Miss Beulah Buckalem, one of our
most winsome little ladies', spent
Sunday evening with the charming
Cunning sisters, Misses Katie al d
Ollie.
The Misses Callie Wray and
Maudie Dublin and Mr.. Leonard
Davidson spent a very pleasant and
enjoyable day with Slough Land
ing friends Sunday.
Dock Baker, one of the most re-
spected young men of Happy
Hollow, died short while since
He leaves host OF friends who will
sadly miss him in the social gather
ings.
Mr.. Henry Darnall of the Darnall
vicinity, was in our borough Satur-
day. Henry is cripple, yet few
lads bring a more pleasant face
than he, and we certainly appreci-
ate his visits.
Work has begun again on the
Baptist Church, and it now looks
like it will soon be completed, 1t
will be nice building and an orna-
ment to the village and an honor to
Lake county Baptists.
Mrs. Wray, one of our oldest ladies,
spent Sunday with Mrs. w. T. Dub
lin, who has been confined to her
bed from a very severe attack of la
grippe, but we are glad to say that
she is convalescing nicely.
Our old friend, the only original
''Bill GULL" of The Prairie, was in
our village a few days since. Bill al
ways has bountiful supply of hui
NOR aud pleasantries, and he very
genially diffuses them whenever he
goes. Call again, Bill"
Rev. Edgar t. Thorn, pastor of
the Baptist church at this place,
delivered an able discourse on the
last preaching day. His text is
found in Proverbs 30: 24-28, begin
ming with "There DE four things
which are little upon the earth, but
they are exceeding wise
Messrs. Will Wray and Virgie
Dublin, two of Cronanville's
"sparkingest' young lads, made
a visit to Slough Landing parties
Saturday night, returning home
Sunday afternoon. 1t seems to
them that the central point of at
traction is about Squire Haley's.
Say, Russ T. Kuss, what has got
you ''pulled off, from the flock? If
you knew how much we appreciate
your articles you would write every
week yea, twice week. SO arouse
from your lethargy and let us know
what is transpiring about State
Line, and cause ripple OF pleasure
to spread over all the. cousins.
We would like to ask Stray Jay
Bird if he could conveniently keep
those No. II shoes properly adjust
ed during the recent "slick spell"
Our understanding is not so extern
sive as yours, and we found it very
difficult to keep the center of gravi-
ty directly under us, and indeed did
not all the time, as we once lost our
equilibrium and came down upon
the hard ice with sickening thud.
Mr. Jas. N. Jones desires us to
inform the public that he has closed
his shoe shop permanently, and
that heartless wretch has stolen
his hens and left him two lonely old
roosters. He has decided to make
good this financial deficit by cutting
cord wood or paper-wood, which we

worthy adventure be grand and
success.
Squire Haley is very astute old
fellow, but his language is the every

his home while making Slough
Landing. After supper had been
over an hour or so, and after the
Squire had been contemplating the
purchase of a Worcesters I'M
abridged dictionary and a Latin
lexicon, the drummer was shown
into his apartment, and as Squire
was in the act of leaving the room
he was almost shocked out of his
wits by the following from the
Chiclgoian, Would you have me to
