Gillam Township Items.

Everything is lovely in Gillam. The grass is green and tender. The cattle look well. Cattle buyers are plenty. Messrs. Wm. Nolan and James Randal bought a fine lot of cattle in this vicinity. Messrs. John Querry and H. L. Brown shipped a lot of to cattle Chicage. Mr. Phlegming Farris is going to move into hi* new house. Mr. “K. K. K.,’’ I think your sketch on single life is not correct, Because you could not get married and have much to regret. The girls can’t think of living a single life you know, And no one, except them, to share a happy home. The girls don’t think old bache’s tongues Will be considered slander, For his red nose plainly shows That he drinks to much brandy. The girls say there is some nice young men, And they know they want to marry. Let old batch say what he may, They don’t intend to tairy. Go farther and rejoice, On this point agree, That the girls are very pretty In little Kankakee. Now wake up, “Sand Lapper,” And let old rusty “K. K. K.” see That you are going to marry a girl That lives in Kankakee. Then sound the loud timbrel, And beat the bass drum. The girls will all marry When the Gillam boys come.
