There is nothing SO remarkable
about the story, except that it was the

A Good Time to Marry.

A Good Time to Marry.
Now, in regards to news-the main.
est thing that has come to pass in the
Rocky Creek settlement durin last
week took place over at the Wilder Cas-
tleberry's on Sunday evenin.
The C%astleberrys are mighty good
people for common, but the old lady
nevr was smart enough to u for con.
gress, and here of late the Crazy Sloan
has been right seriously threatened
with her gentle presence.
Miss Sukey and Miss Nan are now
the onlyest children left to Misses Cas-
tleberry, and you mought put both OF
them on your old maid string. But
they still have a right smart company
over at the C~astleberry place-par-
ticlar on Sundays-and there wal a big
crowd Of young men there to see the
girls last Sunday evenin.
The young people had took their
seats and set down in the company
room-courtin and carryin on and hav-
in a good time-when bless goodness
the old lady switched in, dressed to kill
and primped clean out of sight. It is
n of Misses Castleberry's crazy no.
tions, you understand, that she must
fix up and go out into the company
room every time young men call to see
the girls. And whilst the girls have
done their level blamdest to learn her
better, she is old and heady and dead
sot in her ways.
At any rates, she switched out
amongst the young people that Sunday
evenin, and then presently they had
the %gonebyest most terriblest confu.
sionment and scatteration goin on
around there you ever heard tell Of
perhaps.
II was jest tellin sukey and Nan this
mornin," broke in the old lady all of a
sudden, shat nov was a mighty good
time for them to pitch in and git mar
ried, as we have jest killed hogs and
got a new barrel of four"
From what the boys telsane, the old
lady busted the meetin wide open right
then and there. Miss Nan she run
screamin out of the room, whilst Miss
Sukey she tainted and fell over in it.
After that the onlyest thing left for the
youngsters to do was to hunt the horse
rack and return back home. So they
rid off and left the wilder and the girls
alone in their troubles.
