We had Mise editorial piece all set
up in type concerning Geo. Washington
the father of our country and several
children, and thort il would be quite
a fether m our cap when our respected
citizens read our youlogiums -erbout
him and whot this day ment to them
and those thet foller. But the old ad-
age that menny flower is born to
blush unseen applys 10 our case, when
Jabe Crum come in our ofhse and sit
around tall he got tired and then leaned
agln a galley containing our Washing
ton editorial and knocSt It onto the

out the best youlogium ever dasht Of
fen our versitile pen but suffice 10 say
they was considerable heat under our
collar, and some Of il is there VT.
As neer as we can remember it. the
editorial crackt Geo up for telling the
truth when he was little feller about
somethink or other when all the na-
bers children was lying like sixty and
was proud of it. Geo didn't lie-if he
did, he never got ketched at it. Right
here We wish to point out that this
ort to be a soilum warning to Tabe
Tucker. Lige Green and Cv Hoskins
and other reputable citizens of Bing-
vile wich we could name. Washing
ton was born in Virginia. wherever
that is. and his folks had purity hard
scrubbin to git along. He was a CRATE
statesman when he crowd up. and /,
was him who led the patriots durin
the Reyolushion and licked the Brit
lsh and made this country free and in
dependent wich it has been ever sinst
he was man of CRATE courage and
grit his teeth when he crost the Del
aware River on a dark night when the
river was full OF ise and him a poor
skater, and attacked the Ressians sta
shioned at Trenton. He also tackeled
politicks ard was the lst President OF
the United States.
Geo. and his army passed the winter
at Valley Forge and If was a harder
winter than we ever had around these
parts, and that's going some, when YOU
consider SHOW shoes was a mighty
scairse artikel them days. Geo. went
among his soldiers and kept them
warmed up by telling them whot would
happen TO them if they got licked, and
that 1t wouldn't be very long before
summer ennyway. That's the kind Of
a man Geo. was If it hadn't been for
George Washington this country would
have went TO the dogs them davs.
We think CRATE cal of Geo. whea
we are most pullin our gizzard out on
our Washington hand press, wich be

pay taxes and rents are certainly
protected from peddlers by Marshal
Williams.
An Italian was picked up Saturday

canvass with cheap goods The ltal-
ian protested that he was only tax
ing orders and had offered nothing
tor sale. But the marshal never
does anything by halves and had the
drop on the Dago. Only Friday night
the peddler appeared at the home or
the police magistrate and offered for
sale Oriental scaris, shawls. etc. III

woMAN's RELIEF CORPS.
Pleasant Afternoon with Contests
and Supper.

The Woman's Relief Corps had a
social meeting Thursday afternoon.
ot which there was large attend
ance and a thoroughly good time en-
loved. Mesdames X. ID. McLucas and
Isabel Rienks were the committee
on entertainment and had provided
some ingenious contests. One was
the reading of long shopping list.
and those present were then given
paper and pencil and told to write
down as many of the articles on the
list as they could remember. Mrs.
n. ID. Bartholomew had the nearest
complete number and received a
prize. Another amusement was the
distribution of slips of paper, each
having written on it one work of a
patriotic quotation. The slips were
then read aloud promiscuously and
the first one to guess the entire quo
tation was to have been given a
prize. Mrs. Oliver Howard and Miss
Marion Van Dyne guessed 1t at the
same moment and 1t was necessary
to award two prizes. The afternoon
concluded with a nice supper, which
had been provided.
