Richland News Items.
Richland, July 10.-Special: As I
take my pen in hand this morning to
write a few brief paragraphs, I am
sieged with an unexplainable vague
ness as to what I shall write about, !
for my memory galleries aro ransack
ed In vain for some Interesting news.
But, knowing that there are some
readers of The Courier residing with
out the bounds of the county or the ?
State who eagerly scan Its columns |
every week for some blt of news I
about their homefolks or friends, and |
also since some few, probably, will
be watching this space from week to .
week, it behooves me to tell them j
that "Pluck" is back on the job for
the next two months, and that all the
more Important "goings" and "com
Rigs" will be chronicled. Should this I
space appear blank occasionally, just
know that "all's well" here, for
should anything noticeable happen it
will be promptly reported.
Although a number of showers fell
to hamper work on the farm, and the
glorious Fourth was a wot day, the
