While touring the western per-
ton of the county we had a fine
looking young lady pointed out to
us as Old Rusti. My, what sur
prise! We thought Old Rusti was
a man.
Times we're never better in this
locality. Everybody is busy with
pockets of money and grub world
without end. Come down to Num-
Der Four, Mister Editor, and be con-
WINGED of the fact.
The ugliest and most pitiful look
ing object seen in these parts for
years called at the residence of w.
P. Morris Saturday night and beg
ged for something to eat. He did
not getit. TWAS little Bob Shankle.
Mrs. Gus Callicott entertained at

ent were: Rev. Brown, of Kenton,
Hubert Shore and Miss Birdie Tur-
ner, Mr.. Press Callicott and sister,

ALI the good looking married
ladies of Number Four are in, or
preparing to go into the poultry
business, and the little speckled
dominica hens are cackling out the
arrival of new eggs almost momen-
tarily.
Dr.. E. H. White, of R1ves, went
cunning recently, to kill some par
tridges for sick patient. After
running out of shells he returned
to apologize to his patient for not
having killed him bird, and said
if he had some more shells he
thought he could kill one, as he on
ly brought fifty with him.
We suggest that the editors give
a dinner to their corps of correspond
ents at some time in the near fu-
ture, as it would be something out
of the ordinary and would therefore
attract attention to The CONNER
cial, and would inspire renewed en-
ergy in each correspondent in get
ting up all the local happenings.
What say yon Stray and Hobo, and
you Sylvan and Gypsy, could you
furnish the flowers for the occasion?
On Friday we drove down to the
little city of Oblon. The roads were
simply fine, but there was little
mud and slush from eighteen inches
to four feet on top and, as Bob Tay-
Ior would say we went down while
the balance of the world went
around and around. At night we
enjoyed the hospitality of that
prince of good fellows, Mr.. Hugh
one of the thorough-go-
ing, up-to-date farmers and stock
raisers that Obion county is so not
ed for, and who owns one of the
most fertile and beautiful farms IN
the Wolverine vicinity. Mrs. Nc
Donald was originally Miss Nellie
Kitchell, one of Pleasant Hills most
charming young ladies and whose
place in this society is still vacant,
but she occupies similar position
in her present neighborhood and is
the Joy and sunshine of Mr.. McDon-
nell's life and home. What came
near being sad accident occurred
during the night. Mr.. Mcdonald
on retiring took a dose of medicine
that made him very sick. A doctor
was summoned and an examination
disclosed the fact that he had taken
seyenty-fve or eighty grains of
medicine, whereas five grains was
dose. But we are glad to report
him better, with prospects of an
early recovery. Now we have
drawn the line on the cheap-iohn
drug clerk and no man under thirty
years of age and without the res
possibility of a family can fill a
