Antediluvian writes a hot arti-
Gle this week in reply to Glenn !;
but as many of our subscribers
are begging us to ring the bellig-
crents off before somebody gets
hurt, we have decided, inasmuch
aS each party has had one say, to
close our columns against any
thing further on the "subjikt."
Much anxiety has been felt for
Miss E. Elizabeth Patterson who
has been suffering most acutely
during the past week from an at
tack of threatened appendicitis.
We are glad to inform our read
ers that by last report she is
resting comfortably and has ev-
cry promise of recovery.
Ex-Sheriff Sheets and daugh.
ter Miss Nellie of Franklin coun-
ty came over last Saturday. Mr..
Sheets returned home in the
evening taking with him his
daughter Miss Millie who had
been visiting her grandparents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Conrad Glazier, and
Miss Nellie is remaining among
her friends her a few days.
1t is very necessary during
these "dog days" to exercise con.
siderable judgment as to what we
eat and drink. We should never
overtax our digestive system with
food which we could abstain from,
but take that only into the ali.
mentary canal which is strictly
pure and nourishing. Fevers and
other diseases of equal danger
are now prevalent, hence it be-
hooves us to be cautious.
Mr.. E. L. Fagley of Belfast
township, the champion potato
cultivator of the lower end of the
county, spent day in town last
week. We found out the secret
of his success, and here it is /:
When ready to plant, he throws
in each hill a handful of South
Carolina bone then he puts in
his potatoes, and before covering
them with earth, throws on them
a shovelful of sawdust. The
Blue Victor is his choice variety.
A state law, approved March
%, 1900, says that the owner or
occupant of land abutting on any
highway in the township shall
during September of each year
cut and remove all briars, brush
and weeds, and in case of failure
to do so the township committee
shall cause such work to be done
and any owner shall pay such ex-
pense incurred with costs, if suit
be necessary before justice of
the peace.
The Kingman (Kansas) journal
says that e. G. Peck, a former Bel
fast township teacher, will on the
10th inst, have the largest sale of
personal property had in that
county this year. The live stock
which will be offered consists of
seven head of horses, eighty head
of cattle, and thirty-seven head
of hogs; also thirty-two pieces
of farm machinery. We wonder
if Enoch might be getting things
in shape to come back and take
Fulton county school this winter.
One of the fads in city society
is the Sitting waltz. F" This is
substitute for dancing, accom-
plishing the desired purpose just
the same as the old style waltz
where the gentleman and lady
bad to gallop quite distance in
order to get a chance to hug each
other. The two persons sit side
by side, the gentleman places his
right arm around the lady's
waist, she puts her left upon his
shoulder inclining her head con
siderably in the same direction,
while. his left and her right hand
are clasped in loving fervor. The
orchestra peals forth its raptur-
GUS and harmonious strains, while
the participants of the so called
waltz enjoy squeezing and hug
ging and loying-oo! A commen-
tator says that it proves quite
easy and enjoyable. This we be.
