at Blodgett
last Friday. He was under the i'm
preston, from what he had heard of
Blodgett and her git up and git
crowd of delegates, that there must
be at least fifteen hundred people
here. Thus does a town establish
her population when represented in
the columns of metropolitan pub
lication like the Newsboy. Every
town should be represented. Come
early and avoid the rush for space.
Lightning struck the house of J
W. Cope, five miles below Blodgett
Sunday night, and severely injured
two of his little boys-one of whom
seems to have inhaled or swallowed
some of the electric fluid, as tn,
muscles of his throat appear to b'
temporarily paralyzed. If there is
parallel case on record we hav
never heard of it. Anyway, tn
little fellow had a very narrow es
cape.
In 1894 our fortunes were cast TO
a few weeks in Perry county, ant
during that time there was bi,
party in the country near there, t.
which we went. Learning that the
Perryyille Republican was not repre-
sented at the dance we took down
a few items and handed them in t
, Cashion. They ran as follows, (eS
cepting names), Miss Sallie Nc
Snaughton was rigged out as prett.
; as red and green wagon with tw'
. spring seats, and made more mashe'
than a few. She wore a blue dres
with red flaps on the side, trimme'
with tabasco sauce and puffy sans
pariel ON the flounce. Miss Gwer
dolen CARLY had on an en- train ri
and knocked Miss Lsngtry out bad i
the matter of good looks. She wor
! her hair en- cure and her face en- pow
n der, and her teeth en- false. Mis-
