PUSH ROOT
Last Sun, quite a few of our folks
went down to Burlington and took in the Republican speaking. There
was quite a good turn out but as is usual a t all political
gatherings within the last few years very little enthusiasm. The
Sears, Roebuck band from over about the Fountain furnished the music
for the occasion. They did very well as per usual. They are getting
to be a pretty good band. They can play alright sitting or standing
but can't do much on the wings as yet. The reason for this is an
excellent one and is no doubt absolutely so. It seems that every band
worth the name has to have a clarinet (?sic) and some one to play it
among them. They have this but as John Ed Stagg can't march and pat
his foot at the same time they naturally can't do much playing on the
wing if they could only get Ike Emmit to walk in front and beat time
with a pitch fork they might be able to lay on the march.
The political situation is about as
usual here. All three sides are making big gains and if their claims
are at all reliable, there are just 435 more voters here than the
registrars found. All parties concerned have ordered fire works and
fire water to celebrate with on election night. This makes a
celebration sure in any event. A procession will be formed at the
Camp Ground and will march due North about one mile to an old oak
tree where the jollification will take place. All are invited to
attend with torch in hand.
The boys hereabouts have it in fro
the trustees of the Burlington school because they employed a man to
teach the school at that place this winter. Girls are awful scarce,
the beaux of this community claim, and they look forward from one
year to the other to the coming of a female school teacher to their
midst. Then to have the school teacher turn up a man is very
provoking to say the least. To make matters worse the buggy and
automobile beaux from Burlington insist upon coming up here and
paying attention to our Minnie, which is unfair, as the boys around
here have not chance to get back at them unless they hide in a fence
corner and take a crack at some of them with a rock or over ripe egg.
This method of retaliation would necessitate staying up too late as
they rarely even start home before nine o'clock.
What have become of the weather
pronosticators? Now is the time for them to begin making their
weather predictions for the winter as the folks hereabouts would like
to know what kind of preparations to make before it gets too cold.
The black rings on the these wooly catapillars ordinarily show just
when to expect most of the weather. If most of the black is in front
all the bad weather will be early in the winter. If behind ice
gathering and sleighing will happen along about Ground Hog Day or
later. This year, the catapillars seem to be Republicans; that is
they are all split up. Some of them have all the black in front;
others have most of it behind; and still others haven't any at all.
This leaves this source of prognostication a little uncertain and the
folks are a little undecided just what to expect in the shape of weather.
PERSONALS
John Backlash, a great big overgrown
hired hand over at Fleatown, came over here one day and tried to
enroll as a pupil in our school. Minnie Swift, our enterprising
teacher, sent him back over the hill a flying. He just came over to
see her any how. She told him unless he stayed away she would have
Cam Arbogast, the artistic and sanitary plumber of Keyser, climb his
carcass. This scared John so bad he is likely to stay away for at
least two weeks.
Miss Laurel has begun to make
Christmas presents. She has already made five or six sets of Jack Oak
