for several days but DR.. Welsh is
getting him on his feet again.
| J.C.Dimmlck was the first one in
our part of the county to get start
led to preparing his land for wheat
this fall. He already has a good
start toward another crop by using
the lister on his stuble land.
We once heard certain fellow
In this town say that if he had to
make his choice between money OF
friends he would take the money
every time, and now we sometimes
wonder if he wouldn't be willing
TO swap some of that money for a
few genuine friends.
! Perhaps it is none of our bust
ness, but we just want to say to
Billy Gesner that every time Sam
Griffin comes to Hazelton of late
he does some mighty hard work for
Sam and it is going to count on
the day Of the primary. Better get
busy Billy.
Dan Edwards is again able to be
out and if not to attend to the
! business at the store, he can at
least keep the boys straight. Dan
was, unfortunately, the first one to
| get action on the 22-club but was
fortunate enough to get off with
only one weeks sickness.
Mr.. Denton and family arrived
here from old Kentucky one day
last week and are now comfort.
ably located in their new home in
Hazelton. We welcome this fam
lily to place among our people
and predict for them a pleasant life
among the Hazelton people.
Frank Baker has built a new
porch on each end of his dwelling
and has added some few new orna-
mental touches that are new to
most of our carpenters, but we look
for all of them to take pattern af-
ter Frank when they see the real
beauties of his plans.
There now didn't we always say
everything would come out! all
right with the Kansas farm. We
have now had whole week to har-
vest and pillow corn and the change
is wonderful. We never saw any
thing to beat the way corn does
grow.
Frank Baker says that his wife
has informed him that if he don't
make some changes in that new
style ornament to those porches
there is going to be a divorce suit
filed Immediately. We guess the
desired changes will be made and
Franks new ideas will have very
short life.
Feeling that he still had a mis-
sion to perform Mike Cavanaugh
went into the drug store Saturday
and undertook to regulate E. c..
Carpenter and his way of doing
business but it only required very
few words for Mike to get an in
vite to move on and when he saw
W. L. Gamble coming his way
with instructions as what to do,
Mike said, 81 am going," and he
went. We sometimes wonder if
the time will ever come when Mike
will settle down and attend to his
own business instead of trying to
regulate the whole business of the
town.
Last Thursday, with Esquire
Eastman acting as umpire, very
good game was pulled off between
Mike Cavanaugh and the Goodan
boys. Mike had Hon. Samuel Grit
fin as his pitcher and the other boys
had ]. IN. Tincher as pitcher and
Seward Field as catcher. Mike
was the first one at the bat, and af-
ter making two strikes, and two
balls was out on a foul, for once
in his life he failed to make a run,
and then in short order one after
another of Mikes nine was put out
in one, two, three order. None of
them ever made as much as first.
Under the rules by which the game
was played the umpire decided
that Mikes nine had failed to make
a single talley, and entered up a
Judgment in favor of the Goodan
boys. 1t is our opinion that Mike
is not satisfied and will want to
play another game, for he is one of
those fellows who hasn't got the
nerve to stand defeat and take his
medicine without making a pretty
ugly face over it.
