In answer to old 'Rusty," as to
why we are by ourselves of late,
will say, yes, all the school marms
and old maids we know anything
about are on strike and are strik-
ing so high we can't reach 'em.
We have been here in school 7
months; have the honor of having
the finest school that has ever been

to us. We have been very kindly
treated by the people and are very
grateful to them.

tention if she desires.
Now, "John b." please don't
confne yourself to marrying the

who would appreciate it; but as to
our badness, this is mistake.
We have considerable amount of

We are greatful to our CORE

for the dinner. Now listen at "John
Barleycorn" and "Stray Jay" plan
ming to have it somewhere down on

would take a man half days drive
to get there, let alone stay any
