t(jt slie has made no "ruisinke in " her
choice in a husband. The PntJVS-JofRSAh
wishes this young couple a long anJ
happy life.
Mr. Charles II. Umtt has moved his

business. Mr. Unit I , or Ch it as he Is
usuallv called, has many friends, and we

meet with success, for he ha thequalid

wilti the public. We wish linn success
and introduce to the public as one worthy
of their patronage.
The Loafer.
We all like visitors and are seldom so
busy but what we spire and enjoy a few
minutes in visiting and discussing things
in a general way, but when it comes to
a loufer we draw the line, and say his'
room is better 1 ban his company.
The loafer has nothing to do, or don't
do any thing, therefore he imugines that
other people are like himself.
The print shop is a busy place, but,
never too busy for visiting friends and
for such our latch string always hangs
on the outside; but for ths man or boy
that has nolhutg to do but to loaf we
kindly ask you to pass on.

We learned while in Gordon last week
' " C. I. U ladies .f that plate
were circulating a utcnpti jn paper
that they might meet the deficit in the
school fund. Tlie saloon men lay great
sires on inn one irntiif . that ulii
make p:entv of school money. The
ladies in this move are in the right direc
tion, and what we want is more such
people, ahd all that iielieve in educating
their children with honest money should
contribute freely to this kind of a way
of meeting a deficiency and there
in' takeaway all the excuse - they have
for a aloon. Will the ladies f other

We ho e that tbey may.

until the whistle blew which let us know
tney were ready to saw. As soon as the
house work was done our hostess, self
and all the little folks Went to watch
them saw; It remind -d us of old days to
see the shilling saw take nT nice smooth
hoards la-fore me. Wasn't there many
minutes until we were told to chop wood
for the engine Of course we had to
mind and the sticks of wood fl-iw pretty
lively for a moment and had cut enough
then and hi we went over near the s;iw
then the vawy-r told us to tend the levr

passed all too soon. They had to go
home to their' work. It was Mrs Lewis'
birthday and she was telehraiing it
so it. was er.j iy,thle for all, and we hoe
for many more "Oh hear," we wish
we could write all we think about our
visit but are getting a lilt le bit afraid of
the waste basket, so will not say much
more. We hd to come home Wednes
day as we promised the little folks at
home we would, so they stopped the
mill t 4:1-1 and Mr. Jones brought us to
Harrison where we took the train for
home and he went back to Siwdust.
Had a most pleasant visit: PearU was
at the, train glad to see us, but they did
so well keeping house they would not
have cared if we had stayed longer.
They certainly did fine for it being the
first time they ever stayed at home more
than "v day.
