argYle gleanings.
Air. Editor:—If you can
me a short space in your
paper again this week, 1 will try
and tell you, as near as possible,
what our little town and vicinity
are doing.
Farmers are busily engaged
laying bv their crops.
We learn that Air. 11. Rives has
tinail\ lost his crop, on account of
the animals (especially buffaloes)
from the swamp. Lookout, Mr.
Rives,,the next news you know,
the buffaloes will be feeding those
“blind tigers” that are running
over the desolate plains without
food or even eyes.
We are glad to note that “Ala¬
nia’s Pet” is improving, after a
severe attack of heart failure. She
, .
| crept Saturday over afternoon, to our little town last
and consulted
Dr. G. P. Smith, who gave her
immediate relief.
One of our young gents came to
the conclusion last week that he
wanted a wife. He placed himself
in the same place for several
times trying to get the girl, and
the first thing he knew, the
boys were out squirrel hunting,
Their dogs began running, and
they thought a fox chase had
started. When they- reached the
dogs they had the gent up a per-
simtnon tree. He claimed he was
bird hunting, and, not thinking
anything, they wont on. Later in
the day he met a traveling man,
who told him to work the
Toot on her or baptize his papa’s
old black dog, and he would win
her.* He baptized the black dog
and called on the young lady, but
failed; so he returned home
drowned papa’s pet cat. AVe de-
sire him to try some other plan.
Many thanks to 11 Dish Rag
Dan’’ for his compliment in
last week’s issue. AVe wclcomehim
as a correspondent, as he is th
only dish rag we have. lie says
the grass is so thick ants can’t
get through. We don’t wonder at
the buffaloes and “blind tigers”
grazing. If the grass is as thick as
lie says it is, it is dangerous to go (
in Echols county, for we
would never find the way out.
Mr. J. R. Booth says he has
melons in abundance, and will
soon begin picking them. AVe will |
over and help Mr. Booth '
go
judge them, so weean learn to tell ;
a fipe melon in the dark,
It seems that bee roasting and
honey taking is the order of the
day.
I reckon Dupont Stockton, Bal¬
loon, Lyken and Simians are all
dead, is why we can never hear
from them.
Let’s see if our little town of
Cutting can’t afford a few words
next week.
AYe die not see anything from
“Uncle Iliram” last week. AY’ake
up, old man, and let’s have tire
news.
Mr. P. Parker, of Troy, Ala.,
was the guest of his son, .Air. E.
C. Parker, last week.
Much success to the Editor and
all our readers.
Papa’s Pet.

Dear Mr. Editor: Here
the little pet again to till her
in your interesting paper, and
thank “Dish Rag Dan” for
kind words to “Mamma’s
and to show “Papa’s Pet” I
still living, if 1 did have that
vere attack of heart failure. It
was enough to give any pet heart
failure to see so many boys
girls out “sparking.”

Saturday was very fine. The men

prepared, of which all freely par¬
took. Many were present, and
seemed to enjoy the day line.
Hurrah ! boys, and talk up the
picnic and let’s have one near
Hybert soon. Just show a willing
mind and all will join in and help
you, and I’m sure it will be a suc-
cess, as the good folks around
Hybert have nowr yet failed in
undertakings.
With best wishes to the
and all it s correspondents, l bid
you adieu.
