WIDE AWAKE.

Weil, here we are again. We hud a isooil meotiDg at the chuich last Sunday.

John Vanarsdall and wife spent last Sunday with John's mother at Mace. Well, our good friend from Linuen has got back and we are glad to see him back.

Our good Mayor, Curtis Edwards and family, took dinner with P. S. Cowan, laBt Sunday.

Birthday surprise parties have about got all of us. According to the old Baying, "There is no rest for the wicked."

We see by the Brown's Valley letter that a fellow down there drank the juice off of his wife's pickles and had to go to bed for a day or two. Now, if he had drunk eomeof the juice of Wide Awake he would be in bed yet.

Robert's Chapel, what were you doing in Wide Awake the other day, trying to borrow tools, such as trowel, hawk, and God knows what all? It's a wonder you had not gone up and tried to borrow Henry Walter's little rabbit gun.

We have some boys and girls who are thinking of going to Cuba as rough riders, judging from what we saw last Sunday. Say, boys, don't get the girls on the horses and start down the road when you know the preacher is coming to chucrh on his wheel and is sure to meet them.

The ladies' aid society met last week and transacted business. They decided to give up the oyster supper and have an have entertainment on the stage. Wont the old women look nice on the Btage. Well, we are goiag and that will be a dime for ehem, nr.d say, we would not mi it for ten dimes. Now, Henry we want you to understand that we don't play "Black Man'' any more and get our nose brokeii for we want to look pretty on that uight.

Sandy was surrounded at Polly Pacer's and his capture was possible, but Poolly seemed to be posted as to conditions. She caused Sandy to inflate his best pneumatic tire by crawling into it and he waB saved. Polly then withstood the fight by warding off the death blows of Bert Breaks's winChester. the Ward McClelland brag ehot gun, and even withstood the charges of Henry Walter's little honest rabbit piper. Polly also knocked out the best ye of the sheriff with a watermelon, who in return captured Polly'e false teeth and wig. The sheriff is in a dangeroos conditfbn. If he dies you will all receive a timely notice of the funeral. The place of burial will be in tte north east corner of Soap Factory.

Ladies, don't purchase your fall hat until you have first visited tue Y. M. A. millinery parlors.

HOG HEAVEN.

Mrs. Meda Morris and daughters drove to Wingate Ja11Sunday. Bill Snyder is patching his bicycle tire with old boot legs, preparing to make a trip to Ohio.

Some of the Black Creek boys expect to secure prizes at the street fair on their large ears—of corn.

People on the opposite side of Sugar creek should adhere to the code and do their lighting on the ground set aside by A. C.'Oope for that purpose.

While botanizing along the banks of Black creek, last week, I noticed John N. Miller working in his garden. Mr. Miller showed me a sweet potato that he raised which measured twelve inches

These are symptoms of anemia or poor blood. They arc just as frequent in the summer as in the winter. And you can be cured at one time just as well as another.

loig and fifteen inches in circumference, Who can show a begger one? 1 Miss Vorna Viers ami I gave a party at Vernrt's house, on hist Saturday niiiht. A large number of our friends were on hand, and mirth and music ruled the hour until a gang of unsophisticated jays from Bristle Uidge made their appearance. They had taken a few glasses ol' hard cider before leaving home and were entirely too frisky.

They were uniuvite.', unknown, and unwelcomp. My land, what pall some people have! Bristle Uidge a a, 1 suppose.

I had a special invitatim to attend the royal goose roast and surprise on Samuel Snyder, on Wednesday night of last week, but was obliged to go to Veedersburg on that evening, eo I sent word down to Sandy, asking him to go in my place and write up the partyHe acknowledged the receipt of my note and said he would be there, but alas! he was suddenly attacked with the bellyache. He had eaten too many cucumbers for supper. I was told by those present that the party was a swell affair. The most conspicuous feature of the evening was the smiling countenance of Milt Lofland of Wide Awake. Sandy told me he heard that Milt ate more goose than anybody present, and would have devoured everything in sight if Frank Thomas had not accidently stepped on his corns which di verted his attention from the table and ga^e the others a chance.

I learn that there are numbers of girls in Wide Awake, Cherry Grove, and other points north of us, who are hankering for husbands. It seems the boys up that way are too slow or else there is not enough to go around. [Now, down in the Black Creek neighborhood they have boys to throw at the maids, so 1 have decided to give, for the benefit of my sisters up the way, sketches of a batch of buxom, Black Creek bachelors who are on the matrimonial market. The first gentleman I shall introduce you to is

ELLIS OKAY,

who is overseer of the R. B. Snyder farm. Ellis was born at Gray's Station some years siuco met of his life has bnen spent on the farm. He is sound as a dollar, hale and hearty, and is capable of performing any domestic duty required of a husband. Ellis is cantering toward the srowhiils of winter, but is just as frolicsome as any two-year-old you ever saw. He has traveled over considerable territory in his time, and once accompanied old Sandy on a trip through Iowa and Minnesota. Among the many amusing incidents in Mr. Gray's career was the letter he wrote to his father from Tennessee, wherein he Bpoke of a certain part of his anatomy being draped in mourning. Ellis would make a capital husband and, I believe, would submit to hen-pecking without a murmur—a rare virtue in a man. I will guarantee he will not kick in the traces. No Wide Awake girl could shoo her guineas to a better market.

