Hello, Ed, how much money jingled out of your pockets for the girls? Most of the people of this vicinity spent the Fourth of July in Fair Oaks. Hulda and Minnie were home on a visit, but Hulda had to return before the Fourth. John Stibbe, with his two children attended tre Fourth of July exercises at Fair Oaks. It’s only too good that Oscar Stibbe got company that gives him chances for excuses. Fair Oaks sand hills must be pleasant, or there certainly wouldn’t have been such a large crowd there. “The evening is always the best,” is what some boys and girls say. It might be in one way; it’s best for flirtations. Frederick E. Haas had to go to Fair Oaks to see if he could see his son-in-laws there, which we think be certainly did. Say, but it was a big luck that Mrs. Rosenbaum felt so much better than Mr. Rosenbaum could take the children to the celebration. Mr. and Mrs. Paul Makus thought they would go to tbe Fourth of July cel* ebration because it was their son's birthday, and they thought he ought to celebrate it.
Gifford
Gifford has woke up at last. All report having a fine time the Fourth. We see the Pine Grove people visit a good deal. Miss looks much pleased since George has returned. Our pickle factory is almost done, and the pickles are looking fine. Say, Wess; why is it that you have quit going south of Sundays? George Kimble has returned from the west to remain at home until spring. Well, Bert, why did you look down the mouth so the Fourth? Has she gone back on you already? The Laura and Gifford base ball teams played a game Sunday at the latter place which resulted in a score of 18 to 25, in favor of Gifford. We noticed that John Hill and Bill Nuss returned July sth, one at noon and the other at night. They have been cutting rye this week, and were glad to see the rain come.
