PRIMARY AFTERMATH.

/
congress on the democratic ticket?
The boys who rode in the four-horse
wagons, when they started home, COM
menced singing "Home, sweet home. "
We wished they had never left home.
We can't distinguish any difference
between mossback and webfooter in
looks, but in votes-well, that's differ
ent.
Those who laugh last have the big
end of it every time.
We understand Charlie Copple and
| Lee Morse are over in Washington
making arrangements for enough vot-
ers to enable them to hold a democratic
primary.
Some one nominated Moore, the
democrat, for constable, but he said he
would have to decline, as he was un-
able to decide whether this was q re-
publican or democratic primary.
p. II. Martin went to Hood River,
| Tuesday of last week, to meet his sister,
Mrs. w. l.. Purdin, from Oklahoma,
whom he had not seen for twenty
years. Mrs. Purdin was called to Hood
River on account Of the illness of her
mother, Mrs. w. G. Martin, who has
contracted pneumonia, and on account
of her age, her children are much con.
cerned about her We sincerely trust
that their fears are unfounded and that
Mrs. Purdin will have nothing to mar
| the pleasure of her visit. We predict
that the contrast between Oklahoma
and Barrett will make Mrs. Purdin
10th to go back TO the land of cyclones,
sand storms and wind.
A sweet little tot of about six sum-
mers met US on the road, the other
day, and glancing slyly at us, said
"Say, know something for the Gla-
cier." We asked, "What is it, sweet
heart?" "Why, Mr., Brayford had
seven little mice last night in his barn.
Can't you put their pictures in the
paper? They are just too sweet for
anything" We promised the cunning
| little rogue we would do the hest we
could if she would tell us what her
name was. "0h, I'm Mr.. Frank Sher
rieb's little girl Laura" said she. So,
te encourage the rising generation, just
give this little tot some space even if
| you cannot put IN the mice,
w. f. Smith has moved onto farm
he has rented, about four miles from
| town, and has about contracted to lease
his home place to Charles Hoskins and
his mother.
All the pupilsin the fourth grade but
two in the examination held at the
school house last Friday, passed with
flying colors.
It was our pleasure to take din
ner with the w. r. G.. last Thurs
day, st. Patrick's day, and we were
very much surprised that the people of
Hood River are so slow to appreciate
the good things of life when they allow
such dinner to go begging. Wenever
sat down to so magnificent spread for
any such money as 25 cents. In en-
deavoring to eat>more than the doctors
say have capacity for | encountered
my poetic nerves and set them jingling
with the following result:
THE ST. PATRICK's DAY DINNER.
The ladies relief corps of Hood River
Just gave grand dinner, you bet
1t was held on St. Patricks day in the
morning,
And kept up long after sunset.
And if You wasn't there tits your own
fault,
You're charged up the price, all the
same;
For you missed the best dinner by long
odds,
And no reason will excuse you from
blame.
There was all kinds of meat, hot and
cold,
And beans like we had in war days;
With salads and pickles and celery so
crisp,
And st. Patrick fruit cooked in all
ways.
And the stacks of brown pies were piled
up so bold,
Any kind you might want, lemon,
apple or mince;
To say nothing of cakes that were a
dream to behold,
So filled with filling that was fit for
prince.
And the coffee! Oh boys, just see what
you missed
By forgetting st. Patrick and the
lunch of the corps;
And the ladies who served us were
even sweeter than this,
And we never need sugar in the coffee
they pour!
SO never again miss an occasion like
this,
But attend all the dinners galore,
And then you will know how to appre.
ciate a good thing
In dinners given by the Women's s
Relief Corps.
Jesse Imbler left last week for three
weeks visit in the eastern part of the
state, taking in the republican county
convention at The Dalles on bis way.
Grandpa Boynton of Pendleton is
visiting his daughters, Mrs. ]. II. Shoe
maker and Mrs. McReynhds of this
district. Mr. Boynton is well along i'm
years but hears his age so that one
would take him to be one of the bows
instead of the father. He is so pleased
with Barrett that he has determined
to remain all summer We cordially
welcome him.
Mrs. McReynolds was called to Pen.
dleton, last Saturday, owing to the ad-
vent of little stranger girl born to her
