BULLETINS

Miss Kay Price announce their we'd
ding which was scheduled to take
place June 3, will be postponed in
definitely.
May 30-Dr. M. /. Crobe, will
doubtless be known widely as a sci
enlist in few more years. He is
now making some valuable expert
ments. The greatest, perhaps, was
the one he made today. He had heard
that if a mans head be removed in
scientific way the patient would live.
He amputated frogs head, but the
patient died. He will try the thing
over and soon hopes to be able to re-
move human head so the pa
tent will live. This would doubtless
prevent lot of unnecessary talk.
May 31.-Our town drunkard, F.E.
w. Clothes, while lying in the road
sleeping the other day received bad
injury. A wagon, the driver of
which was also drunk, passed over
his left leg, crushing it badly. DR..
Cal o. Nell officiated, removing the
limb, and grating good wooden one
onto it at the knee. The physician is
giving him calomel to aid in the pro-
cess. Some say, however, that the
minister, Rev. E. Err Ahh, will be
the next one to get the job.
May 31.-Dr. Cal o. Nell and Miss
Eddie Bull spent the afternoon gath
ing wild onions.
May 91.-Mr. T. Bull Bugg and
Miss Kay Price announce that they
have suspended indefinitely their en-
gagement.
June DIR. M. |. Crobe says ne
has grown tired of walking, so the 9TH
er day he purchased bicycle from a
junk wagon which came thru. The
cycle is in fine shape save it is pretty
rusty and the tire is off the hind
wheel and the front wheel is entirely
gone. The local blacksmith is fitting
a buggy wheel on it. Doc says he
will not attempt to keep rubber tires
on it and that he hopes auto owners
will take a lesson by his example and |
discard theirs, thereby saving money.
June If. EW. Clothes died this
in the cow shed of DR.. Cal |
G. Nell, which the doc is using tenn
porarily as a horsepital. The hour of
his succumbing is not known, as the
doc found him dead when he went to
milk. Doc says the reason the oper-
ltiOn was not success was because
he leg was a wooden one. Next time
ne will use the leg of an OK and is
sure it will work. He is anxious for
mother man to get his leg mashed so
ne can try it. A number of villagers
soon congregated and the reporter,
Sol Eks, was sent for. In the pockets
If the deceased were found to-wit:
)ne pocket knife, the large blade was
broken the other one good; a marble,
| chew of tobacco, piece of chewing
yum much chewed, a bottle stopper,
wo pills, safety pin, a pipe stem
md one-half shoe string. These the
loo kept for his bill, and all he can
Use. He will use the knife as a surg
cal knife, the marble is painted so it
IAN be used for glass eye-only it is
ed, he hopes some one will get an
Eye put out soon. The bottle stopper
will come in handy, he chews wax
md tobacco and also smokes, ne will
give the pills to the old negro altho
lie does not know what they are. He
'aid he did the work for charity and
lid not expect so much pay. DR.. NJ.
/. Crobe is mad at him now because
he did not get the case for himself and
he booty too. Funeral arrangements
will be made later.-Clipping from
