A., ) Feb; nary, 1893. j Mr. Editor Would you and your readers like to have a lew lit¬ tle jottings—a mixture—-a medley from Rambler as he stops a little while to rest by the way? * * IIow refreshing it is to get out of the noise and confusion of railroad and city life, and to spend a little while in your quiet, modest little town. The traveler may rest assur¬ ed that friend Dopson and wife and charming little daughter will ever make it as restful and pleasant for him as possible. * * While in your little city the Ram¬ bler means to be just as good as he knows how, lest violent hands be laid on him by your efficient Mar¬ shal, who seems to he ever on the lookout for evil doers, and who is said to make all delinquents “stand up to the rack, fodder or no fodder.’ Doubtless he can explain following : A jug of rum, A drunken man, A hungry horse, And Swan-e-^raa. The Rambler picked up the fol¬ lowing four lines, which can cer¬ tainly be explained by a young M. J)., and by another who sometimes makes the welkin (anvil) rirg.— Listen : Two double teams often seen, Inclement (Clements) though the weather be; As smoothly on the wings of speed, They travel eastward—do you see? And this : Bis Charlie, Bel, and Kl-ino-rs, With Wilbur, F., and Marcus P , Bat in a circle, round and round, While Democrat &1., <&1. A present Cross, An inward smart ; An absent Cross, A happy heart. It is said that an ece'esiastic, well known in these parte, became a little nervous recently when a certain couple came in church a little late, after “Madam Rumor” had gotten in some pretty good work ; but said ecclesiastic explain¬ ed his nervousness as the effect of a dose of quinine taken the night before. By ihe way, the Rambler had an opportunity of attending divine ser¬ vice in Sycamore several weeks ago, and be it said to the praise of the people, they were ordeily and attentive, and entered with spirit into the singing which was good-- heightened by the skilful touch of the organist. They seemed to en¬ ter fervently into tbe service. Your minister seems to be well cared for which may speak well alike, for the Christian liberality of the people and for the good work of the oflieL aiu ol the church. * # My time is now out and the train will he here in a little while. These rambling thoughts have caused the Rambler to pass, almost unnoticed, the hour—so pleasantly it came and went. Success to you and your worthy enterprise, and to all the good peo¬ ple of Sycamore. Very truly yours, Rambler, From IrwituviHe. Irwinville, Fob., 20, 1893. Mb. Editor Did you get a val¬ entine? A certain young lady with whom are acquainted did ; ii was a sight. She wants another, but the gpe ehe wants must breathe rnascu- line ifir, an 1 then we are of the opinion that the m-x*. thing wanted will be a ronrjinge license, then a cook stove, washing machine, sew- ir.g machine, an ox and lust, but not Irani, a J v. [If the boy is in tbe notion for a pair of marriage licenses, all right, we think the girl is.—E d.] March winds will bring back to our midst a sheepskin and another gentleman, whose energy, pluck and perseverance will soon place hiir. in the front ranks of his pro¬ fession, and Irwinville will, no doubt, greet him with much and lasting appreciation. The sick will he healed, the lame made to walk and tbe blind receive their sight from tire able phd , John Luke, M. I)., late of the Louisville College of medicine. Success to hnr. We much regret- to hear that the school near Irwi viile, G 11 , taught by Miss Vio a Hall,of Eastman, baa been discontinued. Her smiles and pleasant face will be missed by the surrounding community. Dear M——, thou art an early bird, And now since “Cieve” controls You'll not let. other birds get worms, And leave you watching holes.
