rama, which loses the glamour and
attractiveness at the approach of
bright and beautiful summer; an ad-
vent of such hopeful promises of hap
piness-a created magniicence of the
Omnipotent. But again the charm is
broken by the season of all seasons, a
vision of dawn, or the glorious autumn
nal days, pale the other seasons of the
year into insignifcance. The master
work, deXterity of art, is likened to
the reflection of the golden sunshine
on the babbling brook in comparing the
masterpiece Of a most famous artist
to Natures scenic views of autumn.
(Still quotes) A week hence, per-
haps a month, and we shall behold the
season of its eminence of grandeur;
the leaves a perfect blend of color,
dyed, as it were, with carmine tints of
the setting sun in yonder Western
horizon. The autumn's feeting sun
shine and autumn's waning days de-
serves our admiration before they
fade away. end of quotes).
1 can hardly wait to continue thru
the old files and find St. EImo's de-
scription Of coming winter.
I'm in favor Of the immediate publ
cation of new telephone directory
for Oakland. If l call the undertaken,
get Helbig'S mill. If call the sheriff
I'm liable to get a preacher If l call
for Annie, why Annie doesn't live
there any more, or the numbers been
changed to 153MNx.
And while we're on the subject of
telephones, what can you suggest as
a substitute for a real vigorous crank
ing when you can't get the number
you want. Formerly you could take
your spite out on the crank. When you
were told the line was busy, a few
sharp turns would make you feel bet
ter. But now, there is nothing to turn
a crank on except the pencil sharpener
and that doesn't give any satisfaction.
Something to Wonder About
Will the rolling pin throwing con-
test at the Knights of Pythias picnic
be for accuracy or distance?
From very unreliable sources comes
the information that the State, or
Senator Phoebus, has arranged to
send a submarine up to this county for
the personal use of Senator Friend. |
1t must be used either in Bear Greek |
or in Deep Greek Lake. From the local |
Senator's alleged description Of Deep
Creek Lake, Bear Greek might carry
enough water to submerge the subma-
rine.
Our personal opinion is, however, |
that battleship is what is needed. !
Then let everybody stand back and |.
see what kind of shots are fired. The !
ones so far fired by Mr.. Phoebus seem !
to lack power, or something.
Some Sunday afternoon after you
have ridden over all the State roads |
and find that they are getting a little
monotonous, try taking a jaunt along
some Of the back roads of the county. |
The scenery will surprise you. All
the beauties of the county are not
found along improved highways by
any means.
