Mrs. Hiram Stotts has been on
the sick list for the past few
days.
O. H. McClister, Gadberry,
visited his brother, J. w. Nc
Clister at this place this week.

to the Patteson place, on Rock
Lick, and J. T. Bennett will
occupy the house thus vacated.
Mr.. Johnson Stotts is now a
citizen of this village. Two
weeks ago last Monday he came
and cut logs to make the lumber
for a house. He then had them
hauled to the mill and sawed,
took the lumber to the site
selected, erected a dwelling, has
it completed and moved to it last
Saturday. Thus the timber of
which it is builded was in the
tree just two weeks before he
occupied the completed dwelling.
Mr.. Stotts did all the carpenter
word except he hired two hands
one half day while putting up
the frame. Any one in this
community will vouch for the
correctness of the above and if
their is any one who can beat
the record, shall be pleased to
hear from same through the

man will go to the polls and cast
his vote for a man or party who

For an instant, Langford hesitated.

were coming at last. The beats rang
nearer and nearer. From kemah,
from the Three Bars trail. from across
country, they were coming. All the
neighborhood ranchmen and home
steaders with their families and all
the available cowboys had been hidden
to the frolic The stableyard was
filling. Hearty greetings, loud talking
and laughter foated out on the still
air.
Laughing like children caught in a
prank the two at the spring clasped
hands and ran swiftly to the house.
Breathless but radiant, Mary came
forward to greet her guests while
Langford slipped away to put up SADIE.
The revel was at its highest. Mary

things to eat and drink to the hungry
cowmen. The rooms were so crowded
many stood without looking in at the
doors and windows. The fragrance of
hot coffee drifted in from the kitchen.
Langford stood up. A sudden quiet

The health was drunk with cheers
and noisy congratulations. Converse

again. His voice was grave. Let us

Silently all rose and drank They
were rough men and women, most of
them, but they were people who held
personal bravery among the virtues.
Many stood with dimmed eyes, pictur-

which brave mans life had closed.

leaped to his feet and stretched out
the crumpled arm with its deadly
weapon pointing straight at the heart
