Ed Goodan 10 building an addition to his
business house and when done Will open up an
ice cream parlor aud furnish meals at any and |
all times.
We learned in an indirect way that the re- |
publicans had caucus Saturday to elect del |
egates to the republican convention on the |
14th, but did not learn any of the particulars. |
Dan Morton has got the foundation in for
his business house and the carpenters will
make it look like house by the last of the
week-that is if it will let up on raining for q
while.
Billy Haun, one Of the candidates for sher-
if on the Democratic ticket. was in the city
one day last week getting acquainted with the
boys. and if he is so lucky as to get the nomi-
nation he will get good vote at Hazelton.
All of the carpenters. brick and stone masons
and plssterers are having all they can do to
keep up with the demand, and with the big
wheat crop soon to be harvested and market
ed they will no doubt have plenty of good
hard work for the remainder OF the season.
The first nine won another game Saturday,
and il they keep this thing up much longer
we are going TO place all of our spare change
on them as being the champion ball team in a
territory embracing four miles each way from
| town.
Everybody don't appear to be perfectly hap
Ply over the Children's Day exercises at the
| church last Sunday. and especially the boys.
This was caused by their not being asked to
take part or rather being little slow in TAX
ing part. The girls had full control and this
| did not satisfy the boys.
Dan Edwards is having an elevator of 5000
| bushels capacity put up to handle his share of
the big wheat crop that is bound to come to
HazeltoE. This is something that has been
badly needed here for several years, and we
have no doubt it will be a paying investment
| for Dan, as we'll as being a great convenience
to the farmers.
Jim Ayers let a small rattle snake bite him
one day last week. Jim happened to have
some snake bite medicine in the house and it
was the work of only few moments for Jim
| to get at that medicine. Either the snake
bite or the medicine made him a little sick for
a short time otherwise no evil resulted from
! the bite. We didn't learn what effect 1t had
on the snake.
We understand that there is small fight
on to see who shall carry the mails to and
from the depots at Hazelton in the future
|
mail will be carried at excursion rates, at any
rate that is the rule in such affairs. Men gen.
orally cut their own throats and Uncle Sam
| gets the benefit of it.
| John Noble unloaded new threshiug ma
| chine here last week and from the present
| outlook there is going to be whole lot of
good wheat for John and others to thrash in
this locality this season. Wheat is we'll headed
! and from present appearance is going TO be
| one of the best average crops we have had for
| several years. And when it comes to the oats
crop it is simply away ahead of anything we
ever had in this part Of the county.
We heard it reported few days ago that
Uncle Jake Keller had at last decided to re-
form and take unto himself helpmate, but
as we have not got any positive proof of this,
we are not going to vouch for it's accuracy.
However, if he has an opportunity and don't
take advantage of it he ought to be placed in
a dark cell and kept on bread and water for
about ten days, for this would be pretty apt
| to bring him around to the right side of the
question. Take notice no malice is intended
in this.)
