A few days ago, while the threshers were at Bill Cooper’s a son was
born. The very next day another crew was threshing at Shirl Davis’ and
a ten pound boy was born to Mrs. Davis. Charles Gould was to thresh
the next day, but he decided to stack his grain and wait till cool
weather.---Lamar, Mo., Republican.

Quincy item in last week’s Hermitage Index: R. V. Brent had---not a
painful accident---but a “pipe-full” accident this week, when a 22
cartridge and his old pipe got mixed, which happened to be in the same
pocket. R. V., not noticing the innocent little missile nestled in the
bottom, crammed down the weed, and just got ‘er “goin’ good”, when
bang! and old briar was no more. Left R. V. holding the stem between
frightened lips and his eyes full of ashes, but none the worse off for
the explosion.
