Sdmeoie oalled us an old block
hauler, but we aren’t cause we

the business nohow.

Brinkley Friday evening to at
tend the bedside of his brother,
who was very seriously injured

heartened over the dry weather.
If anyone is taking this dry

Wilder, they certainly have our
sympathy.
Several of our boys are “bach
ing” while at work in the timber.
For instance, Charley Bowen is
cooking for eight. We allow
they have plenty and that that’s
good, for Charley has stirred the
“averages” before.
We were awakened Wednes
day morning by the sweet strains
of music which fell from the in
struments of the Tip string band
as they were on their way home
from the dance at Meridith. It
was certainly a rare treat and
“pa” said he wished they would
come around every evening.
