The Bride.

She has been prospecting all sum-
mer at the resorts for a meal ticket,
and has finally landed the unsuspect-
ing boob.
To him she is the dearest girl in the
world, and she will probably turn out
to be just that, provided she acquires
a taste for lot of things that she
never had at home, and most of
them do.
Every bride expects to jump from
Goldfish to lobster la Newburg when
she gets married and is disappointed
if she lands only half way.
Thank my lucky stars 1 am still a
bachelor. Nobody can tell me when
1 can have a nickel for car fare.
1 had these things in mind, and
thought I would jot them down for the
| "colyum.'' Can anybody refute them
Not on your life.
Yours sincerely, A. It.
Being a married man and still hap
Ply about the bride of ten years ago,
we can not resist this opportunity to
call A. T. a poor fish. AS there are
stronger. We will be glad to publish
any replies to A. T. which may find
their way to our desk.
The President.
The cares of the job are upon him:
He's weighted with trouble and
strife;
Confronted by perplexing problems.
Which harass a presidents life.

To be a great man of the hour;
To sit in the seat of the mighty,
And WELD indisputable power.

Notes from Fair PLAY.

Fair Play, June Especial: Farm
ing, fishing and quilting seem to be
the topic of the day. Every one has
a kindly greeting for his fellow-man
since the rain. All are quite busy
with plow and hoe, and some with
cradle are gathering the golden
grain.
During the "too-wet-to-wOrk" sea-
son some OF the boys busted them
selves over about the river with hook
and line, bringing in some Of the
flnny tribe, which, after being nicely
cooked, "tickled the palate and made
the heart glad"
one OF the most enjoyable occa-
sions of this section recently was the
quilting given by the Ladies' Aid So
ciety at the home of Mrs. S. P. Strib-
ling. The ladies Of the Baptis. Mis-
Slonary Society were invited and
came with needle, thimble and scis-
sors. All were soon as busy as bees
around the quilts. and the chatter
was like unto the twittering Of many
birds. We soon had two quilts com
pleted and ready for sale. About
O'Clock dinner was announced, and
all repaired to the dining room,
wher; a most sumptuous dinner, pre-
pareu by some Of our experienced
and good cooks, was served The az
ternoon was spent in pleasant CONVEX
sation, and at intermission the guests
were served with cake and lemonade.
All expressed themselves as having
spent a most enjoyable day. The So
ciety had as visitors Mrs. ]. ID. Shell
don and Mrs. Foster, and Miss Ruth
Cox, from Westminster and Seneca.
