Cold, did you say? Well who said
it wasn't, but we ''sorter" like a few
days OF real winter anyway.
D. 0. Edwards and A. W. Moore
spent most of last week in Kansas
City, with the implement dealers.
Ed Pfaff took advantage of the fine
cool weather last week and moved to
the farm he leased, west of the river.
Now let the good roads fever take
hold in its worst form and become an
epidemic that none will escape until
the roads are fixed up right.
J. L. Knorp had the misfortune to
nave his horse fall with him last week,
breaking one bone in his leg. He was
getting along fine at last reports.
E. E. Webb is still on the safe side
with his long Seige of fever and is
making slow gains, but it will be sew
eraI days before he can get out and
make good hand on the farm.
Isaac Miller of Marshall, Oklahoma,
was visiting with relatives in this To-
cality last week and spent a short
time in our den. He expressed him
self as very well pleased with this part
Of Kansas.
The A. III. L. A. at Hazelton is ex-
pecting to have big time next Sat-
urday, the 23rd. They have ten new
members to initiate and are very anx-
louS that every member now in good
standing puts in an appearance on
that occasion.
The HaZelton sidewalk fever has
now gotten to where it will do lots of
good. The walks are now certain to
be built and this will not only add to
the general appearance of the town
but will increase the value of town
| property to great extent.
Last Thursday morning Jim Ayers
came into our den and we asked him
to have chair but he didn't notice
anything we said but began trying to
stand on his head and cut other i'm
possible figures. We became excited
and asked what was wrong. "Wrong?"
said Jim, "why nothing is wrong: it is
| only another BOY at our house, We
Immediately sent him to DR.. Welsh
and he is now thought to be out of
danger.A
John Wagner has played it on our
people rather more than we had ever
suspected. John has been wandering
around here attending to his farm
and apparently perfectly content, and
no one ever suspected that he would
ever get up enough courage to ask
any young lady to share his lot with
him, but we were all mistaken for a
few days ago John succeeded in coax
ing Miss Jessie Mckee to say "yes''
and they went to Alva and got hitch
ed up and didn't even let the Hazel
ton folks know where they were 60
ing. John has done US all a ''Scaley'
trick, but under the circumstances we
are going to let it pass this time but
warn him never to do the like again.
During the cold spell last week Mrs.
Fred Dicks was caught away from
home and Fred was left to keen
batch" Now Fred likes to "keep
batch" for he is a lover of good gravy
and he had for long time determin-
ed that at the first opportunity he
would have all the gravy he wanted.
So this was his opportunity, and he
began at the first meal. He first got
1T too thick, then too thin, then he
had to add more salt to balance up
against the additional thicking and
thinning it had gone through; then he
had too much salt and had to put in
more of the other ingredients, and
thus IL was from one trouble to an.
other but Fred was bound to have
it right before he quit, and when he
did get it to the right consistency and
flavor he had little more than he
could get in their big dish pan,
at rough guess about five gallons.
But the weather being cold was in his
favor and he still has some on hand
p. S. He says he has resigned the DO.
