As soon as the news OF the rebellion
Of Bogardus reached Washington the
batteries OF peanut politics were
brought into action and the Washing

We had good rain Sunday and all
crops are doing well.
On last Sunday morning Luther Moon
daove to Sunday school in his buggy.
While there he was arranging his buggy
before the rain came and rooster flew
out from under the buggy seat. Now,
it is very common to carry setting
hen to church in buggy. Why Luther
has introduced the practice of carrying
ROSTERS along we do not understand /,
unless he likes to hear them crow.
Now, we would suggest. if the corre-
spondents agree to hold the picnic here,
that as it would be almost impossible
to get many of them together to ar
range program, that each cOrrespon-
dant write card to myself, Amor or
Sylvester, Marietta +. r. No. 2, and
mention anything they have to add to
the program and we will get the help of
Amor, Sylvester and some others on
this side to help us complete the pro-
gram. Write US at once.
Several of the ladies from this side
go to town alone to peddle and owners
of automobiles should be very particu-
lar about frightening horses. If the
horse chances to be frightful the ladies
are left at the mercy of the one run

Parker Reid's horse got frightened at
one and ran away, damaging the buggy
very badly. Fortunately the occupants
were only slightly hurt.
