ROBERT'S CHAPEL.

Howard a 'anklin will push the plow for Cal Break this summer. Mrs. Etta Grot, dyke's children have been quite Bick wit. catarrhal fever.

Frank Mahan says he never saw a muddier time. Say Frank we can remember when the road passing your place would mire a duck.

Dr. Dewey says he wants to whip us. Say, Doctor, come to Sunday school as we'll be there. You will know us by the size of our feet. After you take a good look at us we don't think you will feel BO much like fighting.

Say, Wide Awake, you look pale. Has Henry Walters had hold of you, or did fish Commissioner Smith scare you the other day when you caught that string of frogs. Say if you will quit frog fishing we won't tell who you are.

Seno Cope is making things hum at his fence factory. Seno is a hustler, but somewhat cowardly. He says he would saw off his right arm rather than go to war should we have one. He says he don't eare to be Bhot in the neck with a thousand pound ball for the pension he might get after the war is oyer.

We understand Wilbert Breaks don't like the country letters. He says they are all foolishness. Say, Wilbert, be patient, we are coming to the political question by and by. We have you beat next time without any argument. But we know you aim to be right. So later on we will *ive you convincing proof that McKinley and the gold standard is not what the farmer and laborer wants. We want more money and fewer mortgages, and by the "old Harry" we are going to have it. So keep your eye on our letters.

Our old friend, George Schlepp* ea Indiana is too slow for him and

IT'S ALL OVER

is going west. Say, George, stay at home, vote for free silver, read good papers like the REVIEW, Sentinel and

Enquirer,

go to Sunday school before

you go fishing and you will find Indiana just aB full of

life

as it was when you

plowed corn and fed your face in the neighborhood of Robert's Chape). The west is full of butchere and say they butcher anything from a rattle snake to a man. They don't wait for you to step outside to rob your drawer, they do It while you look at 'em.

tarantula" and some young ones in it, and put them on exhibition in their store. Barnes thought he would have some fun with the people who came in to see them, so he got a cork, blacked it, and put some rubber legs on it, then tied a threat to it. When a person got elose to the jar he would drop the cork in front of him. but J- Kein hit the cork and the thread became tangled in his hand. He was so eager to get away from the tarantula that he ran out of the store hollowing and still fighting the cork. You could have snared his ears with a grape vine, but he had the satisfaction of seeing others fight it.

One day last week, two men of this place were out on the road with their team and met a tramp. They thought they would have some fun with him, and asked him what he did for a living The tramp informed them that he was a dancing instructor. They wanted him to dance for them but he declined as he did not have on his best shoes. They Baid that cut no ice and threatened to use their whips on him if he did not dance for then*. Well, he said he would dance rather than take a licking, but he would! have to put on another pair of sboeB 'that he had in his grip. They said all right. The tramp opened his grip but instead of taking out a pair of shoes, brought forth a revolver and drew it 1 the men, sayirg: "Now, YOU dan ." They obeyed the order, and the ramp could have had them dancing if he wanted to. I suppose the next time these two men go out they will not look for dancers.

The so-much-talked-of suit between Max Goodman and Tom Brann and wife came to a focus last Friday by Brann .withdrawing the suit, throwing the cost of the whole business on Tom Brann. About three months ago Tom Brann and Miss Dora Goodman were united in marriage. Mise Goodman being a Jew and marrying a gentile, it caused considerable kicking among her people and she was offered 82.000 to leave her husband but she refused. After they were married about three weeks she talked her husband into bringing

Buit

against Max Goodman for

$60, which she claimed to have loaned him. So Tom brought suit against Goodman for the amount The trial came off in Crawfordevilte before a jury of six men. Anderson and Bachelor had all of the witnesses out of their heads and they could not tell what their names were. The jury failed to agree.

The contractors and builders are plenty tince the cellulose factory located here.

An effort is being made to have a daily paper printed here at ten cents per week. Let it come.

Mrs. Martha Kidwell, of Lafayette, is going locate here ae soon as a suitable house can be found.

The rain kept a good many away from the chalk entertainment on last Saturday night at the school house.

A hop and skip over the floor in Shelby's Hall last Monday night while Jennie Hays lay a corps! That shows the regards they have for the dead and their friends.

The cellulose factory will not receive corn stalks after the peth turnB red. They say it is too far gone to make cullulose. Farmers should not bring it to the factory when in that condition.

After a long sickness Miss Jennie Hays, a young lady, died on last Monday evening about 7:20 p. m. and was interred in Linden Cemetry on Tuesday evening beside her sister Mary and others of the family.

Last Monday evening just at dark Charles Hays tried to get on a freight train and as there was several boy* on

Mrs. Alexander is dangerously ill. They blew her up from the outside. Wheat looks promising at present. Lenora Lewis is staying staying with Mrs. Willis Faust.

Harry Shanklin has the war fever so has Smiley Miller. Nothing but war talk goes on the creek. Let it come.

