on Tuesday, July p.
That fearful piece of road between
the Jones farm and the George Spencer
corner has been repaired.
Clint Rucker and George Eagen both
lodged into Hamlin with two loads of
hogs Wednesday before the rain.
Summer is passing and if | were sure
that next winter would be a repetition
of last | would take to the woods.
Dalbert Rowland is working for Albert
johnson during harvest and Sam Dutler
has resumed work for Art AnciauX.
Bert and Arthur McNutt came down

their brother Marshall through haying.
The quiet of the sabbath was broken

mower and the Gee haw" of the corn

Captain Adams led the Greeley ball
team against the Melville boys Sunday.

II to 4 In favor of Melville.
A fine portrait of Miss Alice Struthers
of Sixth Avenue, Des MOines, appeared
in The Evening Tribune, Saturday, in
connection with the announcement of
her engagement to Harry ID. Saint John.

news of interest here. Miss Struthers
has been a guest in the Stanley home
several times and remembered in social
circles as a charming lady.
Early Friday morning before the lit
tie village of Hamlin resumed its indus,
trial buzz a shaggy looking stranger was
seen to leave the railroad and go saunt-
ering up the cement walk past Peter
Mortensen's barber shop. Hans John
sons big bull dog which was doing on
the store porch slowly raised his massive
head from between his fore paws and
s%crutinized the approaching hobo. -
then terminating a long low growl with
a scornful little bark he walked out and
squared himself before the weary sad
vagrant as much as to say I'm the
whole police force here, now you GET
The offensive stranger wisely backed up
to the railroad and began to count ties
TO the southwark; then Old Bull return,
ed to the porch and resumed his doZe.
MAGIC AND TRAGIC
When over the heather
We rambled together
Love did the weaving
Then we ceased grieving.
Life was so sweet
AS | sat by her feet
Dreaming and scheming
Scheming and dreaming!
Oh, the plans that we laid
In that cool summer shade!
l shudder to tell
How they crumbled and fell.
Mid their ruins we weep
Meath their ruins we'll sleep.
