Uncle John Compton and Uncle
George Borland were business callers
at Butler Saturday.
The writer learned that one of our
young bachelors was sadly disap-
pointed when a certain young lady
would arrive here for a summers S
vacation, and that she would have a
partner for life. Young bachelor,
don't get discouraged. There is
plenty of fish in the sea.
Mrs. w. C. Turpin will be confined
to her bed for several months with a
dislocated back. She will be glad to

| Lige Bohanon, who has been here
on short visit, returned to his home
in New Mexico last Saturday.
We take notice of the columns Of
Pleasant Ridge Items in the Republi.
can-Press where Comette speaks OF
Farmer John assisting the Democrat
candidates of the county ticket. He
will stand by every loyal Democrat
and fight Cannonism until the 'judg.
ment day, and if Comettes composer
makes the race for Recorder on the
Republican ticket, he will need some
thing more than the assistance OF
Cannon and Cannonism.
Uncle Bennie Young, a former resi-.
dent of this county, but now resides
in New. Mexico, is reported very
poorly.
Peat Winano and Walter Snodgrass
caught quite catfish the other day,
it being as usual fish story, the
fish being SO large, it dropped off the
hook, but they got it out by fishing
again, it weighed five lbs.
Miss Dora Beard and Mrs. Nina
Mckinley were pleasant callers in
Butler Saturday.
There are several bad cases of
whooping cough. Emmet Young's
baby is very low with the disease at
present.
Mrs. John Harshaw's many friends
viii be glad to hear that her arm is
doing fine, and she is looking well.
She still has her arm in a bandage
yet and was able to be in Spruce Sat-
urday evening.
