Jack brought home your letter this
morning, after he had carried il In
his pocket several days. He says h.
didn't but ] hate to blame the post
master for the delay. A postal CLERK
must lead sweet life trying 70 figure
out who's who, when there are 90
many of the same name.
This week two McClures were in
town. George Mcclure and wife Of
Boulder, who are visiting their cousins
the Ira Brown family, and F. J. Nc
Clure Of st. Louis, brother Of Mrs.
Sprigg Shackleford.
Oh. never mind the postoffice busi-
ness, let's talk about something else.
The town is lively place these days
while the district institute is in ses-
sion. The school ma-ams enjoyed a
fish fry at the Hartman grove this
week, and such good time they had:
