Underwood, Mc Ginnis Churchill, W. H. McDaniel and James Loughridge composed a jolly party that spent a few hours on the Platte river lakes last week endeavor ing to hook af ew members of the finny tribe, but since returning it lias been hard to determine as to how many they caught. Our genial friend Dave Amick 'claims to have hooked a "whopper" one that gave him a terrible tussle, ; and lie even got him partly out of the water, w hen as usual the pole and line j broke, and Mr. fish remained in his i wattery home, leaving poor disap- pointed Dave standing on the bank, : with but a small portion of the poll to remind him of the happy moment be fore. Mr. Underwood claims Dave be came so excited that he came very near pushing him into the lake, but Dave says he fell asleep between bites and came near falling in. Just what , Rro. McDaniel, Chuichill and Lough 1 ridge were doing all this time, we have been unable to find out but feel safe in I stating that they were pretty busy, j either catching fish or digging bait. I The boys had a good time and if Rro. ! Dave had just caught that fish, all j would have been well, and these num erous explanations would nave oeen unnecessary. Moral: Dave, get a stronger line or stay at home. Wm. Copeland Surprised. Last Saturday evening the friends of Wm. Copeland prepared a surprise for him at the home of Dr. Gilmore and wife. Some very choice selections of music were rendered during the evening by various members of the party and at the proper hour a tine luncheon was served. Mr. Copeland was presented with a fine bible, as a remembrance of t?:e occasion and to display their appreciation of the ef forts Mr. Copeland is making to lead a better and more honorable life than he has for many years past. Mr. Copeland places a high value upon the present and claims it shall ever re main near and dear to him. A Plesant Time.

"We are afraid of it, because it seems to us that girls pre fer everything to housekeeping and cooking and we know that this is the real caus of all divorces." Bad cook ing is expensive and dangerous, be cause it ruins the stomach, causes dys pepsia and makes a man impatientand irritable. Love disappears. On the other hand we find cases where the cook is good, but the stomach is bad and the result is nearly the same. In both cases Triner's American Elixir of Bitter Wine will cure the stomach and make it strong enough to digest all food. It cures dyspepsia, consti pation, biliousness, makes the blood pure and rich, the nerves strong, the muscles elastic. There is no better blood-purifier and tonic. At drug stores. Jos.Triner, 799 So.
