And nifty.

Next summer.
DR.. Kanaly's many friends are just
a little bit disgrEntled and are losing
faith In bis weather forecasts. The
Doctor said last Saturday 1--WE will
have no rain till August 3rd." and the
very next day the wet stuff came
down In great balls. He now says he
said "lf the wind did not get In q GER
tain direction we woG.d have no rain
till August 3rd." "Ifn IL rains the
Doctor says 'if," and "if" IL does not
rain as be predicts, he says ''if," etc.
Hence, his friends are q little bit
juberous Of his 'if' predictions.
Miss Ida Miller gave her young
friends a delightful lawn party 81 her
beautiful home, just northwest OF this
city, Friday night. About fifty sweet
girls and gallant boys we're present
and 8 Jolly time was reeIed OF. Miss
Miller is a beautiful and charming
girl and is quite popular. She was
quite niftlly assisted In entertaining
her guests BY Misses Grace Collins and
Nettie Byrns and Herbert Collins and
Lester Miller. The evening was spent
like the passing OF q sweet dream.
MAJOR REUBEN HARLOW In TOWN.
Major Reuben Harlow, the grand old
bard OF Youngs Greek, was in town
Saturday to get q shave and haircut.
He now very much resembles King
Edward. Major Harlow and the Owl
stepped into the 'postof1ce" and while
waiting for our mail" Major Harlow
mentioned W.. J.. Bryan's name and
then reeled of the following toast to
the great commoner:
That crown Of thorns we know well, |
now,
Is that which hurts the poor mans
brow;
Now, my friends, you must keep in
line,
And the Presidents seat will sure
be mine.
He was crucifed on q cross Of gold,
And the poor were left cut In the
cold.
But soon will come the jubilee,
In 1912 we'll all be free
On that great and good election
morn
When Billie Bryan blows his horn.
And II you are faithful to your
friend,
Wen oil be there at the end.
He'll give you q fat Office IL there's
any to spare,
For be has got lots Of good friends
everywhere.
