Queer Courting.
All 'the courting is done by the wed

girl falls in love with a man she goes
to his house and tells him the state
et her feelings, 1t her affections are
reciprocated a marriage is arranged.

Joseph T. Clark. known as "Mack" when he was editor

are first that they are always fair—no bitternirss or -biased partizanship
—and second that they. are never dull, but deal in a bright way with
the subjects in which you and your neighbors are interested.
In a .lighter vein .are the "Chronicles of the Khan" —
delightfully humorous -pathetic studies from real life, particularly rural
