A party was given at Thos. Ridges
Thursday evening but j. NJ. Miller and
myself did not go. We cut and hauled
some wood for one of our sick neighbOrs
instead and we would advise to young
men to leave off going to few and give
the time or it's equivalent to some sick
person, and should you desire the COM
pany of some young lady wait until
Sunday morning and then saddle old
Selam and ride over to see her. Never
mind that collar and shoo-hy for fine
feathers never make a fine bird. When
you arrive at the gate of the girls par
ents hitch old Selam to swinging limb
not the gates Don't sit out on the
fence or stump in the yard but go in
to The house and tell your business. If
you sit on the fence or on stump, you
may depend on it, if the parents of the
girl are Industrious, they will advise
their daughter not to keep company
with you.

AS news is scarce this week, we will
will straighten ont rigmarole that
Owl, of Hicks Chapel, few over this
country and told. Perhaps everyone
heard that tale that he bought me a
suit of clothes in. Chattanooga. Owl
did not have any money to buy coal
and vest for himself, to say nothing Of
myself and that was what excited r. j.
Lasater's sympathy to make that ket
tie of Christmas pumpkin butter thai
we told you about. Owl wanted to mar
ry and he told that rigmarole to de
ceive girl into believingothat he wal
the stuff and that he had some money
and it worked like CREASED lightning
Now as Owl has been fortunate enough
to get married we will give you sketch
of the wedding. Owls real name il
Corn and he married lady named
Wheat. They were married down OF
Lick Skillet river in a church. TIT
choir sang the old familiar hymn
f what shall the harvest be?" A DO.
in the audience yelled nubbins anC
they forthwith elected him from tn,
church.
You are aware that Owls are wise a
} July rabbits and can't see we'll in thu
, dayt The time Owl was in Chat
tanooga he flew into an old Jew store
and thought he had best act little
as he was to be married soon and wan
ed coat and vest for the occasion
} While he was there prancing from on
side of tho store to the other, he caugh
sight of himself for the first time in
mirror He saw that there were only
few scattering feathers on him to hid
him from the gaze of the public. Tn
sight so excited and appalled, him tina
he became very nervous and decided
t would never in the world do for him t
l 60 out on the street in that shape for
. he did be knew he would be arrange
y before the police court, so be tried on
- new coat and vest and just as soon as h
got them on and the old Jews bao
was turned he flew away in great hast
:. and made his escape to the forest A
II he made his escape the old jew coul
. be heard hollerihg at every breath a
the top of his voice to nearby police
man to shoot him in the pants for th
: coat and vest belonged to him. TIL
4 sight of Owl resembling picked roo
d ter in that old Jews mirror is what b
saw and thought was a tramp.
J. Some writer said that R. L. LasatC
did not make any butter. The stat
meut was incorrect. He yet has tW
lard can fulls of nice butter on han,
The reason the writer made that stat
ment is because be wanted some of tn;
e delicious butter bat did not have th
money to pay for it and seeing so niue
!, about it in the paper it caused the sa
iva to flow so free to his mouth and b
>, could not stand TO see Il mentioned an
be fell upon this plan TO stop it. l NJ
ticed later in one OF his letters that th
l. butteru was o. X. Isuppose he mad
a rise and purchased a nickle's worth.
