At Saline Point

ness getting trips to Saline Point
Monday by way OF Slater, driving
north through Ayres. On the way
out Monday afternoon we had The
pleasure OF adding the names OF "A.
l.. Newton, John Schaurer, Geo.
johnson, j. d. Dennis, c. r. Irefen1
and H. w. Foote. At Ayres We
were well entertained at the hand
some home of John Rupert AMI
pleased to see Mr.. Rupert
again enjoying good health ate:
his case was considered hopeless
Before leaving Mr.. Rupert handed
us his renewal for two years. We
hope his health will be SO that h
may have the opportunity of re-
newing hundred years more if he
sees fit to do so.
After leaving towards Harmony
Tuesday morning we had the pleas
ure of adding the names of Otto
Rupert, Mrs. E. J. Ayres, S..Du-
laney, Eugene Graves, and secur-
ing two years. renewal from Amos
Audsley. At the home of Hammer
Audsley we were not only handed
renewal but invited to eat a
splendid dinner. Their little daugh
ter was suffering from painful
wound caused by stepping on a
nail, which we hope will heal
speedily.
4 After dinner we drove to Geo.
Jetts and were handed his renew
al and also the name OF Amos
Singleton little farther on. Owing
10 storm coming on we turned in
at Ben Cooper's and passed most
of the afternoon during the rain.
We had the pleasure of meeting
Mrs. Cooper for the first time and
must say "Uncle Ben" drew fine
prize in the matrimonial lottery.
We accepted OF their generous hos
pitality by staying fo- an early
supper and also relieved Mr.. Coop
er OF a dollar.
Turning south we added the name
OF Mrs. Victoria Audsley as a new
subscriber. Mrs. Audsley is still
using her crutches from the effects
of her rheumatism but says her Wis
it to Hot Springs helped her very
much.
j. M. Harris, near by, is still a
bachelor and we staxed" him 50
as a result, but promised to do our
best to find him a good "cook".
We are not going to tucl q. SYM
pathetic ear to any widow or old
maids as long as they "pass up"
such a good chancei
Fetsroy Harris gave us his renew
al and Geo. d. Harris gave us his
dollar to again join the Republican
family of readers. AS it was get
ting late we were compelled to
pass our old friend Stephen Harris
and several. other families to get
to N. e. Hodges where we had an
invitation to stop.
We spent most delightful even
ing with them but found them a
little homesick for their former
home in Audrain and Mr.. Hodge
thinks of selling out again. He
has one of the best farms of the
neighborhood. Mr.. and Mrs.
Hodge resided south OF town sew
eral years but like their new home
better.
Wednesday morning We return
ed to Slater stopping at Ayres a
few minutes to add the names of
Mrs. o. B. Kemper, Sam McClain
and r. C. Steele. We found the
Jolly blacksmith w. II. Foote all
excited and ready for scrap. He
said he made up purse among the
boys for a box of booze, ordered
it and later sent Mr. Officer, neigh
Dor to Slater to bring it oIt on
foot. Mr.. Officer, he says, luggea
ii out but became scared and car
ried it back to Slater. Tie town
was too dry for Mr.. Foote, but SO
far there has been no report of a
Scrap
At Slater w. r. VanBooven gave
us R. H. Carr's renewal and Joe
Giger of West Glasgow also hand
ed us a renewal as did W. o. Fox
of that place.
Except for the weather the trip
was one of the most pleasant we
ever took and we thank all who
helped make it so.
