               Clippings from the S. A. K.'s Tiger of Spearsville
                                  -------------

   We are glad to have Mr. E. L. Frost with us again. He returned greatly improved 
in health.
   Mr. Henry Henderson, of Junction City, was a visitor of this place Sunday, the 
7th inst. There must be some attraction over here.
   Several of our neighbors are to start for Texas this week. Among them are:
Messrs. S. H. Rockett, W. E. Rockett and J. J. Hollis. We wish them a pleasant and 
profitable trip.
   Miss Effie Davis, accompanied by Miss Sallie Lou Cobb, visited her parents at 
Cherry Ridge this week.
   Several of our friends attended the sale at Blanchard last Friday. It seems there 
is some money in the hands of the people yet.
   Mr. C. H. Cherry and his sisters, Misses Ida and Mamie, visited relatives in the 
"west-gourd-neck" settlement last Saturday eve.
   Mr. E. P. Kirkpatrick, who is attending school at this place, visited his parents 
at Marion Friday.
   The U. S. Marshal has been in the country looking after the "rum" makers. We hear 
he made some arrests.
   The Junction City opera house was thronged Saturday night with eager spectates 
[sic] to see the exercises of the "Dorothy" troupe.
   Mr. J. O. Buckley returned home Saturday, after several days canvassing with his 
books.
   The S. A. K. was highly entertained by the M. O. M. Friday afternoon. The exercises 
were a fair success, and especially Prof. Mason's address to the M. O. M. which might 
apply, also, to the S. A. K. so far as "extremes" are concerned. Such as this is highly 
appreciated by the Society.
                                                                   W. E. CASTLEBERRY,
                                                                   C. B. McGEE, Editors
