IT is reported that the construe- tion of the Kansas City, Pittsburg and Gulf railroad, which is now in rapid progress, will be completed between it's two termini early in April. This report brings to mind the fact that little importance ap- pears to be attached in this section of the State to the consummation of this great enterprise. Yet it is really matter of great importance to us who dwell within ear-shot of Missis- sippi steam boat ssrsEh " his ties and under the ban of the Gould railway system.

TT MAKES A GOOD STORY.
"A Certain Well to Do Citizen Gets Into
Trouble Feigning Drunkenness.

A good story is current which re-
lates the disastrous results Of an at
tempt on the part of a certain we'll to do
citizen to teign drunkenness. Said
gentleman was called down town on
business just as evening fell and when
about to return conceived the idea of
frightening his beloved spouse by as
suming the guse of drunken loafer.
In the meanwhile the unsuspecting
wife had sought to beguile the lonesome
hours of his absence in the company of
a neighbor. When the would be
"sport" approached his domicile he
beheld the fair partner of his ills on the
veranda of an adjoining house. Pull
ing his SLOUGH hat over his eyes he
reeled up the front walk toward the
merry group of ladies. At the first
sight Of the impending danger one of
the ladies fell over in dead swoon. A
messenger was summoned and sent
post haste for the man Of the house
with the information that his wife had
tainted and was in critical condition.
In the excitement of the occasion the
messenger misunderstood the name of
the desired party and set out in des-
perate search for quite another indi-
vidual, whom he at last found and pos
sessed of the alarming news. By this
time, however, the joker had made
himself known and all was quiet. When
the man who had been sent for arrived
very late in the evening he knew moth
ing whatever Of the affair. The other
fellow meekly suffered the Unkind re-
proYal of having taken one too many.

RANNEY.

Your correspondents absence for
several days was the cause for no letter
last week. But it was no pleasure
that took him away The death at
Aurora, H., of his father was the sad
event that summoned him to the old

Mr.. and Mrs Sands Hart from Ra-

A certain Ranneyite owned field of
pop corn about two rods square upon
which he based his hopes Of future
riches. 1t is said he intended taking
the crop to the gold region of Alaska
and start a pop corn stand, but he
doesn't own it now and his bright
dreams have all vanished. A near by
neighbours cow while out foraging one
night, discovered the corn in an evil
moment and she didn't do thing to it
but eat it. The former owner doesn't
wish any harm to the COW, but he
can't help wondering what the result
would have been if that corn had all
popped.

ing hotter September weather than the
oldest inhabitant has any remembrance
Of.
The meloncolc days have come,
the gladdest of the year, These may
not be the exact words Of the poet, yet
they answer the purpose. 1t is whis-
pered there are several fine watermelon
patches not far away in secluded hooks
among the corn fields; but ask farm
er if he has any watermelons and he
will probably say "nary a melon"
The fate of Ananias and Sapphire has
no terrors for some people.
This is the time of year when the
cabbage, the onion and various other
of natures products are thrown to-
gether Unfortunately and christened
with all kinds of jaw breaking names.
By the way, in making these COM
pounds it is said no other vegetable
can ketchup with the tomato. How
nice it will be next winter when COM
pany comes to stay week and stays
three, to have plenty of this "hot
stuff" 1t may stimulate their enthu-
siasm SO they will stay the balance of
the month and not go home mad.

A Novelty.

Ye editor had something at lunch
today which was novelty TO him and
probably to most of our readers. 1t
was a yellow watermelon, which Mrs.
Bee Holmes kindly left at our sanctum.
The seed was sent from Pennsylvania,
and the melons are bright yellow on
the outside, otherwise it is just the
same as any melon. It was very sweet,
and the sweetness extended through
the eatable or red part of the melon,
clear up to the rind. Mrs. Holmes
raised but six of this species this sum-
mer and was very kind in remember
ing the editor.
