No, Gladys, Charley is not an
cry at you, it's just your breath
that stands him off, Better get a
tooth brush and some dentrihce at
the Lake drugstore.
Mr.. Garten, the Sun road boss, is
doing more toward making a good
road than any man in this end of
the country. 1t takes a good boss
to make the mare go.

week that our former townsman

sas, was a caller recently. He is
looking we'll and says he is pleased
with his new location.

The Sun City boys and girls put
on their best linen last Wednesday
evening and went to the Clawson

| People have been wondering and
inquiring about Charley Marsh
since he has not been in the city
in so long a time. Jesse Winkler
reported today that he was up

Rauhut's flirting with a school

we failed to get all the facts. The
camping party on the Ian Mills
place are Dave Bayse and wife,

Bayse's father also came along to
act as captain. Their success as
sportsmen is fine, quail pie, quail
fry and rabbit stew with big fat
coon and sweet potatoes to mix in
occasionally constitute their daily
rations.
Last Thursday about 3 o'clock p
m. a hay stack in G. w. Harper S
COW lot caught fire and caused the
liveliest time the city has had for
some time. For quite a while the
people from all quarters of the
town saw the smoke rolling up
and lost no time in getting to the
fire. Had it not been that the
Lake City fire department was
Johnnie on the spot" several
buildings would have doubtless
been burned as the wind was blow
ing at a lively rate and plenty OF
rich frle1 in easv range.