FRANK MILLER

Ah, girls, here is a peach that any of you would do well to cling to. Frank first saw the light of dny in the Black Creeu valley. I was shown the cradle, last Sunday, that he used to slumber in. It is not as tine as some they have now-a-days, but that cuts no figure. It is nothing to one's discredit if he were cradled in a discarded soap box. Frank is a Bort of a rolling stone. He is first here and then there. At present he is in Yountsville, working on the damn. He is a general utility man and can do almost any kind of work, from building a pig pen to weeding a"tater"patch. He posesses a fine bass voice and sometimes sings in the choir, being a member of Mt. Zion church in good standing—during revival season. They say that when a certain Mies Thompson got married Frank "fell off a right smart." A Black Creek man told me that he tries to be a dude, and that he uses artificial means to make him look like a springer when the fact is he is an old gander. When Frank puts on those white duck pants and taned tooth pick shoes, the boys all look on him with eyeB of envy. Any girl fortunate enough to snare him would have a great snap, as he can cook, sew, wash and iron like the very douse.

ELMER MILLER

Is a cousin to Frank Miller. Elmer is a voluptuous cuss. He sometimes wears a soft blonde mouBlache that don't tickle like some that I have seen. Any boys that like the girls better than Eimer—well, they just eat 'em, that's all. 1 will Bay one thing for Elmer Miller, In is energetic. If the right kind of a L-ir would cot hold of him, she might tHme him and make him gentle as a lamb, but it wouid take a great deal of iiieace. in the mntter of choosing a wilV. ho prefers a girl wi'h large income. Ut» dos-n't oare whether Iihs a pretty face and form or noi\ and perhaps that is the reason ho never proposed to POLLY PACER.

Dr. Waite, the old time dentist, has gone to Lafayette and will enter the Soldiers' Home at that city.

MISSING HERO FOUND

CORPORAL EDWARDS OF THE SEVEN-TY-FIRST BACK FROM THE DEAD.

Wn« Consptcnoun For Gnllantry at San Juan—Cared For the "Wounded. Hlslicr Promotion Awaited Him

When a Sunstroke Disabled Him.

The war department and the officers and men of the Seventy-first have been looking for Corporal Edwards ever since July 14, and everybody had given him np for lost when he was found by the merest accident in the general hospital at Camp Wikoff the other day. Edwards is a trained nnrse and up to the beginning of the war had been employed at the New York hospital. His home is at 13 Leather lane, Hoi born, London, and he has no relatives in the United States. He went to Cuba with the Sev-enty-first and for conspicuous gallantry and bravery at San Jnan Hill on July 1 and 2 he was promoted to the only vacancy in his company, that of corporal. The story of what he did at San Juan was told shortly after the battle by Captain Meeks, commanding Edwards' company. "On the first day at San Juan," said Captain Meeks, "when Sergeant Young, who was carrying the Red Cross bag, fell, shot through the head, Edwards ran np to me and said, 'Captain, I'm a trained ncrse let me carry that bag.' Permission was given, and Edwards took the bag. Edwards fought hiB way to the top of the hill then, throwing away his rifle, he began to care for the wounded and dying. He had no Red Cross badge, but time and again he went along the firing line, utterly unoaring for the bullets that were falling like hail, helping those who could walk and dragging or carrying those who couldn't to the rear. "Before the first day's battle was over he had rigged np a hospital of his own near the foot of the hill and was caring for 45 patients, including six Spaniards. He didn't weigh more than 126 pounds, bnt I saw him shouldering men who weighed 175 and carrying them back as if they didn't weigh 50 pounds.' He worked over his patients all night, fought in the trenches till noon the next day and then got permission to look to the wounded again. He carried 40 back to his hospital between then and nightfall, including General Hawkins, and worked over them all that night. "The next day he superintended their removal to the general hospital at Siboney. He reported for duty to me on July 10, looking as well as the best of ns. I then promoted him to be a corporal. He was mightily pleased, but the next day he was stricken with fever. The next day but one he disappeared, and none of us has seen him since. 1 fear that he will always be numbered among the missing."

It so happened that a great deal of the work Edwards did at Sai\ Jnan came under the immediate notice of Colonel S. C. Mills, acting inspector general, who in a report to the war department had this to say of Edwards' work:

Battle of San nan—There la a man named Charles Edwards, private, company I, Seventyfirst New York volunteers, who rendered voluntary efficacious and unremitting care to the wounded and sick. He merits official recognition. The precise extent of his services and their nature can be attested by Captain John Newton, Sixteenth infantry, and by Lieutenant W. P. J: i'Uhoii, Second infantry, aid-de-camp to the division commander. 8. C. MILLS, Acting Inspector General.

Ever since that report reached Washington tho war department has been trying to find Edwards. The president signified hid intention of offering him something much better than a corporalship. The nurse, although still a sick man and suffering periodically from delirium, was able to tell something the other day of his experiences after his disappearance. He said that shortly after the surrender of Santiago he was either eunstruck or smitten with fever, he can't tell which. He wandered around for a time, and then thinks ho put up his shelter tout near a ranch and lay down. He doesn't know just what happened for some timo after that, but he thinks he must have lain there for as many as ten days. Then he realized that he must get medical attention and started to walk toward Santiago. He finally got there, was put in a hospital and after a time put aboard some transport, he doesn't know what one, and finally landed at Camp Wikoff.

Since then ho has been in the general hospital there, delirious a good part of the time. In one of his lucid moments he told the nurse that he had been sunstruck, but went off his head before he could tell his name. Thus it happened that he was down in the hospital records as "Unknown, sunstroke." When his identity was discovered on Wednesday morning, the case was reported to General Wheeler, who ordered that if he was in condition for the trip he should be sent immediately to a city hospital, where he conld get the very best treatment. Then he telegraphed the war department that Edwards had been found. As he finished writing the telegram General Wheeler turned to Major Borden and remarked: "And
