Mexico weekly ledger., 1907-06-27

Upon a fellows lap;
He claiming kisses ripe and rare
did not like the chap"
Reuben Dill.
1t seems as though Mexico is looking
more like New York every week. Nol
a week has passed recently but somt
one has been killed by tho crueI
wheels OF the cars.
Just because he called her a deyilish
pretty girl she casts no more goo-goC
eyes at him. Who ever heard before
Of a young lady chewing the rag wher
her sweetheart told her she was good
looking or q peach? POOR John.
The strawberry season is about al
an end. Logan Bybee will wear the
champion belt, with Bob Hooton a
fierce second. Both are world heaters,
We see that Col. Frank VanNeSs,
in bis up-to-the-minute poetry, uses
some OF our driftwood sayings. We shall
sue the Colonel for plagiarism and
"let 1t 90 at that" See, brother?
We would like to know Col. Dan
Sullivan's present address. He owes a
quarter and we want tito spend on
the 4th Of July. We also want Col.
Jim johnson to come acruss with that
30 cents. We are all in, down and out.
Miss Ethel McIntire, a beautiful
and v~iyacious little lady OF Fulton,
who has been visiting Mexico friends,
has returned TO her home. A little
third baseman, with the Athletics, is
close up TO heart-broken and wears a
smile that is pltiful. Poor Joe.
Mrs. A. G. Smith, living west Of
this city, is entertaining her daughters
Mrs. W. II. Sherman, OF Berkeley, Cali
fornia, and Miss Edna Smith, of De-
troit, Mich. Miss Grace Smith,
another daughter, Of Ferndale, Cali
fornia, is expected in a few days.
1t is said that Col. Tom Chopper and
Col. Willard Potts have been chosen
by the Coroner al standing jurymenn
on all cases for said Coroner. No bet
ter ~far-seeing men could have been Sc
lected. Col. Potts and Col. Chopper
viii turn over all their fees for the
betterment OF Cottonwood Springs.
We had occasion to step into the
Cafe OF our friend, DR.. Billie Porawski,
Monday, and Billie didn't do a thing
TO us but save u life." It's q way
he has. We then turned around and
walked right out. There is no more
artistic mixer Of thirst beverages or
a more pleasant gentleman to do bust
ness with than Billie Porawski.
Dr.. Dave Sullivan tells us that the
boys would have shown Tom O'Toole
. rattling good time Monday if he
TOM had not been called of by sym
pathetic friends. Tom is a good man.
What will become Of those hardened
old Fulton booze-fighters, now that
Fulton has no saloons? The license Of
1900 a year was too much money for
the thirst joint men e there to pay
out. Poor old Fulton.
Have you been invited to attend the
johnson fish fry Thursday, or did you
get the hooks? We are a little afraid
70 tackle that bunch. Too much
water will have to be used.
Bob Kemp, Tom Chopper, Chas Nor
ris, Tony Weinan Chas Schopp and DR..
Mcintyre are down near Florida
fishing. Obi what a rattling good
time they will have. We should have
went with the boys, but was afraid Of
the water as some of the bunch might
get us to drinking.
Col. Carter johnson is going to have
bis Flat Head Indians clipped again.
The second clipping is worth more
money than the first. Col johnson is
an experienced Indian barber and will
be assisted in his good work by Old
Rain-in-the- Face, Chief Stick-In-the-
Mud and Big Chief Scare-'em-to-
Death. After the clipping the Indians
viii be CREASED with lie, lime and
sulphur, then branded with the letters
G. j., and turned loose to Craze on the
roots, herbs, barks flowers and gum,
which are plentiful In the regions OF
the Cottonwood Mountains.
She handed out TO him the marble
heart, and now they never speak as
they pass BY. Poor Stanley.
Why did our handsome little friend,
Meredith Llewellyn, become frustrated
md failed to wrap up the comb for
The lady after she had paid for it?
A little over a week till the gloriousl
It'll Of July and the eagle will scream.
Dur sister town, Centralia, will hand
back a package and send us
! bunch of 600 souls to celebrate. Now
ct as pray. All will have a gay time.
Mr.. and Mrs. Granville Sexton and
title daughter, RUBY, we're the guests
4 Mr.. and Mrs. Bob Hooton, Sunday.
Also Mrs. Mittie Sexton, OF near Cen
ralia, and Col. and Mrs. Morgan Glenn
nd beautiful little daughter, Eme
zee, OF Yates, Mo. a big dinner was
pread on the beautiful lawn and all
te, drank and made merry. At in
eryals during the day, Misses ZauRg
nd Virgins, also guests at the Hooton
ONE, made splendid piano music and
ang sweet songs. The ladies we're
ecked out in beautiful gowns and the
cys present never looked lovelier.
nch heavenly hours do not come
Tery day, IL they did, our lives would
on vanish away.
