ADELAIDE.
 Good health and fine weather is being enjoyed in this community at present. People will be planting po- tatoes and oats if the weather holds out pretty a few more days.
 Some people may wonder just where Adelaide is located. I will explain right here for the benefit of those who are not acquainted with this part of this big, fine world. It is about four miles east of the city of Denmark and six miles north of Bradford, on the Oil Trough and Rus sell road.
 So there!
 Smallpox and humps are still ire quent. but unwelcome visitors of the country.
 w. B. Whitlow, who has been at Latonia for the past few weeks, re- turned home Saturday.
 L. A. Edens is moving his father to Bradford, where he will reside this year, if he don't get home sick and come back to the hills.
 The Peoples Telephone Company has sure got a fine business line. If everybody will stand at the phone all the time because you can't ring any one. But call bells are out of the question, because we can't hear quite so much news if the line is disconnect- ed in a place or two.
 Constable R. E. Winchester has been riding about the country summonlng few subjects to appear at the court house on certain day in the near future, or is canvassing for justice of the peace, I don't know which.
 MT. Buckner has been putting up some new wire fence. MT. Sloan has been blowing.
 Dolton Burgess is setting his posts for his garden fence. Andrew Van Wrinkle says he has got good iron gray mule. l.. A. Edens hauled about a wagon ! load of egg cases last week for Glen dale Poultry Yards.
 1 Two strange preachers are carry | ing on a series of meetings at Thirty seven this last week, with light crowds on account of bad weather and roads. ..,
 Lewis Edens says he hopes he will get just one more vote than MT. Winchester, for road overseer. There are lots of candidates now A. M. Johnson said he was going to run, but never said what from-Mr. O- Brien's bulldog, l suppose. .'' f I agree with Hard Times on the convict question. I believe they should be worked on the county roads where everyone will get the benefit of it. There is just one bad place m the roads out here, and that IS from A to z. >- :,
 Say, Slim Jim, where is the ls- land
 The Denmark correspondent wants to know if the chicken prizes are roosters. What are not hens are. Wonder why the Diaz correspond ent signs his real name; because he wants to, though, I suppose. Please do mot take any exceptions to what say, L. B. Phant, for 1t IS all in good humor and fun. L. A. Edens was chopplng . push down last week, and chip hit him in the mouth, which caused him to hop much around, already.
 MT. Adams is penning his buff Dr. pingtons.
 suppose summer is near at hand. for MT. Wick has received his new lot of Shanghai hats.
 Roy said Mrs. Wiseman was going to get all kinds of thoroughbred chickens, except the high shanks. That must be new breed, unless ne means the Langshams.
 Ernie Winchester has cut a new road along the north side of his plant ation. David Wineman is weatherboarding his goat house. ! MT. Steve Wick has traded his young mule, so you widows had better look out. Wishing the Independent success, I will saw off.
