j. b. jackson and wife of Pine
Grove are frequently seen in Odell of
late. j. b. has bran new buggy, a
glossy span of bays with new harness,
and spotted and red tassels hanging
from the brides. j. B. proudly draws
the reins over these spirited road
sters, and although several weeks have
passed by since they we're married,
his smile seems broader, and his warm
blood seems to gush through his
veins more swiftly than ever. He Is
of southern ancestry and like his
father, is genial and hospitable. These
people from the sunny south possess
drawing qualities, and the only wonder
is that j. b. remained in single har-
ness so long. Having omitted to con-
gratulate them at the proper time, we
now beg to wish them a bon voyage
through all the storms of life, and In
the words of Maxim Gorkey, may each
say to the other: "The sea with all
its waves eau never wash you out of
my heart. "
