r The Butler Vesti ~* VOL. XXXIX. Nyhart Sunbeams. Hello folks, here I come with tidings from ‘‘Peaceful Valley.’’ By the way, did you know that the fountain of perpetual youth for which Ponce de Leon sought ~ so diligently, is located right here in Peaceful Valley? Well, it is, and any of the natives will show you the spring and invite you to drink and not charge you 2 cent. If you want to be ‘‘sunny’’ and live again the days of your youth we invite you. When I read the speeches of Hughes, Wilson, Bryan, Reed and others and compare them with the firey outbursts which occur daily at the cross roads emporium of Mayor Campbell how puerile and insignificant- they appear. Seems like all the statesmen are one the farms yet. Bob Sprouls the genial ‘‘hill billy’? just north of Nyhart, killed a ‘‘hawg’’ the other day and brought the ‘‘mayor’’ some fine country sausage. Aside from being a socialist and a little bit “queer’’ at times, Bob is a real good fellow. In Bates county there are about a million men whose mothers raised their boys to be a soldier— at least you’d think so to hear them. talk of wanting war with Mexico. But say, just wait till the call comes and see them hike for the woods. made me sore. All in vain my humble pleading, for he blustered on unheeding, said a ‘‘cussin’’ I was needing—should have had it long before. Here I grabbed my old six shooter, then I said you “‘nop-eyed hooter’’ get you go- ing from my house and come back never, never more; and he mur- mured as he scooted for the door, ‘*Never more.’” P. S—It was only a ‘‘dream”’ and the noise was made. by a “section hand’? on his way to work who had left his tobacco at home and wanted a dime’s worth of Horse Shoe. SUNNY JIM. Mt. Carmel News.

Aye —_ Mrs. Pal Englehardt has be quite sick with malarial fever at the home of her sister, Mrs. Wm. Simpson. Dr. Lockwood was out to see her Tuesday of last. week. She is getting along nicely which her many friends will be glad to know. In the meantime Pal is **baching.’’ Some one asked,me the other day ‘‘when the war in Europe would be ended” and I said that so far as I have been able to in- form myself I thought the end would come soon as the ‘‘war was over” and I don’t know of any- one who ean give a more intelli- gent answer, do you?. Somebody has produced an *‘odorless’’ onion, So the onion farmer may as well put away the hoe and rake. Who on earth would bother eating onions if they can’t have the pleasure of blowing their onion — scented breath in the face of some one who don’t eat onions. I hope the report is not truce, *twould be a calamity indeed. I attended a good roads ‘‘meet- in’ ’’ last week at Cornland school house under the auspices of But ler Commercial Club. The meet- ing was very interesting. The speakers were -a little ‘‘back- ward’? about coming ‘‘forward”’ but all acquitted themselves nob- ly. It listens good and I hope their plans for the Jeferson High- way may be fully carried out. Our game warden, J. A. Patter- son, left last Monday on the 10:05 train headed north. I asked him where he was going and he‘said ‘sealed orders.’’ Don’t know where he was going but he was on his way. Poachers and law breakers would better be careful for Doe. will gather ’em in. - An ‘‘odorless’’ onion and _ that ain’t all, some one has developed a ‘‘puckerless persimmon’’—will wonders never cease. Soon we may expect to have an ‘‘odorless skunk’’ or a skunk who carries a sachet powder. Ain’t it awful. Let the road be rough and dreary and it end far out of sight, foot. it bravely, strong or weary, vote for Wilson—He’s all right. Once upon a dark night dreary, as I puzzeled faint and weary, over half a hundred bills I should have paid before, suddenly there came a tapping, ’twas the sheriff loudly rapping—boldly asking for admission to my little ‘‘cross- roads’’ store. Nothing less and nothing more. Open, then I flung the portal, when in stepped a lord- ly mortal with a star as big as ‘*Venus’’ one I ne’er had seen be- fore. Loudly he began to sputter and I’ll swear he did not stutter. He could speak the plainest ‘‘lin- “he was sonte talker ‘‘shore.’’ Not a minute stopped or stayed he— with vitrolic tongue he .—told of all the mean things ‘had ever done before. Said I was at the home of her parents, F and Mrs. D. C. Wolfe and family, near Virginia. E. E. Eggleson has improved his 40 acres west of Mt. Carmel church by digging a large pond on it. Wonder if he doesn*t in- tend to use it for a swimming pool next summer. UNCLE HENRY. John Argenbright left Tuesday for Little Rock, Arkansas, where he will spend the winter.
