The Washington Republican Washington County Friday August 10, 1900 Last Thursday evening the 20th Century Club enjoyed a pleasant evening in the home of Miss Enola EVANS. A car load of ponies were sold here Saturday, the price ranging from 50cts to $28 a head. Nearly every boy in town has a pony now, they are almost as plentiful as dogs. L.A. PALMER and wife celebrated their 5th wedding anniversary Tuesday by driving to Greenleaf. Our mail that day contained a letter from kind friends enclosing a token, a pair of tooth-picks.--wooden wedding. L. BOSWELL who lives just east of town started for the mountains Tuesday overland. He had a fine team of horses and a light spring covered wagon. His wife and three children went with him. He says he made the same trip last year and had a pleasant time. Link LEE's team ran away Tuesday morning and came up main street from the south at a lively rate. They ran into the hind end of Mr. FISK's wagon, which was loaded with a part of a steam thresher, damaging the machinery some and demoralizing one of Fisk's wagon wheels. Link LEE is a good horseman and makes good plays on the street and this is his first accident. It would not have happened had not one of the horses bridles come off. Mr. LEE is a cripple but he made a successful jump from his wagon and was only hurt slightly about the face. His team was unhurt. T.G. FOSTER, wife and children, left here Tuesday for their home in Ohio, after a four week's visit. Mr. FOSTER is a brother of Mrs. HAGEMAN and Geo. and Henry FOSTER. He is in the mercantile business in Ohio. He expressed himself well pleased with Kansas her climate, crops, etc. George and W. B. OAKS of Osborne, Mo., arrived in the city last week. They were on their way to Colorado for the benefit of the former's health, but upon arriving here he was unable to go further and died Sunday night. The remains shipped to Missouri, Monday.
