Joseph Fenzel bought a new setting hen and a gross of eggs from Mrs. Triple. Don’t stall the market, Joe. Will say to Miss Asphaltum that San Pierre can not send a self-addressed, stamped envelope as the new law draws the line very closely to the color. Bates Nelson called on Miss Ida Kruger two solar days last week. Bates thinks it is either win or lose. Boys, get your old army muskets and cowbells. Joseph Fenzel, who has been growing an immense crop of whiskers, shaved Sunday morning. Estelle has returned from Medaryville. It has been reported that San Pierre ■nd ]■ are to clash. If it is to come San Pierre prefers to nave a snail-shell for a helmet, a cabbage leaf for a breast plate, an onion top for a sword and one of those lost darts for a spear. War is semething terrible, and it would be well to remember John Sherman's proverb. Talk of the gold mines of Australia. The Nebula Hypothesis, the Phenomena of the Sun, or the O-nip-I can't of a Hill. We were certainly awed to hear him

give a Ben Buster stump oration on his matrimonial inclinations. He began like this: “As I have been in the horticulture business for such a long period, I do hereby declare to the world that the "Bush” is mine, and that I can outrun a Nancy Hanks on a race for the Bridge or out-wallop any Porter county rival that ever "chawed” shilling tobacco or pepsin gum. I have been a political poiawog, a proof reader and a hack writer and am ngt a candidate for Congress, but an ardent candidate for matrimony, only one vote needed, one vote wanted, and that stamped and sealed with “yes, Bert.” What would you think of such a proposal? We will take D. V’s. word for it, “that human nature is surely a mine of mystery and that the actions of humanity can not be explained.” A second Daniel, we are glad you taught us those words. We would advise you not to be so abrupt and not grasp for an elephant and swallow mosquitos, but to use those “oats” that you accused San Pierre of getting and go to Gal. and read, “Be not weary in well doing for in due season you shall reap ts jou faint not.” Keep CQol,

It is not right to put it in somebody's hen house either. Some people dance for joy, some for spite and others to gain sympathy. The same conditions that drives some men to drinking drives others to dancing. The great gate swagerer of San Pierre, who is known as the great cork-leg colonel of this county, accused us last week of sending communciations via the wire fence route. We can prove that this is as false as bis teeth. If we were San Pierre and had the reputation of swaging more gates than any other fellow in the county, we would keep still. Can anyone show us a gate upon which San Pierre has not rested, in these parts? Of course you can’t. If all of his I gate victims would send up their hingesqueaking wail, in concert, they would make as much noise as Samson did when he slew the heathen with a jaw bone. This spirit of gate-swaging is the same evil spirit that prompts some men to kilhinnocent people for money.

Boys, come next Sunday afternoon, as the girls will wait for you. We wonder if Charlie Cline and Will Hodge thought they were on the right road to Longcliff last Sun day evening when they drove out of town so fast? But, boys, it is a little farther away than the Miller hill. Friend Sunnyside must have been moon-eyed when he noticed the sagged gates in L. V., for the gates here are like those were in the old country—blown away by the wind and left the posts standing. Now we advise you to look closer next time.
