Postmaster Will DuBois bumped against a new proposition a few days ai,o, when a letter came addressed to "Postmaster's Wife," and as Will has never met the lady he is waiting patiently for some handsome girl to come forward and help him out by claiming the name and letter. Now girls, its your move. Last Saturday afternoon Dewey, the little son of Ed Pritchard, had a close call for his life, and is fortunate in escaping fatal injury. He with his mother, was visiting at James Bark hurst's east of town, and some of the little fellows were playing in an old house, when Dewey discovered a ."JS caliler revolver. He thought ita very nice plaything but changed his opinion quite suddenly for the revolver was discharged and the bullet struck him on the left liand at the third joint of the little linger, making an ugly and painful wound. Dr. Iced held was called and dressed the hand, and young Iewey will not lie in the naval service with his illustrious namesake for some time. The announcement of the marriage of Miss May Huglison of this village and Otis MeNurlin of Murray will be no surprise to their friends who have observed the course of love making in this case. The couple called at the otllce of Judge Douglass in l'latts mouth on Wednesday and the ac comodating otlicial added to their happiness by making them husband and wife. The bride is well known and highly respected here, and this vicinity has been her home since child hood, her father, the late A mos Hugh- son having been one of the lirst settlers of this county. The groom is an industrious farmer who has resided near Murray for many years, where he owns a good farm, and they will make their home there. Raymond F. Taylor, born July 22, lx!x, died at 3:12 a. m. on Tuesday, June 10, llRKJ, at the home two miles southeast of Union.

May 22nd he suffered an ap parently slight Injury by stepping up on a nail, and although he complained of pain for several days, there were no alarming symptoms until a week ago, when he seemed to be suffering much pain and continued growing worse, and Monday night his condition was of most serious nature. Through the long hours of night anxious parents watched for a favorable change and medical skill did everything possible to save the precious life, but all in vain, and after one convulsion little Raymond passed away.

A nice shower Thursday night. It was accompanied by considerable hail but the latter did no damage owing to the absence of wind. The rain was very beneficial as the ground had be come very dry and hard. Born, to Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Stohlman, Monday June 15, a girl. The only thing that would add to Andrew's cup of joy would be to have had the stork left a boy instead. Louisville will not celebrate the Fourth this year but will be content to wait until the date of the G. A. R. reunion, when there will be something doing in the old town worth coming miles to witness. Little Roland, the 19-months-oldson of and Mr. and Mrs. J. O. Ward, living southeast of town, came near losing his life Monday by being stung by bees. The little fellow unnoticed got too near a bee hive when the angry bees lit upon him by hundreds and had it not been that help was near he probably would have been stung to death. When taken to the house it was found that more than a hundred bees had stung him. His face, -hands, head and body were literally covered and they had even stung him inside Ids mouth. A quick application of soda is all that saved the the little fellow's life, says Dr. Thomas, who was summoned as soon as it was possible to get a messenger to town. The little fellow is getting along as well as could be expected under the circumstances and is on a fair way to recovery. Elmwood From the Leader-Echo. Elmwood will celebrate.

It effects the head- stomach, liver, back and eyes and gives one an ovcrish kind of a feeling. The doctors are unable to give it a name; but we think it is epacardi-par- csis, which is Greek and means "A whole lot". Greenwood From the News. Chas.

A fine rain fell here on Sunday morn ng and afternoon, greatly beneficial to crops of all kinds and to some sorts of people, sweetening their disposition toward other humanity, and giving them rest, sweet rest at the dead hour of night when wrapt in Morpheus' arms. D. L. Amick and wife while on their way to Plattsmouth on last Saturday had a runaway while driving down Chicago avenue, which might have resulted seriously to one or both. It seems one or the traces became detached, letting the tongue fall to the ground, but after running 200 yards the combined efforts of Mr. and Mrs. mick brought the team under control. D. L. was so disgusted with the team that he disposed of it that selfsame day, for considerable less than they were worth. Your Cedar Creek fellow grew facetiously linguistic in his last week's notes to your paper, showing sourness of spleen and anything but a gentle manly demeanor. We have ourselves already seen gas bags and have heard them explode, but never seen a would be gas bag with so little gas that was any good as that carried by your Cedar Creek sour,-sore,-soul.

Your correspondent on Monday of this week took a trip southwest as far as Elmwood. On'this tour we took especial pains to note the condition of the crops and we will say here now and at this time we have never in 27 years beheld such a sublimely poor prospect for corn as presents itself to the eye on the route we traveled. True, the corn is in a general clean condition, but the unfortunate thing about it is the small size of the corn. The largest corn we observed was scarcely a foot ligh, and many fields have corn just coming up. Wheat and oats are said to be in poor prospect for crops, and we noticed several wheat fields thick with rust. The fruit crop in the apple line TEH CENTS BUYS A Thm Hntki' SuburlptlM to ' Cle Industrial Cioes AND MINING RECORD with which is given free as a premium Two Splendid Maps of Thunder Moun tain Mining District and of Southern Idaho, showing all the mines and all the important claims, also routes, railroads and wagon roads.

Allen Land has taken iosscssion of the store owned by J. M. Kiser who has disposed of all his interests in the same, and who herebj' takes occasion to thank all his late patrons for their custom, which lias been, with few exceptions, pleasant.

Lohnes noticed two snow white crows Hying about the trees in his pasture. How many have ever saw white crows? This is something new to everybody around here and all the boys in the neighborhood are practicing to throw a rope to catch the crows, but we think there will he more than two white crows by the time the boys will succeed in catching them with a lasso. James Terryberry lost a line steer last week from the effects of clover bloat. Jack Yahn who is well known in this vicinity had a runaway with his pony while Haging an auto. Earl and Fred Terryberry were visit ing relatives in Glenwood, Iowa, last week. A good many coyotes are heard yelp ing in this neighborhood, sotheresure ly must be another den close by. Last night I held a little hand so dain ty and so neat, I thought my heart would burst with joy, so wildly it did beat: No other hand into my soul could great er solace bring, Than that I held last night which was, four aces and a king.
