Virgie Dublin, Misses Ollie Dun
ming and Maudie Dublin took
very pleasant drive to Lon Cakes
Sunday.
Once more in the annals of fleet
ing time we grasp an opportunit.
to write few of our most recen
intelligence.
Mrs. Meta Dublin and her es
Unable mother spent Sunday will
Mrs. Hintie Dunning. They report
very pleasant time.
Miss Leona Johnson, an accom-
plished young lady who has beer
staying a the home of DR.. Buck,
returned to her home Sunday.
There was not any Sunday-school
Sunday, as it was preaching time
before the classes gathered and we
could not afford to take one mo-
ment of Brother Thorn's precious
time.
Mrs. Ella Hopson, one of the
most prominent ladies in the vii
lage, and wife of our hustling gro
GER, George r. Hopson, spent Sun
day evening with Mrs. Hintie Dun
ming.
Several of our young people at
tended services at Salem Sunday,
among whom were Virgie Dublin
and Leonard Davidson and Miss
Buckalem and brothers, Hiram and
C1eve.
Brother John D. Long, of Upper
Slough Landing, attended preach
ing here Sunday and expressed
himself as highly pleased with the
service, and he admired the new
building.
Our population still continues to
increase. DR.. w. T. Buck reports
fine boy at the home of Dock Fer
guson and a daughter each at the
homes of Alfred Evans and Mr.
Hudson Besides DR.. Alexander
tells us of a new girl at Constable
r. s. Dunning's.
At an entertainment not long
since the entire company was
amused at the awkward break of
V1rgie Dublin. He had been deeply
affected by the beauty of certain
young lady, and he being just the
right age to know nothing of Gu
pid's darting lance fell to making
love instanter. He remarked, "You
are the purtiess gal there is here
Whereupon, she responded to the
compliment by saying, in as sweet
tones as possible, "Thank you"
To this he very affectionately add
ed, "You are welcome" The rest
was drowned by peals of laughter,
so we did not get any more.
One of the most startling sensa-
tions in Slough Landing society oc-
CURED there last Sunday afternoon.
A certain man, commonly called the
marrying Magistrate, lives there
and by the way he is the father
of one of the sweetest girls $50
thinks Mitch Oakes) that God ever
graced His earth with. The
shrewd old Squire is very much
pleased with the accomplishments
OF his dignifed daughter so his
parlor is forbidden territory, and
woe unto the lad who crosses the
threshold thereof. Mitch Cakes
became very much infatuated with
the charming damsel and hazarded
a visit to her home. Shortly after
he had become comfortably I'M
planted in chair by her side the
hall sounded with entering foot
steps and presently entered the
irate Squire and securing his great
whip, which hung in the hall, he
actually told Mr.. Cakes to ''scat-
ter" At the first ''che-row" of the
whip Cakes took a hasty departure,
followed closely by the pursuing
Justice. And it is said that the
posterior extremity of his coat
floated gracefully yet bravely out
upon the gentle zephyr as he pro-
ceeded homeward with lightning
outstretching the Justice
who ambled along as speedily as
possible but was prevented from
rapid transit owing to the
great amount Of obesity which he
is the possessor of.
With the kindest regards for all
the correspondents, and the very
