Col" Chaffee received Christ
mas present, strange as it may seem,
in the shape of a bag of candy, and
yer siuce, he has walked with more
upright step than eyer. Usually it
is gall and wormwood that is thrust
upon him. He is free to admit,
though, that he is not going to get
so far above earth that the next "call''
is going to let him drop so far as to
produce permanent injury. There is
no necessity for it. The candy was
of a prime quality. The donors were
a little better. Come again. 1t helps
the children out.
While driving into town Monday
morning from Elmore, Hiram Cook s
team became uumanageable, near
the Academy, and started on a run
down Main street. The wagon soon
came in collision with a telephone
pole and one wheel went to pieces,
throwing Mr.. Cook and hired man
out. The former held on TO the lines
and the latter became tangled up in
them in such manner that he was
dragged along too. When the team
reached the town hall it turned into
W. W. Jackson's yard and came to
a stand still. Mr.. Cook received a
bad cash over the right eye, which
was dressed by DR.. Rublee. The
wagon is about q total wreck.
