Here we are again, going to tell all
we know. and some things we don't
know, and all we can guess at
One of these things is, it is dreadful
warm weather we are having now.
This usually quiet neighborhood was
thrown into quite a state Of excite
ment last Sunday on learning that one
OF George Wright's boys had met with
a dreadfully close call for hls life by
the knife route. Mr.. Wright used to
be one OF our neighbors, and we would
hate TO see one of his children taken
in the prime Of his young manhood.
Mrs. Wright was visiting in this neigh
borhood when she received the sad
tidings, and started from Mr.. Lawson's
about 3 80 O'Clock They must have
driven nearly all night.
Mrs John Cassiday is very low with
typhoid fever. DR.. Long, from Beaver,
was out to see her Sunday night.
J. ii. WhisEant is holding a series of
meetings at the Garrett school house,
and despite the busy time OF year the
honse is filled every night. He preach
ed Sunday morning and again in the
evening at Happy Hollow school house.
He doesn't know just how long the
meetings will continue, but all of this
week at least.
Ivan Swan and Dan Spidel went to
Higgins Monday. returning Wednes-
day
Two of our young men engaged in a
fist fight on the road home from
church, and as result one of them
has a pair of lovely dark blue (or
would you call them black?) eyes, and
the other is minus a few patches of
cuticle. Now, boys, don't do that any
more, or some might think you had
been to Chicago as Roosevelt dele
gate at the convention.
Our neighbor, Mr.. Allen, not only
found his farm that he went to look
for, but also wife and three young
helpers to run it. Lucky man Mr..
Allen, here are our best wishes for all
and We hope that you will conclude to
stay here on your old homestead. But
what is one community's loss is some
other ones gain. Or, as the Dutchman
said, "Vot vos one looses is der oder
fellers looses To not"
Mr.. ald Mrs. r. ID. Thomas spent
Sunday afternoon Mt Will Nestes'
ditto Grandma ana Grandpa Adams,
Roy Adams, Mr.. Burtling and Ret,
Whisnant.
Joney Henson spent Saturday night
and Sunday at h. d. Thomas's, Also,
Elijah Smith spent Sunday at the same
place.
Hershel Allen is having his wheat
harvested. Mr.. Caskey is doing the
work with his new binder, which he
purchased last Monday.
District No. 100 lie having a called |
meeting to-day to determine whether
they shall pay full time to the teacher
who taught their school last winter, or
not, there being a goodly number of
days that there was no school on ac-
count OF the severe winter, lack OF
fuel, and so forth.
T. O.. Black has decided to quit the
farm this fall. He is talking now of
leaving it in care of his uncle, Mr.,
Chestnut, who will reside on it.
Joe Micheps baby is better. 1t was
a very sick baby.
We began to think when our HERALD
was SO long putting in an appearance
that our editor had gone to Chicago to
join the scrappers at the convention.
Talking about the women in politics
and hair pulling Well, | guess
Uonder what the men think about the
&, o. ?. representatives at Chicago
could women beat that2
Someone tapped me on the head and
said qIit. So here go.
