Miss Junebug Rossiter and
George Peabody were married
last week by Squire Bivings.
The bride a very ordinarily look¬

calico and she does’t know any

rabbit as she never helped her
mother live days in her life.
The groom is an up-to-date loafer,
and it is a well known fact that
he lias lived off his dad all his
life. If they raise anything, it
will be fleas arid bedbugs.

I was over at the railroad the
other day and found Chatsworth,
Eton and Kilmer all on a boom.
Just wait Mr. Ed until the D. &
A. road is built to Allendale and
then the real boom will be heard

the connecting towns of Spring
Place and Chattanooga will have
a perfect boomerang.
