Pumpkintown Notes

We Pumpkins suppose it is our turn
TO pc on a, wonder now. IA Farmer
is down ,ion us because we got little
slice of his news once. But we hadn't
the least idea that the news he men
tions was anybody's private property
Furtherm2re, we're at sea about that
depreciation" which he says was COM
mltted here. The only conclusion we
can arrive at is that he refers to an in
;ccident which happened in Oolenoy sec
Non, If that is the case, and he wants
US to tell about that, we can't use that
kind OF language. He requests that we
tell the news of our own town: but
Oolenow isn't any more our town than
is Pleasant Grove. However, to make
amends so far as possible for the dam
age done him when we trespassed on
his news territory, we leave it to him
nm to write an article setting forth the
':depredation" that he insists was com
nitted in ali its vivid coloring and with
q little red button on top.
An old tin can and piece of broken
tile which they had picked up by the
roadside served as heater for Albert
Masters and Green McJunkins as they
came home from Pickens last Thursday
night. The pan was set on the floor of
the wagon body and the piece of tile
set on end in the pan and fire made
under it, The blaze burned out above
the top of the novel heater, and thus
they had light as we'll as warmth.
Now, while Oolenoy is boasting about
her splendid mail facilities, would be
good time for US to mention Pleasant
Groves excellent female beauty. But
here we are, grabbing IA Farmers"
news again.
