' Do you want to see a pretty
sight? If you do, take a stand
" at some corner and wait until
you see a pretty team of horses
pulling a new buggy and a
heavy set man within with a pipe
in his mouth driving. You’ll see
a sight.
This is the way a Missourian
confessed at a camp meeting,
says an exchange: "Dear
Friends, ” says Bill, "I feel the
spirit moving me to talk and tell
what a bad man I have been, but
I can’t do it while the grand jury
is in session. ” “The Lord will for
give, ” shouted the preacher,
"I guess that’s all right,” said
Bill, “but he ain’t on the grand
jury.”

Oh yes, the country is in a
wonderful state of prosperity.
Our landlords and merchants
combined with the different mo
nopolies have got a "cinch” on
all of the money and means of
making money there is in this
wonderful land of the free and
the home of the brave. But Bill
cays, "thank God, speedy help
is coming. There is a sound be
ing borne on every breeze that
•will quickly knock out all of the
whimperings that are caused by
hungry stomachs.” It comes
from the city of Delapidation
that sitteth among the beautiful
green frog ponds and the sound
is like unto the croakings there
of. It also comes in a beauti
fully distinguishing roar from
Little Rock but, behold the loud
est sound comes from Washing
ton city and that is the one that
is going to do the most good in
quelling the wonderful cry that
arises from the great prosperity
of the starving poor. These val
uable sounds vary in key, only
they range from forty octaves
below to forty octaves above,
but .they mean "more salary,
more salary, ” and they will get
it, and so they should because
you know that when anyone
wants anything real hard they
should have it. Also that will
effectually close the mouth of the
unreasonable laboring man who
has the temerity to complain that
the crops were short and that
when he had satisfied the robbery
and extortion of his landlord and
merchant there was nothing left
to feed his family. Also that
cry will put new joy in the heart
and bring gladness to the eyes
of his poor over-worked wife
who although she expects to go
until the crops are sold next fall
before she can have a calico
dress or a pair of "stoga” shoes
is perfectly radiantly happy and
proud to think that our lords and
masters are going to get more
salary.

A Day’s Outing.
On last Saturday, the families
of Robert McDaniel, M. J, John
son and H. J. Cariker, took the
necessaries of life with them for
a day’s outing on White Lake.
Uncle Sutton was along and
caught 19 fine fish. There were
47 captured in all, besides that
grinnel which caused H. J. so
much fun(?). we couldn’t swear
to this as we were not present,
but this is the way we heard it.
i Henry was standing on a chunk
of a log at the water’s edge fish
ing as earnestly as a man can
well do after milking Pied before
breakfast. As we were saying,
H. J. had been catching fish with
good results. As he was now
wishing a chew of Pot Luck, he
held the fishing arrangment in
one hand went after the aforesaid
and the same in the secret cham
bers of his trouser pockets.
While H. Jonah was thus engag
ed, along came one of these scaly
cats, sometimes called grinnel,
bit and pulled. As the cat pull
ed, Henry, chunk and all began
to slide into the Lake and Jonah
was raising more sand than a
cyclone can on the Sahara Des
sert, going at the rate of 100 miles
per hour. Jonah w’as so over
come by the occu ranee and not
wishing to loose his fishing pole,
held right on. Had it not been
for the timely arrival of M. J.
Johnson and Bob McDaniel with
a skiff and snake medicine, Me
Crory might have been the looser
of an energetic street committee
man. Neighbors, don’t tease Jo
nah about this matter as he can’t
bear to be approached on this sub
ject; so please don’t call him Jo
nah.
All had a most enjoyable time,
with Jonah’s exception. We hope
Pot Luck will never again cause
such a calamity.

THE BIRTHDAY SOCIAL.
On last Tuesday night, the lit.
tie children enjoyed the hospital
ity of Miss Cora Phillips on the
vacant lot between the Fakes
Mercantile Co.’s building and
John Phillips ’ store. There is no
place in town better suited for
such an event and the way the
little people enjoyed themselves
was enough to cause enjoyment
for the older ones. Refreshments
were served from start to finish,
Plenty of ice-cream and cakes for
all and an abundance left over.
There were some 75 children pre
sent, besides some 50 grown peo
ple. The plays of the children,
reminded us of years long gone
by; but how vividly memory re
calls it all. It reminds us of what
the poet said, “Lulled in the se
cret chambers of the brain,
Our thoughts are linked by ma
ny a hidden chain;
Awake but one, and low what
myriads rise.
Each stamps its image as the
other flies.”
The evening’s past-time was
a grand affair and Mr. and Mrs.
Phillips deserve a great deal of
credit for giving the little people
of our town an oppotunity for a
little past-time. In this day of
business and worry, the little
people, who will soon take our
places in the world, are often neg
lected and given less attention
than our duty demands. Let us
all see the children have more
such evenings of pleasure, for
there is nothing so stimulating
and invigorating as a little time
spent with our thoughts drawn
away from life and all that life
means.

Extreme hot weather is a great
tax upon the digestive power of
babies; when puny and feeble
they should be given a few doses
of White’s Cream Vermifuge,

they soon become strong, healthy
and active. 25c at Dr. J. B. Neal.

To have good health, the body
should be kept in a laxative con

least once a day. so that all the
poisonous wastes are expelled
daily. Mr. G. L. Edwards, 142
