When two peppery old chaps like
Commodore Renshaw and Gen. Fair
ly-one from the navy and the other
from the army-both widowers. and
one having son and the other a
daughter-both parents aching to ar.
que and discuss. and neither willing
to give an inch-are set to live side
by side. what's the natural conse
quence!
Wrangle? Why. they wrangled
from the very first day. That was
about the Spanish war-as to whether
the army or navy brought about
peace. The next was on politics, the
next on religion. and they got so they
wrangled about the weather. They
wrangled. and yet they visited each
other.
"Egad. commodore. you are an old
fossil, and your words don't count.
and I'll never darken your door again,
sir!" Gen. Fairly would exclaim as
he left the house Of the former In a
huff; but he would be over again next
day with something new to argue
about.
"Egad, sir, but for the navy and
Santiago where would you dough
boys have been-where. sir?" the com
modore would exclaim with very red
face. I'VE saved you. sir. and here
you are, pretending to tell me Of war
Yes. sir. and I'll go home. sir. and
want you to keep your hens at home
or I'll shoot them, sir!"
But the hens continued to roam n
his garden, and he didn't shoot, They
thought they were in deadly earnest
those two old heroes-but they
weren't. They were blufing.

age limit and we're retired they wen

were abusing the government instead
of each other. At that time Eunic,

Miss Eunioe wanted to look very

defeated she threw her weapon or

Before high noon all was settled

Remembered on His Birthday.

Rev. G. J. Bean was very happily
surprised Tuesday evening, Sept. 6,
upon returning to his home, which is
at the residence of his son-in-law,
Mr.. j. H. B. Carson, to find between
forty and fifty of his children, grand
children, and Observation-Disclosures
assembled with well laden baskets
and table already spread to help him
celebrate his S7th birthday. He had
been kept away from the house all
the afternoon by one ruse or anoth-
er by various members of the family,
but as night approached he began to
get restless and finally announced
that it was time to go home, as it
was almost night. When he got in
sight of the residence and saw the
large assemblage of his defendants,
he said, "Well, they tricked me-" Not
withstanding his great age,ne enter
ed into the spirit of the occasion and
was greatly pleased with it. All of
his living children were present and
almost all of his grandchildren and
great-grandchildren. Bro. Bean has
lived a very useful life and one of
great activity and no man who ever
lived in our town or county COM
mands greater respect for his loyalty,
morality, temperance and christiani-
ty. May he live to a still greater
ripe old age.
Bro. Bean wishes to return his sin
cere thanks to the good ladies who so
graciOusly remembered him with
beautiful and rare flowers on the oc-
caeioa of his birthday.

The Herald has been importuned
by a number of Ohio county citizens,
also including rural mail car
riers, to go after" the county Off
Gals who are supposed to be respon-
sible for the terrible condition of
our public roads. We have suggest
ed to these gentlemen that they come
out in print themselves and detail
their complaints. The Herald has
had some editorial comment on this
subject, but our efforts would per-
haps have much more and better eff
feet If backed up by the honest sem
timent and words of people who have
more to say in the matter.

is on a new through railroad North

boat making two trips a week be-

found anywhere.

both propositions.
