Well boys, I think there was
just a little mistake about Will
Bolton saying that the Bird hill1
bad his eyes. Boys, it is not the
hill that has his eyes, it is one of
those pretty “birds.” We are
not posted as to which one it is;
whether it is the pretty red one

knows.
Hello! Wiville is coming to

Some of our farmers went to

Wanted: An unabridged die
tionary,1901 edition.. We always
like to keep up with the times,
but we have heard some of our
smallest men using some of the
“biggest” words imaginable,
Some of these must be new, as
we cannot find them in our die
tionary; hence this ad.
The gas engine is still running
and old Tip is still on a boom. We
wonder if the saw mill will run bj
gas. Some one understood us tc
say last week that gaswentup;we
said the supply was high; the
price is lower than was ever
known before. It is of an inferior
kind that has run the price down,

that rate, it will soon thin out
the stock in our neighborhood.

Again the angle of death has

and at school. He wras about 14;
years old.

Mr. Chaney is a very wise man.
Ho therefore took advantag of our
merchants and shipped his
cotton, and as he did not receive
a reply for sometime he became
very “anxious” and would visit
the post-office three times a day
looking for a letter, He soon be
came tender-footed ai this and as
he could no longer go, he had an
enormous box rolled in front of
his house and ordered the mail
carrier to place his mail in it,
i hence he has become much bet
ter, but still has to ride when he
goes any-where

St. Louis is ablaze with colored
posters heralding the great an
nual event in American, newspa
per-making, namely, the appear
ance, Dec. 15, of St. Louis Post
Dispatch’s Christmas number.
This year all the leading month

bulk or literary and pictorial out
lay what the Post-Dispatch has
billed for the Christmas number,
Dec. 15. Bret Harte, America’s
greatest writer of Christmas sto
ries, has turned from the month
ly magazines and given his
Christmas story to the Post-Dis

ter—her father created the
Christmas story—con tributes
her Christmas story also to the
Post-Dispatch. And the child
ren’s suplement! Come, gather
closely, children! There will be
four whole pages of children’s
games printed in the colors of
the rainbow and the child that
solves a puzzle will get $25 in
gold. Indeed, the whole paper
will be a rainbow in coloring—
the biggest rainbow that big cir
culation-mad papers of the pre
sent day have yet rolled out on
lightening presses and sold for
less than cost in the struggle for
circulation supremacy.
