The gentle zephyrs tried them
selves last Saturday to see how
clean they could sweep the streets
of the city, and also removing old
barrels, boxes, etc. from their
resting places and introduced
them into merry race across
the prairie.
Last Saturday night was the
coolest night so far this fall, it
registering ID degrees.
Mr.. and Mrs. Homer Round
tree drove out on the west side
Sunday to see how his cattle were
doing.
From the looks of one of our
young gentlemen some days past
we would want to guess that there
is something in the city in the
barber line, and we are inclined
to think it lady barber from
the frizzes and curls that adorn-
ed his manly brow.
Linn Frazier and family re-
turned home last Thursday af-
ter an extended visit of eight or
nine weeks. They visited in
Kansas City and St. Louis, Ohio
and Indiana. Inns mother ac-
companied them back and in
tends staying with them this
winter. Linn reports having
killed 43 squirrls while on his
trip. Their health being none
too good in the east they were
glad to get to their home in
Meade county again where plenty
of water and fresh air abound.
w. E. Green moved 10 head
of cows and calves to the Mullen
place last week and has been
busy the past few days building
corrals and making wind brake.
Frank Nett took his departure
for Liberal on horseback early
Sunday morning.
II. V. Pinnick lost a fine calf
last week from black leg. We
would advise neighbor Pinnick
not to feed so heavy for fear of
losing more.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hugh Tough
visited at Mr.. Burford's Sunday.
Ebert Frazier and the school
marin took an extended buggy
ride in the city delivery out to
Mr.. Bunyan's one night last week
returning at an hour that was
not so early, but both were at
school in time the next morning.
The repairing of the M. E..
Church was begun Tuesday and
they expect before the week is
over to have it finished in good
shape ready for winter.
George Fowler and wife have
moved down to Mr.. Krisle,s and
George is going to run the ranch
this winter. He has been quite
busy the past few weeks build
ing new sheds etc. for the cattle.
Miss Pearl Zollman took her
departure for her home in Elk
county last Thursday. She has
been here some six months doing
homework for Mrs. Dyer. Dur
ing her stay here she had won
the friendship of all the young
people as well as old, and her
many friends regret to see her
go.
A coal famine has struck the
burg and we predict that if it
does not let up before long we
will be compelled to go to the last
resort, i. e. chips or freeze.
Henry Burford accompanied
his sweetheart as far as Bucklin
last Thursday, returning in the
evening with lost and forlorn
look on his face. He has scarce
1y been in the city but we would
Judge from his looks and actions
that he will be among the missing
in the near future. The writer
can sympathize with him for he
has been along that road in days
gone by.
1t would take the people by
surprise if the train from the
east should come in on time, as
it is usually from one to four
hours late.
We understand that there will
be a series of meetings held at
the M. E. church next week at
which the presiding elder, Rev.
Martindale, will be present to
help in the work. Everybody
4 invited to attend.
| Ellick Steel drove in from the
east last week with a load of ap-
pies which he is selling around
oyer the country.
