and likely to last until the "glor-
ious end", if "Barkis" and "the
others" are willin'.
Well, almost unconciosu1y, as
it were, we drifted into ''poetry"
week before last and were much
gratified to find that by so doing,
we were included in the compli-
ment, that the reason we were all
writing poetry was because
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES rses",
and as he expressed it, "Great
men have many imitators." Not
disputing ''great mems words
at all, but wouldn't it express
the case better to say: Great
mems minds run in the same
channel?
How would it do to organize a
"Fraternal union" of News cor
respondents and elect Cracker
jack president?
We would like to give a little
piece of advice to the young man
who lost that letter from Fowler
and if he should happento glance
at these Lines he will know that
our opinion is that he should take
better care of his letters, for it
is quite "sell" on him when he
deserves" such a letter.
Mr.. EDITOR, in the interest of
humanity in general, won't you
please request Crackerjack to be
so kind as to not impose so much
webster" on the public? When
anyone runs across such a bunch
of synonyms as we're in week be-
fore lasts paperit serious shock
to the nervous system and besides
it wastes time. The average
person would have to hunt
through Webster's Unabridged
for week before they could un-
derstand any thing Crackerjack
says. Ever since we received
week before lasts paper we have
been trying to find out what he
meant, and aren't half through
yet. In fact we don't expect to
ever get through. He must re-
member that every one is not so
well acquainted with the diction-
airy as he seems to be. No, we
are not jealous of Crackerjack;
only glad journalism hasn't af-
fected us that way.
We are glad the poetry" cpl
demic has abated. It was getting
almost as serious as the measles.
Misses Kate and Lestas Trob-
err visited at Mrs. Chas. Keith's
last week. That is, they were
"going to- but didn't.
Mr.. Chas. Keith was Counting"
last week in Ashland and Mrs.
Keith didn't care.
VIM. Adams, our worthy
fellow citizen expects to change
his residence. Whittier, deponant
knoweth not.
Alva Davis took dinner at Chas
Keith's Sunday and spent the
evening. 1t was reported some
time since that this young man
was ''1ost". His many friends
will be glad to know that he was
found some time ago, on the road
to Smiths.
John Heape and Luther Davis
killed geese and time last week.
More time than geese.
We believe some of the SkunkS
from Fowler have found their
way down here. If they all leave,
the people up there won't have
anything to talk about. Well,
turn about is fair play. But was
it Fowler Skunk, Clarence?
Gardening will soon begin on
the Krisle irrigation farm.
Miss Fannie Heape is at home
again.
A very interesting program
was rendered at the Spring Creek
Musicale last week.
We are like the boy who didn't
know what to say now, so will
quit. We will add that we hope
Mr.. Crackerjack will talk in plain
u. S. after this.
SWEET WILLIAM.
