tinuously during the last few years
and should result in excellent fishing
if the law is observed. However, it is
common comment, and always has
been here, that law infraction at the
lake is a usual thing, but it is a hear
say proposition and nobody ever comes
forth with any evidence. Whether
there is any illegal fishing going on
Is therefore only a matter of c%onjec-
ture with us, yet If the matter should
be gone after in the right way perhaps
a fairly good supply of nets could be
picked up here and there.

ity of 76, the vote being 1876 in favor
and 60 against. The vote cast, 1876,
was not the full vote of the district
but the majority is clean-cut and
leaves no doubt as to the desire of
the people. 1t is a progressive move
and never will be regretted. The fact
that eighty voted at the cleo
ton shows that a big per cent of the
ladies Of the district are interested in
school matters and might indicate that
neither side was going to allow de-
feat by this vote staying at home. The
ladies are deserving of a compliment
for the way they turned out and we
believe they should be ~banqueted for
their demonstration of loyalty.

Down in the southwestern section
of Texas a gentleman by the name of
Patten was running for the state SEN

terested in the election, took an active
part in the campaign. One day he met
a young man from the forks of the
creek, and after inquiring about hrs
father, mother and the rest of the
family, discussing the weather, crops,
stocks and things in general, said:
We'll, Bill, is the old man going to
support Mr. Patten this fall?"

and after some little hesitation re-
piled:

GIRL WAS MOT "FIBBIne"
Very Good Reason Why Mrs. Adams
Was Unable to Receive Call
Of Her Pastor.

Rev. DR.. Smith was acknowledged a
great preacher and he was also a
close student. But he was no pastor
and had horror of making pastoral
calls. One day he heard an address
which convinced the dear old man
that by not visiting his parishioners
he had not perhaps fulfilled his duties
as spiritual leader. SO he determined
to call on each member of his church,
and taking the roster of the church
he decided to do it alphabetically. The
first name was Mrs. Adams, so to Mrs.
Adams house resolutely went the
faithful pastor next afternoon. But
Mrs. Adams was not at home, said
the maids
Not at homer" echoed the pastor.
"N.n-o, sir" answered the somewhat
embarrassed girl.
But the pastor, not knowing why
she was embarrassed, thought per-
haps the girl was "hbbing," so he
persisted.
When will Mrs. Adams RETURN" he
asked.
Il really don't know" answered the
maid.
