    2. Karen Bush
    3. Mr. Chas WACK, who for some time has been confined to his bed with quinzy, is out again. On Wednesday evening, a large circle of friends gathered at the residence of L. D. DAVIS, to witness the marriage of Mr. Chas. DAVIS to Miss Ettie MARTIN, both of this place, the Rev. A. COIT, officitating. A man named JOHNSON from this place, who was on his way to Richburg last Wednesday morning, fell from a B. E. & C. train near Petrolia, recieving an ugly scalp wound. We expect Dan H. will be out and do the town up now, since he got his new suit. Frank DAVIS says he has got a fine rat dog for sale. They say some of our boys made a mash up to the fair last week. The Silver Star club held one of their social parties at Lee's hall on Wednesday eve. There was fun 'til you couldn't rest. Wellsville takes the cake on scrapping matches. The other night we had one here, similar to a B. B. match, about nine on a side. Mag, you ought not to trifle with Dan's affections very much as he has got another lover over to Eldred. She sent him a silk handkerchieve in a letter the other day. THE SILVER STAR CLUB. (Poetry on the Half Shell) Oh, we're a set of jolly boys, you will find us hard to beat. We always have a right good time, when we at clubs do meet. There's Eddie BROWN, the Sec'y and Mox CANORE, the clerk. They have won a name, so wide with fame, there's no mistake in the work. And Pres. CARY is equally so, for he you know is the boss. And CONNORS, too, who tends the door, makes friends with all the boys, and says its only 50 cents to share in with their joys. T. SULLIVAN too, is one of the gang, for short they call him "Doc." This is the boy that issues the checks and makes them come down with the rocks. Then HIGGINS too, is always there, with his girl from No. 4; and he makes himself quite aggreable, as he glides the glossy floor. There's Kill McMANN, the pugilist and young Gib GORDON, the kicker. When they get downed, its getting cold, if it aint, then I should snicker. There are many more we are happy to say of Erins noble youth, who are enrolled, as we are told, under the head of the Silver Stars. -- Shakespeare [Source: Olean Evening Herald, October 21, 1883, p5] Posted by Karen Bush Note: -- Paws on Keys =^.,.^=
