Sheriff Walls has a new deputy – a chunky, heavy-set little fellow. He is highly spoken of by those who have made his acquaitnance, and especially does his dad take pride in telling his good qualities. He weights 10 pounds and has a keen eye. Good luck to the little man.
W.S. Rees is very proud of his new son. He thinks he is well fixed for farming now, while A.C. Jackson rejoices just as much over the birth of a chubby little daughter.
