Jasper County Democrat, Volume 4, Number 18, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 10 August 1901 — DUNNVILLE. [ARTICLE]

DUNNVILLE.

D. V. is alright. Luther Albm and family were the Suesta of Mr. and Mrs. Blocher last Sunay. Sister Pfeil was the guest of her brother Henry a few day* this week. She is in love with our beautiful country and especially our river. If she had her way she would reside in Dunnville.

With the exception of the high ground our corn is fine. This is truly the para-, dise for farmers. Daniel Gross, who has been in Illinois for the past few months, returned to D. V. the other day. Mr. Powers was in our midst last Tuesday. Mr. Powers is a believer in farm improvement pol Ly. Hon. I. D. Dunn is boring for oil, but he dop’t want anyone to know it. Readers, don’t tell anyone. Farmers are busy threshing their grain. The yield is exceptionally good, taking the season into consideration. If I had a crown of hay, all bedecked with pinching bugs and sand-burrs, I would crown Mr. Virgie King ol Pervaricators. Joe Rrooks loves the brickyard girl. He walks out to see her occasionally. We wonder if Joe will go into the brick business. Quite a few of the D. V. folks took Advantage of the St. Joe excursion last Sunday. Did they escape the whirlpool of matrimony? Received a letter from W. O. Hinshaw the other day. _ He has an office in Nebraska. He says that it is as dry as an ash pile there. Bill Wilmington has purchased a new buggy. He intends to take the girls a buggy ride. Bill is contemplating an early marriage. Girls, don’t let him get away. Some of the D. V. girls carry mustard in their pockets. They carry it so they can draw the affections of the boys to them. Mustard poultice has the gift of drawing, you know. Collins and Miller, our hustling threshers, are just knocking hail Columbia and money out of the oats. Just because they can t exhibit a handful of whiskers is no sign they can’t thresh. Mr. Virgie may be a reservoir for wisdom but his pervarications about our country, smells itke the wisdom of Balaam’s colt. He condemus what he never saw or never can seeand live. For him to leave his John the Baptist wilderness and invade our beautiful country would be too great a change for him to enjoy and live. But the time will come when the heathen will deify his spiritual body; yea they will build an altar in the land of Moab and burn incense in honor cf his apostolic whiskers. Upon his fan-like ears they will inscribe his name as a testimony against the lives of the false prophet.
