pleasantly serenaded by the E. G
Moore family, of Denver Colo, last
Wednesday evening. They have been
visiting at the Carver home, Mrs.

departed yesterday for Waterloo.
Without doubt the fastest ride
on bicycle from Calmar to DEBORAH,
was that made Sunday by Melvin
johnson, son of Peter Johnson, and
whom we believe has the honor of
holding the belt. The time made was
exactly thirty-five minutes. Other
riders have covered the distance in
thirty-eight and forty minutes, Melvin
lettering the lowest record made by
three minutes.
Some time ago West DEBORAH girl
told her young lover that she would
never marry him until he was worth
100000. So he started out with a
brave heart to make it. "How are you
getting on George" she asked at the
expiration of couple of months.
"Well," said George. hopefully, 81
have saved up 500. The girl dropped
her eyelashes and blushingly remark

George
"A woman advertises for a husband
in a newspaper in Japan. She thus
describes herself and what she wants:
Gam beautiful woman with cloud
like hair, flowery face, willow-like
waist and crescent eyebrows. I have
enough property to WALL through life
hand-in-hand, gazing at flowers in the
day and moon at night. If there is a
gentleman who is clever, learned,
handsome, and of good taste, 1 will
join with him for life and share the
pleasure of being buried in the same
grave"
In a business letter from the cele-
bration committe at West Union, the
following compliment is paid the De-

An exchange reports that it re-
ceived' the following communication
from one of its patrons: "Send me a
few copies of the paper which had the
obituary and verses about the death
of my child month or two ago.

that have few extra calves to sell at
public auction. Send me few copies
of the paper this week; but as my time
is out you may stop my paper as times
are too hard to waste money on a
newspaper"
1t was the evening after Bakers
great game, and his team had been
ground into the dust on the diamond.
The victorious twirler sat on the sofa
with his sweetheart. "Play nearer
your base, darling" she murmured
coyly; he drew her to him with an en-
ticiug out-curve. land who shall UNI
pire our nuptials," taking kiss and
bold effort to steal the second.

they fastened their faces together in
one lucious two-bagger. Then he tele-
