Mrs. Mamie Hagan of Bowling Green, returned home Sunday after two weeks visit 
to her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Denham.

Tom Brooks we can well remember when a girl was using the word "kid" she was 
speaking about her gloves and not the little dirty boys on the street.

Mrs. Ray Cornwell of Louisville came down Sunday after her two sons, Edward 
and Henry.  They were visiting their grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Coffee.

The lucky girl is one with such attractive features.
All the boys are crazy to rush her off to the preacher.
But this day and time there are no homley girls-
They all have pretty faces and bobbed hair curls.
But a woman now that is over fifty passed,
Dresses like her daugher, - a six-teen years old lass.

Mrs. Lemmie Sanders spent two days last week here with relatives and friends.  
She returned to Smiths Grove Wednesday to the bedside of her sick daughter, 
Mrs. Nathan Scruggs.

Our old-fashioned men and boys could not pass a single saloon on the way home, 
but all the young fellows this day and time are not content unless they can 
pass everything on the way home.

Miss Mabel Allen, of Smiths Grove is visiting her aunt, Mrs. J. L. Sturgeon, a 
few days.

There is one thing certain-there is not as much waste in modern clothes as 
used to be, for you never see anything like hoops, bustles, straight-jackets, 
corsets, and whale-bone on the trash piles these days.

Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Whitehouse of Lebanon Junction, were the guests of his 
father, Mr. U. S. Whitehouse Sunday and Monday.  He returned home Monday and 
Mrs. Whitehouse will remain here for a few days.

Whenever you see a woman that lived 40 or 50 years happily with one man, she 
is not like the woman that has led five or six poor fellows to the altar and 
then lead them with a halter.
