GIFFORD.

Oats threshing is the go in this vicinity, Jess Garriott wus the guest of Mr. Caster’S Sunday. Miss Lerna Haniford called on Miss Clara Zook Saturday night. Lon Boyd says he is hunting a wife, we don't believe it, though. Miss Bessie Kimble spent a few days with Miss Cora Smith of Gillam. Miss Ada Rife and Miss Clara Ponton went to Chicago Saturday for a few days visit. Next Sunday night will be preaching nt North Lawn by Bro. Appleton, everybody come. The Christian Endeavor was well attended Sunday night. The Society will not hold anothe,; for two weeks. The North Barkley correspondent say s we felt for the Gifford correspondent because she did not get to go on the excursion. I don't think "we" got to go either, the N. B. c. I mean. I suppose he cried and thinks every btidy else cried too. but that was just some oChfsr"sensrble news.' 1 The North Barkley correspondent says he don't want to hear about the well trade any more. He wants to hear sensible news. We notice by the way he writes he visits two or three days out of the week, and we also notice that he transacts business at some point every week such places as Comer, Lewiston, Pleasant Grove, and etc. That is sensible enough, but we can't all go visiting and be business people, and we thought it would be proper to have a few traders in the country.
