head to torment the mail carriers.
Chef Adair is improving his east
Greeley farm by enclosing his hog
pasture with woven wire.
Edward Owens has taken possess
ion of the farm recently vacated by
Mr.. Henry Rabe, near Old Hamlin.
The world is restless now. Families
are shifting about. Many fittings
are fioundering over the horrid March
roads.
Miss Lilly Kelley, daughter of
spend a pleasant fortnight among
relatives.
Clarence Jayne, a cousin to the
Edward Jayne children, will work for
j. w. Hartzell the coming summer
Frank Sunburg who recently moved
into Greeley is reported on the weeks

successful term of school at No. 2 in
Greeley March 8. She is now at home
to her friends at her fathers house.
Miss Ethel Kneeland will close her
school at Rose Valley, in univer-
sal atmosphere of good will, Friday

Some one said, "Dont you want to
kiss the weather MANI" Nit, if l have
any thing to do with the case | will
exchange the double SIS" for "CK'
in great big capitals.
Ira Johnson was victim of the
freakish weather and was compelled
to entertain the Grippe few days.
James Boyer went up to Currier
and Mantz and invested in a new set
of harness before departing for Guth-
rie. He knew where TO get an honest
deal.
The new merchants at Hamlin are
courteous and agreeable and will
doubtless make the Hamlin store a
very pleasant place to deal.

via Atlantic to his new home in Guth-
RE Center.
The Johnson boys over in Greeley
invested a goodly wad of money in an
up-to-the- scratch stallion. Their
judgement in regard to horses is good
and ripe, and you can depend upon it
that they have something that will pay

These rough roads are making
memorable blotch on nineteen hum
bred seven. The quantity of patience
required to deal with them is enor-
nous While descending a rugged
hill a few days ago my mail cart
lurched forward, then came to a sud-
den stop. My head was jammed
through the front window, my left leg
through the south door, my right arm
went crashing through the north win
dow, while my right foot got fast in a
mail pouch. | succeeded in getting
Strengthened up just in time to be pre-
sent at the opening of second exhi-
hition of the same sort. My patience
was fast ebbing away when in the next
mail box I encountered an unstamped
letter and hideous nickle from which
| was expected to extract the price of

looks of that "Old Nick" that il was
going to try to get away. | removed
my mitteu and made a grab for it. 1t
fell down in the bottom of the box. |
chased it three times around the box,
after which by making sudden jam
and skinning my knuckles against the
side of the box / succeeded in captur-
ing it. The contents of my heart
turned black as my eyes went in
search of the owner of that box who

For change | left that fellow three
cents in postage stamps as hint.
With an impatient, Get up Barney"

houudered back into the CRASHES
streak called a road. The left front
wheel dropped into deep rut, when
the cart gave a whopover and poked

corner of the north door At this
juncture my patience expired and my
feelings transcended the power OF
words, consequently, | can do no
better than leaveyouthese - -
