Frog Pond Items.
Well Croaker has made a noise
again and made mention of an
ice cream supper without ice. It
wasn't last Saturday night.
We had all kinds of old cream
and all three of the Jessies
were there to partake of the
cooling refreshments.
The boll weevil inspector was-
up looking over uncle Johnnie's
crop Sunday and thinks there is
fine prospect for a bale to the
fere.
We are very sorry to learn the
misfortune of Mrs. Oscar Roy-
croft. She has been ill with fe-
ver for two weeks. Hope she
will be up soon.
Dr. Bone had the stairway to
his office torn down and a new
elevator put in. We believe he
means business. He also has a
new Xray in office now.
We are told that Free Dick is
now wearing sackcloth and ashes
to sooth his sorrow all caused
by some other fellow. Poor Dick!
We feel for you but can't reach
you.
The attendance at singing
Sunday night was quite large
and they had a good time.
Mr. I. N. Roycroft said he be-
lieved he loved Johnson grass
better than home endownment
concerns and would advise Croak-
er to quit fooling with the latter
and get him some of the former.
He believes it will be safer to
invest in. Now laugh!
Wonder what Retasal was do-
ing down in the forks of the
branch Sunday a week ago?
Guess he had business there.
That butcher's union organiz-
ed a short time ago not satisfac-
tory to Gay. He said that if he
could not be elected president
and manager he wanted to dis*
olve and re-organize right away.
Yie Daniel looks to us just
like he was somewhat afraid of
getting his name in the Frog
Pond items. Don't be alarmed,
Yic.
Miss Daisey Mathis of Cord-
wood, spent Sunday night with
Miss Jessie Roycroft.
Miss Gladys Roycroft and
Miss Ida Freeman attended the
unveiling at Long Creek last
Sunday afternoon.
C. A. Rogers has closed out
his real estate in the Pond for
city property in Forney. Guess
he is going to learn the ways of
town life.
What is the reason that com-
mittee to select a site for the
nevy school house has never had
an opportunity to make its re-
port? If we are to build a school
house it is time to get some
life in us and everybody get
busy or quit talking about it.
William Parker of Long Creek,
attended the singing here Sun-
day night and thinks that there
are plenty pretty girls in Frog
Pond.
Croaker saw lit to use the
name "Puddle" in place of Pond.
We will have to just consider the
source from whence it came and
say that we had rather live in
Frog Pond than on Dirty Run.
Now, stick your head through
the skum and croak some more.
Mink Groves of Fodder Flat,
was circulating among the girls
here Sunday night.
Hasn't this fine weather been
a godsend to the farmers? Most
all of them have their crops in
good shape with but compara-
tively few in the weeds.
We were told that Mr. and
Mrs A. J. Jones, who formerly
lived here but row reside at Gold-
thwaite, Mills county, will return
to the Pond soon as that country
has too many drawbacks to suit
them.
The name of Chatterbox will
not appear again as we don't
think the name a pretty one.
Hereafter the writerjfrom Frog
Pond will be known as
WlLYUM CHENKUMSEY.
UNKIND.
