Miss Pearl Owen is visiting with
Mrs. James Owen.
One day last week, in order to satisfy
his hunger, Cliff Pacey ate basketful
of green peaches. He washed it down
with three glasses Of lemonade, two
bottles of root beer and thirteen cups
of ice water. For the past several days
he has felt indisposed. The hot
weather does not agree with him.
Mrs. Maggie Mccormick and son, of
Rayenswood, H., are stopping with
her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Sears.
We arise in protest. 1t isn't fair.
We are willing that our neighbors
should grow, but when they try to
cheat and crowd in two at time, like
they did at Camp Lake, It is time to
have a new deal. A week ago Sunday
the neat summer cottage of j. w.
Lichtenberg was enlivened by the lusty
yelling of a new born pair of twins, and
last Sunday VIM. Schultz had his hair
cut and made other external improve
ments as fitted the social standing of
the father of a pair of twins.
An entertainment was given Thurs
day evening at M. W. A. hall by the
teachers attending the teachers insti-
tute under the direction of Superin-
tendent Maloney. Everything went off
smoothly. Each part was enthusi-
astically applauded by the large audi
ence present and an encore was given
wherever it was possible. Prof. Crit
fifth made hit in a rehearsal of school
boy errors, and among the favorites
were Profs. Trenary and Debray and
Misses Mabel Lampe and Lille Darby.
VIM. Sears was overcome by the heat
Tuesday, which combined with other
ailments, has kept him in the doctors
care ever since.
1t was a COW with a kitteniSh dis
position and a feverish pulse that the
butcher took over to the slaughter
house Monday afternoon. 1t was easy
to tell by the cows actions that its dis
position was kittenish, and while no
one has as yet felt of its pulse, an eX-
animation would doubtless have shown
a swift rate of action. The COW vault
ed a six-foot high board fence, leaped
across wide ditch, craWled under a
barb wire fence. tramped down 74l
hills of yellow dent corn, besides start
ing the perspiration from every pore Of
the three men who were chasing it and
furnishing a strictly high grade amuse-
ment to all the inhabitants in the
vicinity. 1t is still at large.
A "dime museum" entertainment
was given Wednesday evening at
N. w A. hall under the auspices OF
the Ladies' Aid society. 4 heavy gale
in the early part of the evening pre-
vented the attendance from being
large, although it exceeded eXpecta
tons. An ice cream sociable was held
Immediately following the entertain
ment.
The Ladies' Aid society met Friday
with Mrs. N. q. Tyrrell.
The teachers institute closed Friday
afternoon after an interesting session OF
one week. The weather during the
week was excessively sultry. Notwith-
standing this, the interest taken in the
work was up to the usual standard, the
inevitable agents" were as numerous
and as persistent as ever, and school
ma'ams we're as plentiful as strawber-
rles in May. The conductors were
Profs. Shuts, Beck and TrenarY, but
Prof. Griffith was on hand and kindly
loaned the store Of knowledge and ex-
perences possessed by him for the
benefit of education. Much credit is
due Supt. j. B. Maloney for the success
of the meeting.
