such a man as Albert Butler, for
while we do not agree politically
he is as good and true a man as
either county affords and made
a good representative while
there.

A 'Possum Hunt.

Chas. B, Hina the jovial pur-
veyor to the people, gave to his
Sunday School class and a few
invited guests the treat of their
lives last Friday night and one
they will never forget, it being
nothing less than an old fashion
ed possum hunt. The march and
the yell was most enjoyable but
when a real live ''possum" was
''treed" the exuberance of the
boys knew no bounds and they
each one laughed so loud that
neighbors thought it was Jack
Tabor. One of the amusing in
cidents was when Bassett New
com who had gone along to do
the climbing, turned loose all
hollis and came down out of the
tree, when he got close to the
possum which was so big he con-
cluded it was a coon. Bassett
had had one meeting with a coon
and came out second best and he
did not care to repeat the exper-
fence and hence quietly retreat
ed posthaste. His lordship was
finally got to earth and killed.
Ellie Wick agreed to skin him
for his meat and sell the hide
and turn the proceeds into the
S. S. treasury. Those who en-
joyed the hunt were: Ivan Hina
Weldon Hina, Edward and Shell
by Haywood, Eliza Wick, Chas.
Stewart, Thos. Holloman, and
brother, Hubert Crider, Ernest
Minner, Bassett and Clarence
Newcom, Nesbit Fowler, Wilson

sity, and since 1875 he has been
Dean of the Law Department of

Quite a romance eliminated
last Friday when Miss Minnie
balllnger, a most attractive
young lady Of the Post Oak Sec

were not forgotten.

Mrs. Edgar Howerton.. and made
his home there for several
months last year.
The bride was an orphan, who
was reared and educated by Mrs.

They will make their home in
Greensboro where the groom
now resides and has a lucrative
position.

Other Big Land Shows.

If the Northwest farmer will only get
busy and get his good stuff together he
can exhibit at most all the land shows.
The Pittsburg Land Show will be be-
tween October 18th and October 28th.
The Omaha Land Show will be between
October Is and 2S, 1911. Then comes the
New York Land Show with $ll 900 in
prizes; dates-November 3rd to Novem-
ber 18th. After the New York Land
Show is the big Chicago Show, starting
Saturday, November 18th, and ending
December 9th.
The Northwest farmers own show-the
Northwestern Land Products Show, at
st. Paul-will probably commence De-
cember 18th and continue to December
oath, 1911, and so, you see, a farmer or
community can exhibit at all the shows.
Every good exhibit at any one of these
shows is going to help bring new settlers
to that place.