Miss Verna Viers is at present staying with Mrs. George Stout in the city. Say, Sandy, how old does a man have to be before they draft 'em, said Tom Wolliver. "I'd like to hear the big guns crack on the battle ship, Iowa," said Frank Thomas. "Gee whtze," said Howard Cope, ''I don't want any in mine. What would my girl do?"

The infant child of George Stout was interred in the Mt. Zion grave yard last Sunday afternoon.

Vol Miller has just returned from Pittsboro after a pleasant visit with his son John and wife.

Tom Wolliver says it is too expensive to feed hogs on rubber boots corn is good enough for .'em.

Now that sugar making is over, our friends who had chickens that roosted low, draw their breaths easier and sleep sounder. "What's the news?" is the question Ab Cope is after now. He still remembers the hard tack of Bridgeport, Alabama, in 1864.

Frank Stout and wife are spending the week with Ben Stout and wife. Since Frank closed his school he is chopping bis summer's wood.

Wm. Viers and wife, Tom Woliverand mother, Katie Payne, and Lyda Boraker visited Sandy Morris Sunday. A good time was had with little to eat.

You one-eyed limp-legged ape, if you have two dollars and thirty cents old Sandy will tell you who writes the Romney tetter for this paper. Romney will tell you who I am for a dime.

Say, Wide Awake, how did you gpt along with the preacher Saturday night? Did you argue scripture with him? Did he sleep with hiB pants under his head? Did he spar off your place like a fiat bottom boat on a sand bar or did he back off.

Robert Foster has closed his Becond term of school at No. 14 with success. Bob leave us and we are all a unit in saying, we are your friends and return our thanks. We voice the district when we say the entire school and patrons are well satisfied, nor a single murmur to offer, Corae again.

A good many years ago Red Snyder was stalled with a load of brick on a hill near Alamo. A man came aiong with a big team and advised Red to 1 unload part of the brick and drove on. •'He did not help me up the hill," said

Snyder, "but I got up. I watched for seven years, and finally found this man Btuck on the same hill with a load of lumber. I helped him up with my team. He asked my bill. I said, nothing, but I told him how he had treated me seven years before, and told him that mercy descends from heaven like the gentle rain, and falls on the rich aDd poor alike." Mr. Snyder has long since gone to his reward but the incident is still remembered. SANDY.

The war t-care is all that we bear at the Mound, but no one says anything about our bad roads that the log haulers have cut to pieces hauling logs from the Foster Fletcher farm. It is the duty of the supervisor to stop all loads over 2.500 poQnds.

She leaves a mother, two brothers, a loving hueband and four sisters, besides a large host of friends and relatives to mourn her lo» She joined the Missionary Baptist cn rch at Waveland in 1894. She wasagoi 'Christian worker. We shall miss her ving face and kind smile of sister W..lierBon, but let us look up to the Omnipotant One who doeth all things well, and trust that some day, not far awy, we may meet her on the other side of the river of death, where no sorrow ever comes.

Jaynes, of this place, after which a large concourse of relatives and friends followed the remains to Indian Creek cemetery where they were laid to rest. There is no death! An angel form

Walks o'er the earth with silent tread, And lureB our best loved thingB away, And then we call them dead. And they know that the loved one is waiting

In the grie ess land above Where ther will be no parting When th meet with those they love. Yet agai we hope to meet thee

Whe* the day of life is fled, And in Heaven with joy to greet thee Where no farewell tears are shed. -D.E. H.

Wilbert Breaks is improving bis fish pond by putting a fence around it. Wilbert believes in keeping up with the times.

John Vanarsdall is our dairyman and horse trader. Say, Mr. Walters, if you don't think John will trade yoa try him once. You will find out you are not fooling with those old Cherry Grove horse traders. Come down some day Henry and bring that gun you had

over at the Grove. Say, John can shoot a gun too, so come down and we will go around with you *nd sh- you a good time.

The republicans of Wide Awake appear to be very much worried nliont Eli Groendyke. They spnt one of their best men to him to lecture him. He approached him in this manner: "Eli have you got to be a democrat? My boy, you should think this matter over seriously. You are trie son of a veteran and shtiuld cot disgiace .and dishonor hiaa." "Hold on, my friend, suppose I am the son of a. veteran, is that any reason that I should vote to enslave myself?" Reaching down into his pocket he diew out a silver dollar and said: "I presume you came here to talk about this, did you not?" "Yes, and I can convince you in no time that it is worth only 53 cents, or less." Hold on my friend, before you proceed with your lecture. I want to aBk you one question. You Bay this dollar iB worth but 53 centB or less, and the government says it is worth 100 cents. It is plain that one or the other have lied(

Which is the liar, you or the government?" He began to paw the earth, and kick and equirm and finally got away. Eli says the next man that approaches him on this subject he will hear him through and then bat him between the eyes and turn him a back somersault.
