HAPPY HOLLOW

The old-timers are responding.
We have a letter from Mr.. and
Mrs. A. l.. Groom. of Arnold's Park,
Iowa, in response to the invitation ex-
tended to the old-timers through the
columns of the Pioneer to assist in re-
painting the little church on the
trail" Mr.. Groom's check for one
dollar bears this inscription in the
over left-hand corner Paint for the
Happy Hollow dhurch." Mrs.
Groom's check for the same amount
bears this inscription, For n Pie
1t Is evident hat the Grooms feel that
they have missed something when they
missed the pie supper at Happy Hol-
.ow. This is the first response from
the old-timers from a distance. 1t
will be remembered that in the good
old homestead days Mn and Mrs.
Groom opened the door of their little
shack to the people of Happy Hollow
for religious services. Under the shell
ter Of that hospitable roof many hap
by times were had. After Sunday
school the congenial folk of the Hol-
low were wont to linger a wee bit
longer-sometimes quite a bit longer.
They visited. The popular songs were
gotten down and sung to the accompa-
niment of the Groom piano-the only
one in the neighborhood at hal time,
Needless to say, the people of Happy
Hollow made good use of it. Many
bachelors congregated there Sunday
after Sunday, and it is safe to say
| that the wholesome influence Of that
Christian home had great influence
for good on the lives of the young
men far away from homes where q
woman's presence made life brighter
In due time, the Grooms moved
,way, and although the people OF
Happy Hollow were given permission
to continue to use the shack for Sun.
day services, there was something
lacking at the Sunday gatherings. The
walls and roof were still there to pro

After a time, however, the people Of
the neighborhood decided that tho

would be a church building. So W.

Jackson County Snakes
In Proposal Meeting

In Proposal Meeting
Ed Barr and the writer were out
after chickens Sunday and in driving
through a prairie dog town eight or
ten miles northwest of here, Ed saw
a big rattlesnake summing himself at
n of the prairie dog holes. He
jumped out with the shot gun to
attend to the snake but just as he
threw the gun up to shoot he heard
a whir in front Of him and had Just
time to jump back and dodge the
snake he had almost stepped ON.
He shot that snake and another one
right by his side spoke up and he
found there were snakes in front
of him, snakes to the left Of him
and snakes to the right of him and
all of them were looking for a fight.
Don't know how many were killed
but he kept on shooting as long as
any live ones showed up and then fred
several shots into the prairie dog hole
which was one mass of snakes, and
it is safe to say that at least twenty
or twenty-five snakes took the final
count. We have heard Of rattlers
denning up for the winter and this
may have been the occasion for this
gathering or it may have been some
gathering called for by the Richards
primary law as it is getting about
that time of the year.-Belvidere
