EDITOR TRIBUNE We would like everybody
to know that we are farminp out this way
The corn is trying very hard to catch up will
the sunflowers.
Willie Esher is the smallest in stature of anj
farmer in the community , but he has a crop
that can not be beat by any in the county.
The picnic given by the Logan Alliance OD
the 20th was a grand success. Refresh mentE
of the best quality in abundance and good
music , but best of all was the good feeling
manifested by the people among themselves ,
as well as the kind and courteous treatment
they accorded to strangers. It would be well
for all Alliances to imitate Logan Alliance in
brotherly kindness. Quite a number of the
Driftwood Alliance were in attendance , and
we think some of the young people remained
at the table fishing for pieces of lemon a little
longer than was necessary. We heard one oi
the ladies of the Driftwood Alliance say that
she was ashamed of them.
In conclusion will say tbat we have bad
plenty of rain , so much tbat each farm has an
irrigation ditch of its own. QUID NUNC.
Happy Hoosiers ,
Wm. Timmons , Postmaster of Idaville , Ind. ,
writes : Electric Bitters has done more for
me than all other medicines combined , for
tbat bad feeling arising from kidney and liver
trouble. " John Leslie , farmer and stockman ,
of same place , says : "Find Electric Bitters
to be the best kidney and liver medicine , made
me feel like a new man. " J. W. Gardner ,
hardware merchant , same town , says : "Elec
tric Bitters is just tbe thing for a man who is
all run down and don't care whether he lives
or dies ; ho found new strength , good appetite
and felt just like he had a new lease on life.
