The hero reeled-
The curtain dropped.
Missouri will still be on the map
four years from now, and the sky will
be just as blue ami the grass around
Cottonwood Springs just as green as II
now Is and the birds sing just as
sweetly. Hurrah for Bryan
Col. Geo. Pickett. Of near Thomp-
son, was ia town Saturday, shaking
hands with bis many friends aud tell

1t is currently reported that DR..
Frank Peck. formerly OF this city,
now Of Nursery, Texas, was recently
married to 3 beautiful and vivacious
young lady Of the Lone Star State. If
the doctor is happily married, here's
the Ledger's glad 60; II he isn't mar
ried, be ought to be. He's q good man.

chant, postmaster and philanthropist

Weekly Ledger-The Great Exponent
Of Truth and Righteousness. Col.

Little Black Jack, Ed. Dermody's
favorite rat dog, was stricken with
something like buck-ager last week
and at this writing tine dogs life
hangs BY a tender thread. Pat Rey-
nold's dog, Teddy, also had an attack
OF the same disease bus Or. Kanaly
says that Teddy will get well again.
Later.-0ld JACK has rallied and II
be does not have another fierce attack
OF buck-ager, will recover. This will
be sad news TO rats-they, the rats
now living, had hoped that Old Jack
was all 10, down and out.
Gene Tomlinson tells the Owl that
Charlie Johnson recently purchased a
peck OF hickory nuts Of a Meyico man
and that half Of said nuts were no
good. The holes In the aforesaid nuts
had been plugged with matches and
toothpicks. Now, what do you think
Of that? The Owl thinks that any
man--be he Democrat, Republican,
Populist or Soclalist-who would do
such a wise act,n should be trans
ported far beyond the Northern Sea.
G. w. White, the colored black
smith, has the Owls thanks for IA
vors. Granville's work Is first class.
All work guaranteed. He makes q
speciality OF horse shooting, in fact does
all kinds of repair work, both iron and
wood. he has . splendid trade and
has just added an addition to his shop
for the accommodation Of horses. His
shop Is just across the street from the
rear OF the First Baptist Church, east.
Give George Washington White q call
for he is an artist.
Meredith Armistead tells the Owl
that Jefferson johnson, an old colored
man living on the north forks OF Pos.
sum Walk, and who is fond of the good
things OF life, prayed the Lord to send
him a Thanksgiving turkey. His
prayer was not answered. He then
prayed the Lord to send him to a
turkey. He got one that very night.
Good gracious, will the Owl have 10
adopt the same plan II be gets a fat
Christmas goose ? Where's John Fecht
and T. Bryan O'TooleY
The Printers big doins', to be reeled
of on the evening Of Dec. oath, will
be q nifty event. Attorney D. Hiner
Robertson win make the opening adj
dress, followed w by other gentlemen
Of note. Col. Jim Johnson will be
present and sell two or three Flat
Head Indians, who are unmanageable,
Squire Bass will link two loving
printers hearts together, and Jay
Benefits Dave Ball rooster will flop
his wings, crow and reel OF a dance,
and many other funny things will be
reeled OF. The printers always have
a good time. Gilt-edged Invitations
will soon be sent out from the Ledger's
Job rooms. II you don't come, you
won't be there. See?
There is a general belief that any
part of rope with which a murder
has been hanged is an invaluable cure
for rheumatism. We trust our rheu.
matte friends will not catch up some
good fellow and hang him, hoping to
be cured by carrying strands Of the
rope. If Or. Kanaly doesn't soon ease
up the pesky pain IN arm, we shall
send for a piece Of rope and try that
remedy. We have used many remedies
but still have the same old pain.
