Wolcott Women Walk Just as Well as Talk.

Monticello Journal. Talk about women being plucky, Wolcott surely has a bunch that line up well in the lead. In a friendly conversation recenly a dispute came up over ability to walk and as a result Mrs. Quincy Hughes, Miss Ethel Ellis, Mrs. Carmen Boone, Mrs. H. L. Somerville, and Mrs. Katherine Hughes wagered with their husbands that they could walk from Wolcott to this city in five hours on the wagon road allowing one-half hour for rest. The ladies made the trip yesterday and won the wager, which was a pair of shoes each. * It is hinted that there were several blistered feet and a lot of sore muscles this morning.
