We are much like friend Silas of
the Renrock pencil. We would like
to live in country where there
would always be sunshine and show
ers when we needed them, without
the cloud of taxes, but so long as We
have the blessings, we will take our
stamps or receipts and not worry.
Worry keeps the doctor and under
| taker in business.
/ Man and Mallow
Recently the first bloom appeared
on mallow at our home. Very
beautiful When evening came the
flower closed up and faded. Gone.
We noticed another bud slowly open
ing. In the morning we found the
second as beautiful as the first, and
so it has been from day to day. AS
We are only a pencil pusher, we will
let you and the preachers finish the
sermon and lift the collection.

found Jos. Hiatt, ST., aged go, rel
ative of the Yaugers. Mr.. Hiatt
seemed sort of dazed regarding pres

Motorcycle Accident
John w. Scott makes news. We
have tried to give everybody space
in our section who arrives, accom-
plishes, departs and SO on, but our
friend John Wilson, who is always
up and doing, comes in for second
helping this week. Sunday while
riding Cor soon after}, his motor
cycle, near the C. S. Lawrence home,
it seems the machine was suddenly
attacked with cramps, Indigestion,
lock-jaw or something. Stopping
without a squeak to warn the rider
John went on. Results: A badly
skinned up John Wilson, with per-
haps a few cracked ribs. Glad it
wasn't worse. So long as the rail-
roads haul at two cents per mile, we
won't straddle one of those two
wheelers.
