ELLENDALE.

AS we are short Of news items this week we
desire 10 be permitted the space 10 pay our re
specls TO 6. K. c. Tor the compliment he paid
Us iu last weeks Chronicle. We have always
respected this slack witted gentleman as being
truthful, but when be has no better argument
TO advance than to resort TO a base fabrication,
we begin to feel somewhat skeptieal Of his
honor To repeat his words, that q man
went into our field and loaded the hay from
three acres on one load.' we Will answer by
saying that II is in bad faith to resort 10 per-
sonalities, even n Il were truthful, OF is II
lack Of better judgment For the benefit Of
our misguided friends and brother correspond
snt, we will recall the instance about winch he
so literally boasts. When harvesting red
clover several years ago, we had filed every
available place and had three shock rows LEFT
IN the field, a row Of which had made as a big
load to draw to the barn; two men who had
helped US, wanted a load for their weeks work
at S. each, which took two rows; a gentleman
in town, who has since achieved quite little
prominence as representative in the upper
house of our law making power, asked to have
the other row, or as he claims, the other load,
and gave us s. in cash. But in our absence ne
drove big team in the field and took the
one or two acres. We, on returning nome, OF
course demonstrated somewhat. but upon his
declaration that S. was for a load OF hay, we
gave in to the greedy and dishonest act. and
he had the honor Of drawing the greatest load
Of hay ever seen fully three tons worth $50 for
50. So much for g. X. C's. Dig yarn OF false
hoods. Il is with great reluctance we expose
his character and lack OF love for the truth
and fear OF Goa and Master And who will
believe his statements hereafter surely
not as
Last Saturday our boys crossed bats or
played a return game OF base ball with that
strong Owens team, who laughed so heartily
when they played here but 1t is well for them
that they had their laugh first as the score on
Saturday was Is to in favor OF Glendale We
told them to sit mp and take notice and il is |
supposable that they did so.
On Saturday afternoon James Pettyjohn, bet. /
ter known as Jim Cheese, because ne eats a |
whole pound Of cheese at a single meal and |
drives Rob Clendanieps four N ule log team.
While loading logs near town he attempted to
unhitch the leaders, when one Of them kicked
him terrible blow on the forehead just over
the eye, that sent him senseless and bleeding to
the earth with his scalp split. He crawled
home weak and sick from loss OF blood and
still bleeding. Dr. Samson took up the arteries
and sewed up the cash and he is still living.
Thomas Baker has now opened up his ice
cream parlOr in the Henry Warren house op-
pOsite the Queen Anne station, which he re-
Gently purchased and he will have separate
apartments for the white and colored patrons.
This is a fine establishment and would do
,redit to a much larger town. He has dis.
played large sign which looks like business
md We predict for him success in his new en-.
erprise.
The continued rains is perplexing to our
aTmers ana the greatest problem that now
onfronts them Is how can the wheat crop oe
harvested as much OF II now stands In water a.,
nd mud where no teams or machinery can /
each It, II looks as II the old time sythe and !
radle Will have TO be resorted TO- but where !
vii men be fOuRd to handle these antiques is
me Of the questions. {
The most delightful event OF the season was
hat Of the Children's Day exercises at the
hurch last Sunday evening. 1t was the finest
isplay Of talent and training ever seen here d
nd much is due to the arduos labors Of Rev y
iopkins. Miss Marie Nile was the star of the 4
ccassiOn her sweet songs and childish recit- b
$50 made her great favorite. The affair was
great financial success, as over slOO was I
aised for the charitable object.
Our minstrel troupe gave their performance G.
Lincoln on Tuesday evening and was much b
ppreciated and received every courtesy from Fl
le people OF Lincoln. Paul Pry. "
