Mr. "Pompey" spoke of the use of temporary elevators in
search for that terrible monster. I wonder if those long slender
legs were the elevators? He need not fear that awful precipice,
as his legs are long enough to set foot on top of Mt. Ararat
and the other in the valley below.
Mr. B. Wilson moved his office Sunday eve.
Mr. W. E. Burke bought lot No. 550, Wilson's Addition, for
$2500, on which he intends to build a beautiful dwelling, the
town is improving.
Prof. Hogan will teach a music school in Denson Springs in
August--both vocal and instrumental. Prof. Hogan is a good

In order to show some of the good times we have been
having lately, I send these few lines to let those of your
readers know who had not the pleasure of participating.
The picnic at Cross Roads on Wednesday, July 13 was a big
thing, over five hundred people from "all parts of the world"
being in attendance. No fights of any kind and everything
passed off lovely. The Alder Branch and Cross Roads people
sure know how to entertain and feed and after the big spread
there was enough left to feed a hundred more mouths that

At night, the residence of Mr. Byron Singletary was thrown
open to "ye dancers" and among the gay and festive crowd we
noticed the Misses Davis, Carrolls, May Belle Butler, Susie
Bell DuPuy, Sallie Parks, Annie Ray, Miss Carpenter, Cora and
Flora Gray, Lottie Chambers, Fannie and Bettie Stewart, Dora
Glenn, Allie Chambers, Christine Horn, Miss Gammage and Mesdames
Glenn, Singletary and Mead. As for the "old ugly boys"
the most prominant were Messrs. McDaniels, Tom, Alton and Jim
Mead, John Day, Bivian Wolff, Ben Jackson, Clarence Davis,
Dick and Glenn Wright, the Davis boys, Fletcher Simon,
