Fortune Smiled on Him. ,
Many of our citizens have in the
last few days noied ami commented
on the actions of our editor and were
at a loss to account for his unusual
gay and boisterous laugh and happy
countenance, but the cause is easily
explained. lie received a letter this
week that contained a $2 bill in pay¬
ment for subscription, and the
thoughts of having so much money
all at one time,,was too much lor
Liny hence his hilariousness.

The war in the Philippines is
hot no doubt, and our boys are tired
of chasing the enemy about; but
that war is nothing to the one soon 1
to be seen, when Deacon Hash arrays
his forces against General Green ;
his first lieutenat, A1 organ, will lead
the gallant band and drive the in¬
vader from the face of the land; with
the help of Corporal Dinkins, Pottle
and George, their the winning coon, we the have victory no

■ The idea has occurred to us that
it would be nice for the Journal
correspondents point to have the a picnic at a
central in county some¬
time during the summer. We feel
quite sure that such an occasion
would be heartily enjoyed and would
afford an opportunity for meeting
mingling with one another,
thereby estabi.shing closer and more
pleasant relations. Wc would like
t,o hear from all our correspondents
on the subject and any suggestions
they have to offer.
A itefvcslmig llaia.
Tht long wished for rain lias come
at last and as a consequence our
people are rushing things at a lively and
rate. The, fields of thirsty corn
languishing gardens were refreshed
and made to bound forth with new
life and vigor by the timely rain of
last week, and all our neighbors are
now in joyful anticipation of being
able soon to enjoy a mess of fried
corn; eyen ye hungry printer has
hopes of getting a chance to smell
the appetizing aroma as.it is wafted
on the breeze from the kitchen of
our inoie fortunate brother.
