A Wolf Slayer.
Charley McHeynolds, living a mile
and a half south of town is success
ful In catching wolves. One week
ago he killed a large gray wolf and
Thursday night he trapped another
one. Wolves seem to he quite num

certainly becoming quite bold when
they come up within a stone's throw
of a man's home as these did. Get
your shot guns In shape boys, and
If each one of us does as well as Mr.
McReynolds you can bet your hot
torn dollar the pesky varmints will
soon bo thinned out.
Valley Farm."
Last Saturday night Jenkins hall
was filled to overflowing to witness
the play Valley Farm," a domestic
drama In four acts, rendered solely
by home talent. It Is not necessary
to remark that each one acted their
parts to perfection, and several play
ed like professionals. The Journal
expected a write-up from one who
was there, but the same failed to
show up. The play was given for
the benefit of the Christian church,
amounted to over $90. 00, which sure
ly demonstrated that the people of
Murray appreciate the efforts of the
young people of that town. Miss
Pauline Oldham, who managed the
affair deserves great credit for her
efforts in drilling the players, and In
bringing It to a successful conclu
sion. Next week we will give a more
complete write-up of the event.

Ill Honor Jake Itrendel.
Everybody calls Dr. J. F. Rrendel,
of Murray, Jake. He Is quite pop
ular with all who know him, and they
all know that he is soon to lead to the
hymenlal altar one of the most ac
complished and successful teachers
In Cass county. In honor of this
event his male friends of Murray en
tertained him Tuesday evening, or
night, in a manner that was most
highly appreciated. Among the
amusements was a mock trial, in
which Dr. Gilmore performed the
part of attorney on one side, and It
Is said that the speech he made In
defense of the plaintiff, reminded
some of the speeches of Champ Clark
of Missouri. They came to the con
elusion after the speech that Doc had
missed his calling and should have
been a lawyer. We cannot eniimcr
ate the many other amusements, suf
fice is to say that Dr. Hrendel highly
appreciated the good time, as did
all the friends present.
