Ed Fitzgerald, the genial boniface
of Martinsdale, was last week
brought to M%artinsdale, he having
been taken seriously ill while on II
business trip through the Musspl-
shell. A member OF the Red Cross
pulled him around into shape again,
and in n few days he returned to his
home. Fitz will never get credit for
being as hard hit as he was, for no
matter what he il called upon to ell
dure in the way uf suffering, there is
nothing seems to lessen the eXuber-
ance Of his e~mbonpuint.
Ed Beach is about through with
his planting. having Just finished put

plants. Ii Ed has anything good he

his lady friends To come down and
eat Strawberries when they get ripe.
We are all praying that the crop will
not be n failure and the guests be
compelled to fill their aching void
with turnips.
Sam Lutz is as busy as a hen with
one chicken rushing in his crop. If
the prayers Of all OF Sans friends for
a successful crGp are answered, there
won't be sacks enough in the valley
to hold his grain.
At a meeting OF the citizens, held

to celebrate the Fourth OF July in a

croquet and lawn tennis tourna-

things to eat. The refreshments are
to be a feature OF the day and will
prove to the hungry a dream Of de-
light. The dancing will follow the
dessert, and, ii you like, will keep up
for a week. There was a strong
movement in favor of inviting Buff
