Well, people, 1 must say ‘‘adios."’ IT thank you for the kindly manner in whieh y ceived ‘‘Sunny Jim.’’ I feel that my usefulness in the journalism field is not-over, not by any means, but I received a macaroni wireless by ‘‘telephone’’ from the editorship asking me to lay off my stuff. Since the Sunny Jim items began the circulation of the Weekly Times has iner®ased so much that he finds it impossible to supply the demand and so I must bid you a very reluctant adieu until—next week. When TF hear folks *‘talkin dis- couragin’’ like, I cant help ‘feelin’’ like telling them that it |} took Noah 624 years to build his old bodt. Folks laughed at him, but he never lost his ‘nerve’’— went right along and bye and bye came the big rain. He may have felt afraid at times, but the main re-. fact ia that he was no ‘‘quitter.’”) O, what a lesson for us at. this time, ‘‘Do'nt quit.’ Be brave and sunny. . Why are sso high? Now y. Some one an- swered because they are scarce, but are they? No. Another says “a corner on eggs.”’ Wrong again. What’s the answer? Just this, some fellow has placed on the market an egg producing stimulation and his add re as follows: *‘Money in eggs and? ‘‘Bingo’” every preson who 7 gets hold of an egg proceeds to break it open expecting to find a “one dollar William’? packed in- side the shell. Ain't it awful? Of course T read all the adver- tisements. That’s why | ‘know so much.’* Some queer ones too there be.

West Side Square Elkhart, We are having a fine spell of weather and the farmers are us- ing it to a good advantage. There is lots of plowing being done. George ‘Hand arid Alex Grad- har of Adrian are out in Elkhart shredding corn. J. ‘R. Scott, G. W. Armentrout, Jim Allen and R. L. Seott all had their corn shredded last week. tog R. L. Scott had a sick horse last Saturday but he. pulled through all right. oS John Halfert and wife took in the sights at Garden City one day last week. pHi Miss Cordie Bruner spent one night last week at the home of Lige Spillman. There is going to be a box and pie supper at Lone Star school house in about. bigs Bote soca Unele Charley Henderson was seen roaming around last week hunting for a fat hog. George Pahlman and wife took dinner at his father’s on Thanks- giving. We haven’t heard wheth- er he got foundered or not. We told him to be careful about eat- ing. His wife said that she would watch him and cut him off: Uncle Bob Marshall seems to be all right. since the election. We think that he will vote the Dem- ocrat ticket in four years from last Sunday at the home in Elkhart. and they report a good time. that you have night. day evening. 8.

We didn’t hear of anybody hav- ing turkey out in this part. We guess that they roosted too high. Mr. Knight of Adrian was out in-Elkhart one day last week writ- ing up insurance for some of the We heard that Ed Bailey got the premium at the pie supper at Concord for being the laziest man Will Kershner made a. flying trip down in the Ozark Hills and down in Arkansas. He reports didn’t look good to him JOHNNY. | sarte: And do you know it recalled the days when I was a sinall hoy go- ing to school. There a fellow could get a “‘buggie’’ top for nothing. Several of us had them too well. Yes. we ‘‘sho’’ did. Sam Patterson, time keeper for the K. C. S. railroad, came in to spend the week end with his par- ents, Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Patter- son, of Nyhart. Sam is one of the “get there sort’’ and altho he sul- fered the loss of his left hand a few years since, he can-do more work (or does more work) than most men do with two hands. You see Sam uses his head as well as his hand. And that’s what counts, A village is an assemblage of houses smaller than a town or city and larger than a ‘‘hamlet.’’ Now what in sam hill is a ‘‘hamlet.”’ What I want to say is, Nyhart is better than either of ‘em. | Quite SO. I heard two fellows ‘‘talkin’ the other day. One said it was 239 thousand miles to the moon, The other one said it was a “mile farther’? and I just spoke up and said, says I, I don’t know how far it is to the moon, but it‘ “some distance to roasting ears”’ and ‘new potatoes.’?’ We would better be ‘‘figerrin’’ how to get through the winter. The moon will go on doing business at the same old place regardless, ‘‘ Ain't it?” Oh, | may be a little plain in my talk at times but I never lose sight of the ‘‘main. chance’? and if folks would ‘‘work more’’ and “talk less of hard times’’ they would have more to eat and wear and things would look brighter. Get the habit. Some one once said ‘‘conscience makes cowards of us all.’’? May- be that’s true, but I don’t believe it, for if it were true I know some folks who would have killed themselves a long while ago “running away from conscience. ”’ Most of us think of ‘‘tomor- row’’ too few of us think of our “‘yesterdays.’’ Tomorrow never comes. It is always in the future. But, what did you do ‘‘yester- day?’’ Let us think of our ‘‘yes- erdays”’ and by so doing ‘‘make brighter our tomorrow.”’ Say, it looks as if I have start- ed something that will be hard to stop. You remember a few weeks ago I told of a plan to recuce the .cost of living at home, ‘“‘viz’’— eat only one meal at home and the “other two’’ among your friends, and by gingo, I have them all run- ning in circles. Every fellow is trying to find the other fellow at home and it seems to be a case of “not if I see you first,’? I’m aw- fully sorry I spoke. Mrs. A. M. Hunter of San Jose, Cal., arrived in Butler on the 8:10 train Monday evening for an ex- tended visit with Mr. and Mrs. Sunny Jim and Mr. Pyle of South Delaware St. Mrs.. Hunter is a daughter of Mr. Pyle and a sister of Mrs. Sunny Jim. ~ I notice that recently a man was granted a divorce because -now all right. 2 his wife refused to cook his meals. | ‘| Thanksgiving day with the And, at that, I vote him a winner. ‘Think what might have happened if she “had cooked his meals.’”? It seems he’s ‘alive yet.” I read of a soldier captured by the Germans who was turned back hecause he could throw his knee cut of joint, and appear to be a cripple, and so he deceived the <Duteh.”? Well, in case of war with Mexico there are about a million men in Missouri who could throw several kinds of ‘‘fits’? if they could get by with it and be “turned back?’ and most likely they would. = Wilson's message to Congress will contain two thousand words, Will Tread it? Well, no, not none “a-tall.” What's the use? What Ww osays is of no material differ- chee us it is generally conceded that the country is safe anyway. So why should L worry? SUNNY JIM.
