Politics and international prob-| lems and all the big and little ques-^ tions involved in the making of a | new governmental regime at Washington are to be shut out of his consideration while golf and fishing are to take first place in his attention and ambitions. He puts fishing first of all and his fondest desire for the time being is to hook one of the big tarpon that are found off Point Isabel. The president-elect and Mrs. Harding arrived here late in the afternoon and took up their residence in a small frame cottage overlooking a bay where a fleet of fishing boats lay at anchor. The townsfolk, largely Mexicans fishermen, gave them a warm wel-nourine1 out of their little box like houses and crying out their greetings in mixed English and Spanish dialect.

J. E. JONES, : I County Treasurer. Oct. 27, 1920. Anv Tin nsurance \ A LATE TRAIN AND WHAT IT C CAUSED. (Proper Gander.) ' C It was a beautiful day. The wedding was to take place at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. The train which was due at three-thirty and which was bringing the groom had never arriv- ^ ed.

Five o'clock?still no groom. The bride sat gloomily think- r ing of all the trouble to which she ^ had gone, of all the finery, and then a to have such a humiliating occurrence 0 as the lack of a groom, to mar all a her hopes and plans. About this time the best man, whom she- had always thought of as r' a very good friend, came up to ask her what she was going to do. She only tossed her head, and told him a that if her groom did not come with- *in the next five minutes, that she ? would use him. The best man gasp- ^ ed, and suddenly grew quite nervous. This unexpected news so suddenly | exploded in his ears almost took his ^ breath. Too surprised to utter any j| exclamation, he stood looking at the J| bride with a startled expression in e his eyes. E Two, three, four minutes' slowly ? ticked by. The preacher was opening | his bible, the bridesmaids, flower girls | and the bride were getting into their i 1 IB places. The music was starting. The j| bride and best man (now taking the e place of the groom and thus known e as the groom) took a Bam!

Autumn is also harvest time. The farmer gathers his. crop* and sows his grain. Another delightful part of autumn is, that it is nutting time. We jump < into a wagoq filled with hay, put < m our lunch and off we go on a merry nutting party. When we are tired hunting nuts, wfe gather wild flowers and many pretty leaves. We gather persimmons, too, just after the frost falls, and tell me a - ' '1 boy or girl that does not like persimmons. Autumn also brings Hallowe'en, which we all look forward to with so much pleasure for then appear the witches, Jack O'Lanterns, pumpkins, black cats, owls, and other queer ininif9v,vsu* wiittu jvuy t"?co nc And then comes Thanksgiving, with its loads and loads of good things.
