We are The most Of The time knoekInl
on The weather man, but this 70 one tims
that We are feeling very greatful toward
him, the reason for tie TIE dino rain d
Monday night and Tuesday. We bad
about one and one half inches Of rainfall.
and we are feeling very thankful for It,
even though II did interfere with a ball
game, for we needed II In our business.
The farmers are preparing for the har-
vest, and some Of them had expected ia
commence cutting this week. but The
rain will probably delay the harvest 9
few days.
The able bodied citizens Of Beaver
county, Oklahoma, are beginning to show
up on their annual visit 10 the Kansas
harvest fields. !.
A gentlemaR living not many miles
from Bucklin, went fishing one day last
week and the fish bit so well that be re-
NAMED at the creek little late, so late
that 1t was dark before be reached home.
When crossing the Rock Island railroad,
be observed some teams that appeared to
be tied up along the right-of-way, some
distance from the crossing, and thinking
1t strange that they were there at that
hour, he concluded to investigate little.
He went 10 where they were and found
the teams and wagons there alright but
he could not locate the drivera. He went
On home but before he had retired he
heard wagons on the road that passes his
house and they were coming from the
direction OF the railroad and be thought
he would investigate little more. Seek
ing place where be could see without
being seen, he bded his time, and soon
the wagons came by and be recognized
them as being the same ones that he had
seen earlier in the evening along the rail-
road, and now each wagon was loaded to
its full capacity with ties that the drivers
bad rustltd from the railroad company.
Ia order to get these ties the parties had
to take down fence and drive quite a
distance through field of wheat, thus
very materially iDjurng neighbours
growing crop, but when men start out to
obtain possession of property in the way
and at the hour these men did, they care
but little for the rights of their neighbors
or any one slse.
Our Fourth Of July has commenced In
June and is liable to lap over into August
The fire cracker of all sizes IL in evidence
at all hours of the day and part OF the
night, and It is liable to cause trouble
before it is stopped. 1t has already caused
the turning over of one buggie and the
frightning of several horses. The patience
of q number of our citizens is about to
the limit of endurance, and when 1t
passes that point, then there will be trou-
BILE and lots of it, for the kids, but in
reality the ones that are the most to
blame, are the parties that are selling the
boys the fireworks.
j. r. McBrayer returned to his home
Tuesday evening from two weeks visit
with his brother 10 Indiana.
A popular young lady of this place
played joke on her many friends few
weeks ago by,going quietly, one evening,
TO a neighbOring town and there, about
the bewitching hour of midnight, getting
married to the man of her choice, re-
turning Immediately after to her home.
She kept her own counsel, not even the
members of her own family knowing OF
the affair for week or ten days later.
A few days ago her husband, who is an
operator, having been transferred tc
another station some distance from here
she thought 1t best to join him there, Sc
she let the secret out.
John Sims has moved to Ford. III
goes there to take charge OF the barbe
shop that he recently bought of jessie
Handy.
