Curry bought the Lemuel Shaffer farm and moved there. John Feister bought t G. W. Currey’s farm and Mr. Schlabhauffen of Bluffton now lives, on this farm.— Bluffton Banner. A man is usually averse to feminine shopping but when the purchase extends to "rats’’ he is inclined to draw the reins of his patience a little. At least such is the influence given by a man bearing a sheepish expression and a note on which a feminine hand had written “turbin rat,” who presented the same at one of our popular stores Friday afternoon, the man at first looking all around to see that he was not observed before he made the purchase. The clerk led him to the turban counter to make the selection, asking him whether that was what he wanted. The man, much at a loss himself as to the nature of the “animal,” finally blurted out: "Oh, these women! I wish they’d buy their own rats.” He finally grabbed up one and told the clerk to wrap it up—and if his wife is a blonde, he will probably have to return the “turbin rat,” for nothing was written on the note regarding the shade of the "rat” and he took the first one lying on the pile.
