COTTONWOOD SPRINGS, May H.
The election is over, we have nothin.
to say. Ais well that ends we'll. Nov
be good and you will be happy,
The boys behaved very nicely las
Saturday. Gun grease was temper
ed" down by Springs water.
Besides owning some Of the fines
chickens in the world Col. Walter
Hubbard is mi OF the most fluent off
hand orators that a crow ever dared fy
over. He is booked to make a speech
at the Springs.
Col. Jim Guthrie, OF Central, say
that the LEDaER's COTTONWOOD
Springs correspondent is all y. X. al
is also Artist Kemper, but that Cen
trail has an artist that Mr.. Kemper /,
not in 1t at all with. Oh, we dom
know. Let him show his ''colors" ant
come TO the front, and like James A
Reed be bold and fearless. Mr.. KEN
per now wears the medal and we want
to see the color Of that Central man,
hair that will take it away from
Billie.
Didn't that little Irlshman run
some? He was In it from start TO fin.
ish but "few a shoe'' when he heard
from the returns from Moline.
We had an idea that Rufus Jackson
would win from the start, he having
the unanimous support Of the Mexico
Rabbit Club, which is equivalent to
an election.
We still wear our Jim Reed button,
just TO remember the face OF a bril-.
liant man. Nothing succeeds like
success.
Editor Bob White drives a mighty
swift dapple grey, but he will be ar
rested II he drives as fast on the Pike
at the Springs as he does on the paved
streets of Mexico.
MI. White has doffed his mustache
and now very much resembles Hon.
Champ Clark. We would vote for
both Of these gentlemen, although we
have almost retired from the political
arena.
just a little sunshine and just a lit
tie rain and all will be well.
Jim KEMP has a sure cure for sore
throat. See him and he will give you
the remedy" free. He purchased it
of Gene TomlinsOn. Jim picked all
the candidates and got his men.
Major ]. r. Luckie may be seen on
the Pike during the summer holding
the ribbons over Little Dick, the
PAGER, by Prince Hal.
Jay Bennett has about disposed OF
all his dogs but has ordered another
assignment.
Some thief In the night" stole DR..
Ed Patton's fine Gypsy cat, and the
doctor mourns.
Whether Norman Branstetter, Tom
Chopper or Frank Harris "bought the
candy we don't know, but the boys
say its on Tom.
The Demody Bros. and the writer
have a young feline named after the
next county collector. The cat is q
thoroughbred, like his namesake and
Tommie Roden has promised to give,
the kitten a new pair Of boots and a.
slice of liver and milk every day or
two. Tom does nothing by halves.
Lots OF good men get their faces
turned TO the wall and afterwards rise
and shine. Y
Hon. Sam B. Cook told the president
OF the Mexico Rabbit Club a few days
ago, that a law was enacted in the last
Legislature that he was entitled to
wo votes anywhere In the United
States at the next November election.
So Col. Carter is entitled to two votes
at any place The may reside at that
time.
Many have told US that the Worlds
Fair will be a drawback on the
Springs. Now, we don't think so; do
you?
We have kept the faith.
Jerry Dermody and Jay Bennett got
In at the eleventh hour.
The new pump for the Springs is
forthcoming and the bill-dlpping sea-
son is close at hand.
Major James Finn and his handsome
bride entertained a few select friends
It luncheon Tuesday evening. Major
Finn does nothing by halves and his
many friends in Mexico congratulate
him In winning the hand OF SO beauti-
'ul and SO accomplished a lady. Long
life and prosperity to both the bride
md groom.
1t was James A. Finn Tuesday night
instead Of James A. Reed. For par
,iculars see Lock Nolan.
''To our pride In the past and our
hope for the future, let us add vigor-
JUS work in the living present"
