TEFFT.

Alloy Callon has moved back to the city where he only moved away three weeks ago, on account of those bright lights, but had to come back. On, Oh, loneaome it is back in them woods, eh, Alley. Wm. and Chas. Jasperson were at church Sunday with their new sedan Ford. Bill sure is going to be ready this leap year. These girls ain’t going to fool him this time. Just let one of them start something. Bill is O. K. girls. Mrs. McCollins is able to be out again after a few weeks of sickness. Keep well everybody, for the flu is in the air. » Martin Hohner has the promise of a No. 1 speaker at the next community Club. If Hohner succeeds in landing this guy, we sure will have a crowd. Watch next week’s Henry Tressmer made a trip to Illinois to see about renting a farm, but Henry ain’t back yet to report. It was reported around town that Mr. Pittsley was going to Kansas to work in the rice fields, but Jake had another thought. He is going to stay on the job and fool some of those guys that is waiting for his job. Good for Jake, for he knows that boiler room is O. K. This heavy snow has scared Geo. Goar out of the buzz saw business and about fifty farmers are waiting for Goar, but will get tired soon and get Girt Henrickson. Better get busy Goar. Another of those popular dances will be given at Konovsky’s hall Saturday evening, Jan. 24th. Music by the Curtin orchestra, and a good time guaranteed. The house of the Barnard ranch, occupied by W. H. Minor, was destroyed by fire, Minor losing about all the furniture, but saved a few clothes. Mrs. Minor, who was running at randum, was picked up and taken back to the house in Duggle•by’s car. Mrs. Minor had gotten a quarter of a mile away, running for help. Dewey Meyers and Chas. Duggleby being the heroes of the hour, saved most everything that was saved. Help was slow in coming, for the roads were snow-bound for can. About 500 quarts of fruit was forgotten in the cellar. Mrs. George Heil had a good many quarts stored in Minor’s cellar. Potatoes and lard, in fact everything, going up in smoke. Guy Minor lost all his clothes, but Guy don’t need them for he has no time to dress up since going in the garage business.. If the fire had just held off until the 29th, as Minor has a sale on that date, there might of been enough help to put it out. Mn. Dugglesby is substituting at Tefft and Richard Bowie is also substituting. Miss Yeager was called away on account of sickness and Miss Dehlanty we think went to some wedding anniversary in Illinois. Conrad F. Meyers was surprised Saturday morning when the stork left another girl. Conrad was trying to finish his new house, but on account of material being hard to get the stork beat him to it. Mother and baby are doing nicely. Another of those bob-sled .parties was held Sunday night. Ben Miller being at the wheel with Miss Shephard at his side. Mr. Ashby, Mr. Able, Walter Segcrist, Chas. Dugglesby, Miss Yeager, Miss Porter, Miss Poole, Miss Turner, James Shephard, Frances Gibbs went along.
