La Blanche Items,
From Our Correspondent
Our rain trough has again been in
three rains and caught two inches; and
Is catching another. We can't wait on
the evening Of the 18th inst.
Timely warning: Keep the cattle
on the green fields OF weeds or last
years history viii repeat itself.

In a week.

new grass from Russia called the

Swan Strand carried the impression
Of George Hamlen's dogs teeth On the
seat Of his pants land then sOme) to
Sunday school last Sunday. Swan says
the dog is a "catCh on and hold fast
and warns al the bachelors to stay
away from there through dog days and
harvest, or have their breeches we'll
boxed up on the hindermost part Of a
cart seat.
The Breeze advised @Your Uncle
Fuller" ito raise his glasses a little
higher and look a little closer" last
week. We did so, and found "news as
scarce as hens teeth" We also found
three Of our paragraphs therein word
for word. Guess Uncle Fuller will have
to get his items copyrighted each week.
We visited the Pleasant Valley Sab
bath school Sunday and it could be
nothing less than a success for the
Revs. Peterson, Sprague and Dixon are
members. Mr.. Peterson is superin-
tendent and Mr.. BTetz, who is also well
posted on scripture, teaches the mems
class. There were 50 present.
The breaking pillow has again started
up.
"ROust About" stated last week in
the Breeze shat their chronic critic
said il they couldn't write better items
than 'ROust About they would quit,
and did quit" Now it seems most
everybody thinks the Breeze is blow
ing what they have said, and have
called on Your Uncle Fuller, whose
table doesn't rock, whose lamp is we'll
filed with oil and f1ickers not, whose
brain is clear, heart brave and hand
steady and insist on him taking the
matter up in their behalf. Now we will
clear the matter up by roasting the fell
low that writes the Breeze if you will
only point him out first.
Rev. Peterson, Clarence Allen, Your
Uncle Fuller and their families took
dinner at George Hamlen's Sunday and
from there in company with Mr.. Ham
lens family all moved on to Grandma
Babb's where ice cream and cake was
served TO 80 guests, in memory Of the
good old lady's birthday. The immen-
Sc crop prospects made all the old set
tiers cheerful to an overflow. The past
was reviewed and the future reckOned
into until nearly night. It is sufficient
to say it was good to be there.
We wonder if our MuldroW CORE
spOndent doesn't find that selfshness
be referred to last spring giving way
over there, too. Now is the time to
organize an old settlers meeting. VIII at
think you?
