will come back sadly disappointed
over the fact that they cannot be
found
We have neighbor possessed
with a kind of superstitious dread
of his destiny, owing to the lfact
that he and his wife and their five
children were all born on Friday,
and that their union occurred on
Friday also. But the secret will be
revealed when their thirteenth child

"A gentleman of Rives has quite
an interesting art gallery in course
of construction with some of the
most noticeable old patent medicine
pictures of before and after taking
it has been our pleasure to see.
Any one having picture of an old
broken-legged horse, or one cut to
pieces by barbed wire fence, would
do well to investigate prices paid
by this gentleman before disposing
Of same,
We are glad to know that the
Onion City Fair is a fixed thing
and we trust not a bauble will b;
made by the management in select
ing it's officers, and would also warn
them that one of the most impor-
tant places to be filled by an intelii-
gent, accommodating hustling,
honorable, influential business man,
is that of gate keeper. There are
few men possessed with the temper
ament and talent required and
needed at a tair gate, although
generally looked upon as of minor
importance. Think of it and then

Misses Ruth and Bessie Coleman,
accompanied by their aunt, Miss
aSallie Belle Thomas, were pleasant

grandpa nor push him when he's
going down hill.
Hold up, bachelor, we have a heart
big enough to love Mrs. B. and all
the cousins and hundreds of others
and then share more for charitable
purposes than you can command in
fifty years of fruit growing. We
are simply built that way.
We recently made another trip to
Lake county, where we went with
a seventy. five dollar load of brooms.
We went through Troy and Horn
beak and crossed the free bridges
and drove into Tiptonville with
about seventy dollars worth. We

jenkins, and he was so glad to see
us we began to think he would kiss
us, but we objected and talked him
out of the notion, ard had him to
save those kisses for a certain little
Union City girl, who would proba-
bly, relish them more than | would,
but we took his subscription for The
ana we went out IN
that little town and sold in less than
two hours 81 so worth of Barleycorn
brooms and paid one dollar of that
for dinner and horse feed, after
which we shook the dirt of that
town from the soles of our feet and
left it with fifty cents more than
we went there with, multiplied
ton of feelings not altogether pleas
ant but with mixed up desire to
cry out, Oh Tiptonyille, Upton
vile, wicked Tiptonville, thou that
prosecuteth the pauper and persecu'

you together as a hen gathereth
her chickens under her wings and
have stuffed you on Barleycorn !
