w. d. Cook IL stepping high and look
Ing very dignIied these days, 1t Is all on
account Of that new baby girl that ar
rived at their home y night last week;
the neither and baby are getting along
nicely, but Walters face begins to show
some lines Of care In contemplation Of
the sleepless nights In store for him.
Chas. Raymond Of Mullenville Is look
ing for a house in BuckliD, he thinks Of
moving his family here.
W. J. Houston, agent for The Rock
Island r. r. at this place, is taking a
vacation, and with bis family is visiting
various cities and points Of interest In
the eastern section Of this big country Of
ours.
MIR. and Mrs. E. @. Armentrout lost
their three months-ol baby by death,
the little one died at about noon on
Monday, August 70, 1907. The funeral

Of K~ingsdowD, Tuesday at 10 o'clock q.
m. Interment was made IN the Bucklin
cemetery.
There was a little extra smile on Fl.
M, Thompson's face Saturday. We did
not know what 1t meant at the time but
learned later that it was caused by the
arrival of a new boy at his home on
Saturday morning. The young gentle
man, apparently, came with the intention
Of becoming a permanent member of the
family, and Harry's smile may change as
the days roll by, and he is called up at all
hours of the night to entertain the young
man by promenading around the room
with him.
J. A. Luken, formerly of Bucklin, but
recently Of Caney, Kans , has rented the
3. e Stofer house on Ford Ave. and will
move his family here again.
The writer hereof took a trip to Dodge
City last Friday. There is nothing re-
markable about that or the trip either,
after we got started from Bucklin save a
gnawing at the stomach, caused by being
fooled out of getting dinner here before
we started and not having time to get 1t
at Dodge City. 1t is the getting started
that 1 wish to notice for a moment on
this particular day, and we are told that
the same conditions prevail almost every
day. We were told that the train would
leave for Dodge City promptly at II 80,
and we were all of one accord there
waiting for the start, a few minutes be-
fore IL O'Clock, noon, the coach was
brought to the platform, the passengers
all took their places in the coach, the
express and baggage loaded, the engine
backed down ready to couple on to the
train, then everything came to a, stand
still, and there we poor deluded pas
sengers sat, afraid to leave there TO get
our dinners lest We get left, and that
blessed train never pulled out until
O'Clock. 1t brought to mind the story by
Dickens Of the Circumlocution office,
where every employee tried so hard not
to do the thing that he was not expected
to do.
r. Z. McCaustland, of Lorah, Iowa,
are here visiting their son II. P. Nc
Caustland.
Bucklin Is on a kind of a bun today,
Wednesday, almost everybody has gone
to the children's picnic down on the
creek at brakes ranch. The picnic was
gotten up for the purpose OF giving the
children a days outing before school
opened. 1t was 10 have been held a
week ago but the rain prevented, it was
postponed, and today the most of the
town, and many Of the parents and other
Older ones have gone to enjoy a day In
the grove. Refreshments will be served,
including ants, spiders, chigres and such
other of natures condiments as are to be
found lurking In the sandy soil and the
luxuriant Vegetation Of the grove.
The Rock Island has concluded not to
move Its force and facilities from here
until September 1st.
