MATTERS AT ELLENDALE
Milford Chronicle.

Milford Chronicle.
We are always ready to accommodate
our neighbors, especially thbse who
extend us a cordial invitation. as was
done by the Lincoln correspondent I'm
his last weeks letter. but we think
that our brother C. r. c. shot off his
horn a little too soon. Yes. our boy
champion shot with the Lincoln expert
that q. r. c. boosted so loudly on Mou-
day. and quite vanquished his foe. and
don't he feel small after so much prac-
tice, 10 let the little school boy that
has not seen a gun for three weeks;
yes. aferfect greenhorn, beat the crack
shot of Lincoln City. Now crawl into
your hole, boys, and never say shoot
again until YOU learn how.
We have boaten all Corners at base
ball and at shooting match, and
are ready for any old thing imaginable.
for Ellondale backs down for nothing.
not even a law suit.
We have woman here that's only
third class that can outshoot anything
that Lincoln can produce; just try her
Il you dare. Mr.. G. r. c.
We are having a little trouble OF our
own now. and everybody is In It. There
are many here who own vacant lots
with fine crimson clover growing on it;
those who own no lots have a big flock
Of chickens running at large, and the
chicekns and clover cannot prosper to-
gethor Our Town Council is trying
hard 10 devise means TO please both
parties concerned. but the chicken own
ers are old women and won't passify
without clover for them, and some
shooting has been the result. We are
asked by two ladies TO write up their
grievances and give another lady hail
Columbia. but we are not looking for
trouble, and desire 10 write nothing Of
fensive to anybody
Just as predicted in the anniversary
OF our noble WashinRtons birth came
and went, and no flag 10 honor hil
memory fioated over our school Now
we wish the one who has been entrust.
ed with this matter of furnishing IN,
flag. to explain where is the Nag ol
where is the money he has TO buy one
with. No more fooling. either pro
duce the flag or tell the reason VIII,

Tho most interesting event OF ou
school term was 20 accept an invita-
tion from Principal Welch TO visit hi
department on Lincoln Day and enio,
an eloquent address by Professor JOIN
Jones, Of Washington. visitor to TN
school, and It opened cur eyes witt
wonder 10 see those bright little moi
and women so quick ia figures anl
under such perfect discipline II woull
be a great calamatiy 30 our school q
lose Mr.. Welch. and should our con-
mission fail TO continue him I'm hi
able work, Il would be a great mis-
take which the community would 500
realize. We honestly believe that W
have the best trio Of teachers I'm IN
county TO its size. In recent inter
view with superintendent Brooks D
verified our belief.
Eddie Wharton. near Shingle Schoc
