DR.. II. p. Render was sure sight
This week. when his wife finished
clubbing him up, but we can't dis
cover how he aroused her ire. 1t
was Sunday too and out on the
golf links in plain view of the pub.
lie He had been so kind to her,
too, fixing up the ball on the tee
and holding her extra clubs. Just
as she was swinging her club II. p.
stepped forward to give her diff
icrent club. She saw him too late
and let go, telling her husband to
the ground and cutting deep cash
in bOth cheek and back OF the
head. 1t looked like very serious
affair for a time, but the doctor
never gave up but has remained on
the job. 1t is needless to say the
wife has suffered nearly as much as
her sponse. in view OF tha accident.
A. p. Knuckey and Sid Villines
were Lamar callers last week.
j. G. Kibben, who has been sick
in Kansas City, came home Satnr-
day.
Vaughn Swafford who has been in
