The party at Mrs. Hurt’s
Saturday night was quite a
success and well enjoyed by all

become a close friend of the
ax, cross cut saw, and sledge
hammer, which he wields with
exquisite pleasure in Chas.

people who have had cattle in
Black river bottoms have tak

them on feed in the barnyard.
Grover McCoy s little girl

The fine weather of the ear
ly part of the week found al

What Dad Thinks
About The Journal
Sometimes dad says The
Journal somehow ain’t got up
right, and he does a lot of
kickin’ when he reads it Sat
urday night. He says there
ain’t a blooming thing in it
worth while to read, and that
it doesn’t print the kind of
stuff the people need. He
throws it in the corner and
says its on the bum—but you
ought to hear him holler when
The Journal fails to come.
He reads about the weddin’s
?nd snorts like all git out; he
reads the local columns with a
most derisive shout. He’ll read
about the parties and he’ll fuss
and groan and say they print
the paper for women folks
alone. He says that of infor
mation it doesn’t contain a
crumb—but you ought to hear
him holler when The Journal
fails to come.
He is always first to grab it
and he reads it through and
through—he doesn't miss an
item or a want ad. old or new.
“ I hey don't know what we
want, them newspaper guys.
I’ll take a day off some time
and go and put them wise.” If
I editors were as wise as dad
they’d sure be going some, but
vou ought to hear him holler
when The Journal fails to
come.
And when dad goes ’way
and stays a day or two, I tell
vou he gets riled and says aw
ful things he’ll do. if the pap
er fails to mention him as
being out of town—well, he
almost has r notion to knock
some printer down. He never
does, however, when he sees
one he is mum, but you ought
to hear him holler when The
Journal fails to come.
THEY NAMED HIM BILL
“Why do they call the baby
‘Bill?’ ”
“He was born on the first of
the month.’
