USEFUL NAMES
"A little nonsense now and then,
Is relished by the best of men"
Names are sometimes useful
as well as ornamental, and a lit
tle ingenuity to associate and ar
range them, often gives pleasing
expression..
We once read of a prosperous
farmer who had five grown
daughters, who in course of time
grew up and left the parental
roof tree for homes of their re
spective choosing. The first to
marry chose a man named Poor,
while the second wed a Mr. Lit
tle, and the third exchanged her
name for that of Short. The
fourth was a lover of color and
tied up to Brown, jurt common
Brown for life. Now the last,
no doubt had higher aspirations,
but her love for pork predomi
nated, and she married an indi
vidual whose euphonious sur
name was Hogg. After the cer
mony was over which absolved
his last daughter from parental
rule, and congratulations ended,
the old gentleman arose, his
sons-in-law and daughters being
present, and expressed himself
thus: "Mother, we have reared,
cared for and educated these
live young women and all we
have received therefor is a Poor,
Little, Short, Brown Hogg."
Now we may not have the in
genuity to arrange, but as we
Seymour of the town with its
display of Riggs, and look over
Hill and Moore, and the Lowe
Ground of the valleys, we find
the Bear, Wolfe, Fox, Crow,
Woodcock, Byrd and Coons as
sociating harmoniously. Then
as we near Townsend we observe
that the sidewalk is verging tow
ard a Doughty condition, and as
the land slopes westward, it gives
us a Westfall, which reminds us
that the winds sometime Howell
over this section causing a reac
tion in stove Hues like the Belshe
of gas from a Cole stove which
Burns by puffs.
We then Drew near the Brook
to watch the Fish, but as the
Waters were Riley, we only saw
a Fishback here and there while
a King Fisher with Hough-Lyke
vigilance Hew by, causing us to
Wundcr where he would Dyne.
We attempted to Cross to the
furtner Shore but a Gross blun
der caused our Waterloo, and
Haggard, Aiken, Shevraunt
(shiveran)from cold, we re-Cline
on Avery Black Stone to empty
our Boots and adjust our Foote
wear. Then hearing a familliar
Strain our attention was direc
ted to the Robins-on the Reed
as we passed over the Green
Fields, and on toward the High-
tield, further up the slope where
the Littlefield joins on the Som
mers pasture, in which the Lyons
and the Lamb repose in peace.
We now leave the Wood land
and Turner attention homeward
and being a Fair Walker, we
were hurrying onward when a
small lass accosted us with a,
"Say Mr., Bee-be you a Goode
Mann?" and we answered, "Nay
Ci9-na, we are not a Goodman
nor a Holman, nor a Fairinan,
but rank with the ordinary Fel
lows. Pursuing our Way we' found
a Smith busily at work with an
vil and Bellows, while the Car
penter stood ready to assist the
Wright who was skillfully shap
ing a pulley, the object being to
give Fuller satisfaction to the
Miller in hoisting his Cornwell
into the upper story of his Dry
house Orr Goodhouse, prepara
tory to making Goodbread when
the Cook is summoned. We then
visited the curio shop and saw a
Buckham, a Graham, and a
Buckingham all in pink condi
tion. The Cox are now crowing and
it is time to quit and look after
the stock before we Tucker out,
for the Bear, Panter and Wolfe
live in the Marsh, and if they
Marshall their Force and get a
Connor on Barrows Dyer disas
ter will follow.
Be a Booster
Perhaps there has never been
an invention perfected that has
led to as good results in boosting
for better roads than the auto
mobile. When the bicycle was
introduced boosting soon fol
lowed as a natural consequence.
Man, lordly man, had to do the
propelling act, and the desira
bility for better highways made
itself felt in the tired muscles
produced by heavy roads or the
jolting caused by rough ones, or
more still where they were in
such bad condition that the
rider could not use his wheel.
Tired, overworked animals had,
no doubt, longed for better con
ditions for years and years, but
their wants and desires and
ease had not appealed very
strongly to their owners, riders
and drivers, but when the labor
of peddalling a wheel appealed to
the rider it made a thorough
impression in the brain cells
that began to bear fruit and the
crop has been growing and rip
ening ever since. However of
late years the automobile has
come and the number is being
augmented as time passes and
the demand for solid, smooth
roads is growing steadily, and
the highways are just as steadily
receiving attention, and every
mile that is constructed becomes
a booster for another good mile
of road that ought to be built.
Let us all boost for good road
beds.
An Oakland, California, wo
man walked two miles in her
sleep a few nights ago. That
was going some, but there is no
guessing how far she would have
gone had not a policeman dis
turbed her somnombulism.
We should like to know
whether Father Time keeps up
with the procession or not?
Has he become modernized or
does he still cling to ancient
methods? Does he now ride by
in an automobile or is he using
the same old carriage of former
ages?
