The steamer is actually running. She
looks mighty good to us. She IS not
very beautiful or Swanlike and they,
say she is not rapid, but she sure 90
look good. We just jumped up and
down for Joy to see her. We wish her
all good luck and will do everything in
our power to help her make success.
1t is good: news to hear that the
roads south of Jensen are to tbe I'M,
proved soon-The people down that
way surely are good Christians to put
up with such conditions with so little
fuss. 1t is as much as the average
horse wants to do to pull an empty
wagon from DR.. McClinton's to the
church. The ruts are actually hub
deep. 1t cannot be fixed too soon.
We were much wrought up. over a
visit of several Ministers of the Gospel
of the Norman church, last week. In
each case they asked for "the man of
the house" The women are much
wrought up and have decided that
while it would be decided improve
ment to have several wives to help do
the cooking. and to be handy with the
tubs, they will not stand for any who
are prettier or younger, none but old
or ugly wives need apply along this
ridge.

Mrs. Miller the infant class. Miss
Maud Miller was elected Organist, she
having served very acceptaby for sew
eral months in place of her sister.
Foxy, Miss McCormick's fox terrier,
had quite a thrilling experience the first
of the week. He was taken to the
beach for an outing, and decided to
have some fun on his own account, so
he started on private tour down the
river beach. When the party was ready
to return home, Foxy was not to be
found. They left very reluctantly and
hoped for the best, but feareda wildcat
or snake had "seen him first" The
next day the first boat load to go over
spied Foxy on the wharf, waiting and
watching. He did not wait for the boat
to land, but made a flying leap and
landed square on deck happy and
wiser dog. He has not said a word
about his experiences, but a night on
that lonely beach will probably last him
the rest of his small life.
