Pay no attention to that hat Sallie that is turned up in front. Frank likes to kiss such a pretty girl as I am. He is the one that can make it smackNot like that knock-kneed, hip-jointedi absent-minded, broken-nose man.

We take this opportunity to notify the superindendent of the Sugar creek wooden bridge that on west side, at the north entrance, is a hole in one of the planks which some poor old blind horse might force its foot through at the cost of the Jcounty. We consider it dangerous.
This is a dry and cold spell of weather. The roads and fields are dusty. This seems to be hard weather on the whea', at least it looks like it iB leaving the ground or is going back. We belaive pasturing would be a bad thing to do as it would cause more dust for the wind to blow away from the wheat.

Last Saturday night a gang of young hoodlums 'congregated in a play house, west of the city near John Tinsley's. Ttey were carelessly handling a loaded shot gun, the muzzle being pointed toward the road. Just as Icem Biggs was passing the place ou a horse, on his way home, the gun was accidently discnarged. ,80010 of the 6hot struck the horse in the neck, producing painful but not serious wounds. It was a narrow escape for both boy and beast. These boys are bad egge, and will get what they deserve some of these days.
Last Saturday, while in town, I went to the Hoolihan & Quillen hardware store to buy a steel trap to catch a fox that has been etealing my chickens. As soon as I entered the store the clerks began swarming about me like flies around a sugar-bowl. They all wanted to wait on me at once. Tom wanted to sell me a churn, George insisted on me purchasing a pair of skates, while that smooth faced chap, (I forget his name) tried to sell me a horse-blanket for a bed-quilt. I had a notion to dash my chewing gum in hiB face. Ho took me for an unsophisticated daughter of the swamps, but soon discovered his mistake.
Edward Rose find Jacob Francis, two young and lively bachelors of Wide Awake, were hunting around here, the other day, and stopped at my cottage to get warm. They looked somewhat fatigued, so I gave them a lunch of cold coon meat and raw ouions. Onions, you know, are very strengthening—for the breath. Ed seemed backward and bashful, but Jake—la me, he's got more gall than a brass monkey. He wanted to call on me next Sunday night and take me up to the Bad Medicine church. I told him I did not care to go as the girls up that way were all jealous of me. I informed him, however, that he might spend the evening at my bouse, providing Ellis'Gray didn't call. He said that would cut no figure with him he could stay as long as Mr. Gray, and if his rival insisted on staying, they would draw straws to see who should remain he would come if it were "raining pitch forks and negro babies." I had supposed that all the bachelors in Wide Awake were old dried up hypochondriacs, but I find out different. Jake, you are all rigt
