BILL'S KISS.
Bill Mosquito sat astride a limb
In the swamp beyond the hill ;
There with sawer's cross-cut file
He sharped his bill.
Honey or molasses want I not,"
So he sang to passing miss
4 But you don't know how I'd love to
steal
From you a kiss."
4 How I love your smiling, rosy cheeks,
Your dear sweetheart only knows :
They would serve me better than
I your sweet
Molassy beaux.

Then the 'skeeter followed Helen
fair
To her home across the hill,
Aid a kiss so sweet, so sweet he got
'Twas with his bill.

C C. Wyatt is some better
but not able to sit up any.
J. T. Wyatt has been award
ed a contract for a lot of en
gine beds to go to Norwood,
and is having them got out.
Rev. Lyrley's high school
is very convenient for this
section. Don't have to send
off now to educate your chil
dren. Rev. J. N. Stallings preach
ed here Sunday evening to a
crowded house, and will
preach again the fourth Sun
day at 11 a. m.
If there was a church in
Faith it would be largely at
tended, because the people are
getting so thickly settled. It
is "hoped one will be built
soon.
Mr, and Mrs. Dave Rusher
moved into their new resi-
dence Saturday that was built
' by W. S. Earnhart. We were
! shown through the building,
! which is a very convenient
one.
If you have any pennyroyal
on your land you can sell it
to J. T. Wyatt at Faith who
has a man engaged in making
oil from it. It is now about
rii e for making oil. Drop him
postal card if you have any
to sell.
There will be an old time
singing at Faith next Satur
day at 10 a. m. Everybody is
invited to come and to bring
an old Southern harmony
song book if they have one.
The old faw-so-law singing
will be very interesting to
everybody.
We have just been shown
through the handsome new
residence of Mr. John L. Ren
dleman, near Mt. Hope, that
was built by D. A. Wiley. It
is a large, roomy house, and
the painter is now putting on
the finishing tonches. It is
being painted inside and out.
The mantels are neatly deco
rated. Their little adopted
daughter, Miss Pearl, is at
home from , Mt. Pleasant col
lege but will return next Mon
day.
D. A. Hodge now has the
largest team in the Rocks.
He is prepared to, haul big,
heavy loads of granite, etc.
We heard that two cars load
ed with granite, one with line
dressed granite for Fisher fe
Gardner, and one with curb
ing for B. A. Fesperman, ran
away from , the top of the
mountain and was demolish
ed, cars, granite and all. The
sidetrack has a high place in
it, and when the cars pass it
they are often derailed. The
company ought to level the
track. There is a big demand
for this granite and the com
pany should look to their in
terests at the quarry siding.

H. T. Graeber's two barns
and granary was burned to the
ground last Thursday about
4 o'clock i). m. Besides th
buildings some of his other
flosses wTere ay follows : Three
wagons, one reaper, one feed
cutter, four diogs, nearly 200
bushels of wheat, about 100
bushels of oats, some corn,
feed-stuff, etc. Insurance is
not sufficient to pay all losses,
but may pay as much as half
of the whole loss. The fire
was caused by a stroke of
lightning, which reduced the
buildings in a short time. Mr.
and Mrs. Graeber were not at
home at the time of the occur-
Uno.
The Shaver Gold Mine.
The Shaver gold mine near
Lisk in Morgan township is
being worked again and is
yielding a bountiful supply
of rich ore. Tbis is one of the
richest, perhaps the richest
miner in the county. It was
worked some time ago but
the owners suspended work
until they finished their crops.
This done they have returned
to the mine and are sinking
one of the shafts deeper. The
shaft Is about thirty feet deep
and the vi eld increases as they
get further down. The mine
promises to be one of great
i profit.
