Mrs. Rosa Day, OF Chaplin, Texas,
formerly Of Mexico, is soon to make
her many relatives and friends q visit
In this city. Many delightful func-
tons win be given In her honor.
Ppof. G. z LAforce may follow the
example set BY Hon. Fl. P. Warden,
that Of setting apart = day and give 3
big dinner, supper and cAke-Halk TO
the boys for cutting bis buck-bush
crop. Prof. Laforce has no bushes on
bis farm but has a big corn crop, all
right, all right. Wait for George. He
does nothing BY halves. Bob Kemp,
Eli Mullinax and Strother Underwood
will be at the corn-cutting jubilee.
Dennis Frosfeld O'Callaghan, form
erly OF Thompson, and well known In
Mexico, now Of Battle Greek, Mich,

Io'Callaghan and wishes to them q
long, prosperous and happy life. The

west OF this city.
The great Mexico Fair Is over. 1t
was a success. Everybody had a good
time and all is well. And now, after
much-neened rest, the Printers
Love Feast and Jubilee will be reeled
Of in the Cottonwood Springs noun
tains. The affair Is TO printers only,
with one exception-that Of Attorney
d. Hiner Robertson, who Is the orator
Of this gay affair. Mexico printers
have way Of their own 10 celebrating.
They always lift the veil, pnt on the
pressure and have a good time. All
lids will be lifted on this occasion.
Hon. II. p. Warden owns a splendid
farm just southeast Of Mexico, and
one day next week is going to have q
progressive buck-bush cutting on bis
farm. he will invite bis friends to
bring their own axes and cut bushes
throughout the day. Col. Warden
will furnish a big dinner and supper
and give the boys fancy dress ball at
night in payment for their days work.
This is the good old.fashioned way in
having lots Of work done and at the
same time making the boys have a
good time. Col. Warden does nothing
by halves, and the Owl will shoulder
his James A. Reed two-bitted axe and
hike out for the Warden plantation
and down more of the pesky bushes
than a goat can eat in q day. The
buck.bush is doomed and must go.
About 90 people will WELD axes on
the day set apart for the big doins'.
A delightful lawn party was reeled
of at the residence OF Col. Henry
Showers Tuesday evening. There was
a large bunch Of pretty girls and nifty
boys present and the youngsters had a
gay time. lisa way they have. The
Fecht Bros, Willie and Dennis, are
soon to reel of lawn fete at their
beautiful Mountain Home, Just west
Of town. Prof. Tom O'TooIes String
Band will furnish sweet music and 1t
will be all hands round.
SIT may be sweet
Just after dark
Upon a seat
Out in the park
To sit and spoon
'TIs JOY, no doubt,
To bill and COO
When lights are out
AS lovers do
Beneath the moon.
But when kiss
He gently takes
And In bis bliss
Your headgear shakes
lbb b0uRD on hats.
When on his breast
In loving trust
Your head you rest
And get it mussed
It's rough on 'rats'".
Virgil Miller, the gallant soldier
10Y, has returned to bis post Of duty
