John Warblow was on the streets
Tuesday morning with a 42-grain
pearl, which he found below Pipkin’s
bar, fifteen miles down the river.
The lustre of the ends was good, but
owing to it being off color in the
center it will have to be peeled. He
was offered #450 for it, but left on the
noon train for Black Rock to see if he
could not raise the bid.
The funeral of James Johnson Mar
tin took place from the Christian
church Tuesday afternoon, at 2:30

runs his trot line across the river be
low Kelley’s mill at the lower edge of

morning with an alligator gar which
had gotten hooked on his line some

fight he succeeded in landing the
monster, which upon measurement
proved to be six feet and two inches
long and tipped the scales at 109 lbs.
Jones had the big fish brought up in
town and was exhibiting him on the
streets. The alligator gar is not good
for food, but the skin no doubt will
be preserved and stuffed as a sample
of what White river can produce in
the way of a monster fiBh.

A REPORTER’S DIARY.
9 a. m. Raining. Printer wants
copy. Too damp to go out. Wait
’till the clouds roll by.
10 a. m. Clouds roll by all right
enough. Trouble is there are too
many of them. Takes the procession
too long to pass a given point. Looks
blue for printer. Says he must have
local. Offer him editorial. Says too
much editorial now and not enough
news.
11 a. m. Clouds rolling by but not
rolled by. Raining harder. Printer
desperate. Not safe to stay in office
with him. Go out and try my luck.
Look up street, nobody there. Down
street. Nobody but a dog in a hurry

item. Hold, yes he will.
There was a mad dog on our streets
today. He made his escape (he was
mad, probably, because some other
dog stole his umberell) but the public
needn’t know that. Look up street
again. Nothing but colored boy with
bundle. Boy slips on wet crossing
and falls down. Another item.
There was a heavy drop in wool,
today, followed by a very modern
rise.
11:30 a.m. Still raining. Am wet,
but dare not face the printer without
more copy. Business man coming
across street carrying an umberella.
He brings most of street with him;
his feet are well adapted for the pur
pose. No item there. Stay! Yes
there is:—
There was a considerable move
ment in real estate along Fourth
street today. (It won’t move so
easily when this gentleman goes to
clean his shoes.)
12m. Little girl playing in mud.
Mud makes her muddy; rain makes
her damp. Mamma comes out, spanks
her, takes her indoors. I hear her
cry within. Another item:—
The rain this morning was accom
panied by a heavy squall in the south
part of town. Extent of damage un
known. (The mama was a good,
strong, healthy woman, and the dam
age must surely have been propor
tionate to the force of the squall.)
Note by printer. I had to have
copy. I chloroformed the man whose
‘ business it is to furnish it, and I have
j printed ail the papers found in his
; pocket. This paper has got to be out
j on time.—Poplar Bluff Sentinel.
