Headaches accompanied it, and we

PURsLEY JOTTINGs.

Pearley Eller of New Martins
vile, was the guest of his school
mate. Carey B. Twyford, Satur-
day.
The National social was a sue
cess from a financial standpoint.
Miss Minnie Tracy and friend,
Miss Lemons. of Parkersburg,
are guests of relatives here.
Miss Ada Moore returned Tues
day from a visit of several weeks
to her parents near Parkersburg.
Mr.. and Mrs. James Pyatt and
son Willie were calling upon
friends here Sunday evening.
Carey Twyford and John Ear
ley assisted the Buck Run base
ball team to play the Middle
bourne boys Saturday afternoon.
j. n. Kinkade was a caller at
Paden City Saturday.
j. l.. McIntire, j. II. Inghram
and James Peoples, three of our
prosperous farmers, were business
callers in the city Saturday.
Only che week till Circuit court
is in session, when the work of
meteing out speedy justice to all
the law-breakers should be in or
der. Even the manipulators of the
Red Ticket scheme should be Civ
en- their just dues. The murder
case, which has not been forgot
ten, should be tried out at this
term in justice to relatives and
friends of both sides of the case
and even for the benefit of the
neighborhood.
On Saturday evening last an ac-
cident occurred near the residence
of S. Moore. which might have
been serious, but no one was hurt
to any extent. Elder George
Ea gan. Bee Nissan and Newt Kin
kade were the occupants of a car
riage and upon their way home
from Sistersville were Overtaken
by two youG- men in a two-horse
rig. and being OverstOcked with
a product Of a certain class of
business men" of Sistersville,
drove their rig into that of Mr..
Hissam's. smashing one wheel
completely and bending both
aXles and tossing the occupants
speedily to the grounds. They
also frightened two ladies from
the city who took refuge in the
ditch and even then came near be-
ing run over.
This is clipping from Dash in
the Farm Journal. It is very APP
propriate for this section, hence I
send it for publication: l am sor-
ry to say that some of the men
and boys who follow the thresh-
ing machines and 90 to picnics,
eat more like starved swine than
like men. All of Our Folks know
them. They eat as if that were
to be their last meal on earth.
Surely pride of self should teach
this ravenOus crew better. The
farmers like to see guests eat
heartily. but such gorging is dis
gushing to any one.

Dudley Holland, district manager
of the Central Idaho division Of the
Rocky Mountain Bell Telephone
Company, whose headquarters is at
Boise, visited Mountain Home last
week in the interest Of his Company.
Mr.. Holland expresses his great
pleasure with the growth Of the
various exchanges under his general
supervision and stated that he has
recommended to the general mana
ger the building of connections be-
tween Mountain Home and Glenn's
Ferry and between Mountain Home
and Little Camas and Pine. This
will give this city service with Pine
over the present Gold Belt long
distance line, besides bringing
Glenn's Ferry thirty miles nearer
than ever--to our very door; this
has been crying need for ever SO
long, and its consmmation will be
hailed with universal satisfaction.
1t is generally understood that
the recommendation, coming from
Mr.. Holland, is about equivalent to
an order to begin throwing earth"

SCENTED DOG IS LATEST
New York Fashionables Select an Al propriate Perfume of Each
 Modish Breed.

Nowadays the pet dog must be per. fumed, says the New York Sun. but is not enough to scent him with any oli perfume. Modish women who con sider their pets try to select an appro priate odor for them. Thus Japanesf poodles are perfumed with frangipani which has spicy Japanese odor tha suggests the oriental nativity of the animal. Mexican hairless dogs, which are enjoying quite a vogue just now, are scented with chypore, which has a heavy, tropical odor that suits these dogs of the south. Very little of 1t is used, as the scent is powerful. Two or three drops on the long hair behind the head, where the dog cannot indulge in his tendency to lick it off. is all that is needed The shaggy skye terriers are scented with stimulating extract of Scotch heather sold by one of the Fifth avenue druggists and reoolent of the Scotch flowers perfume. -. French poodles, which are not nearly sp popular now as they used to be, smell delicately of some Parisian perfume. Boston. ter rlers have received as their special per- fume scent made by New Yofk drug gist and declared to be the sportiest of all odors.
