Hooks, our tonsorial artist, has been
endeavoring to induce Tobe Moseley
to have his whiskers cut of.
The corners Of the foundation un
der the Hog Ford church are missing
and Columbus Allsop and Altos Peck,
two pillars of the church, have been
appointed committee to hold up the
building until the foundation can be
replaced
Miss Rosyola Moseley came to the
postoftice yesterday expecting a letter
and was so disappointed at not get
ting one that she let her mule 90 In a
slow walk all the way home.
The protracted meeting the Dog Hill
church has wrought wonderful
change in this community. Even the
fish will not bite on Sunday now, anil
movement has been started to stop
Gander Creek from running on the
Sabbath.
Sickness has about died out in this
community. !
Tobe Moseley has been hauling dirt
and putting it in the bottom Of his pond
this week in order to make the water
rise high enough for his geese to swim.
Ellick Hellwanger has swapped for
pew pistol and it is believed that he
is preparing to shoot a man as soon a
he can get his witness together.
Little Fiddity Flinders got hold Of
Mrs. Isaac Hellwanger's hat the 9TH
er day at church and devoured sever
al punches of artificial cherries.
Staying with thing may tend to
make something out of that thing, but
Mrs. Sim Flinders does not believe so,
as she has remained with Sim now for
going on: thirty years.
The congregation of the Hog Ford
church was thrown into spell Of ner-
tvuus excitement last Sunday morning
through the carelessness Of the preach
er. During the sermon a fly lit on the
preachers nose and the congregation
expected any minute to see him shoe
| 1t off, but he neglected to do so, and
very soon the crowd rose up in fit of
nervousness and the preacher was not
fAllowed to continue until the fly had
moved
The Wild Onion School Teacher.
While it is not good policy to laud
any public man at less than regular
advertising rates, on account of the
possibility Of jealously arising we feel
it is cur duty to say something In favor
of the teacher of the Wild Onion
school. There are many shrewd men
i'm our midst, but none who can hold
candle to the subject Of this sketch.
He has gradually grown to be smart
man, and like all other self-made per-
sons. he started out at birth without
knowing anything at all. The Teacher
| is a gentleman of very keen foresight
and had he thought about it in time, he
might have become a great detective.
For an illustration, two weeks ago, he
learned, through some mysterious
source that the school building had be-
come infested with f1eas. Where they
come from he could not tell, but they
probably got in one night when the
door was left standing open. Not to
be daunted by them or their determin-
ed conduct, the teacher Immediately
launchel a campaign to rid the premi-
ses of their presence, and after having
tried several kinds of patent flea ex-
tterminators with no apparent avail he
Kit upon very happy plan, Which
eliminated in great success. The
Wild Onion school is very popular
over a large scope of country, and the
teachers plan was to get the people
aroused over some public question
and then call a mass meeting at the
school building. Fearing this might
cause arguments to arise, he dropped
that idea, and insteal, arranged a big
basket supper to be held in the build
i ing on the coming second Saturday
night, and invited everybody within
several miles. The house, of course,
was filled to overflowing, and the eve
niag passed off with the best Of order
and when the throng departed they
| took with them, not only the best
wishes of the teacher, but also all
the fieas without knowing it.
