Of course it was the innate mod-
esty of the Star that induced it to
neglect giving the names of three
splendid young men. We can com-
mend to the favorable consideration
of the Indiana maidens, the cour-
teoua young men who labor for the
Star, viz., namely, that is to say,
Messrs Herbert WHeman, Tillman
Thacker and Floyd Kirby. Of
course there are many more in
Mangum who know far more about
steer roping, lasso throwing land
broncho busting, than some of
tnose already auggested. But we
thank the Star for giving us free
advertising, we thought of adver-
tising on our own account, but
did net think of having our ideas
anticipated and sent to the utter-
moat parts of the earth. Wo
thought to confide our aim6 and
ambitions matrimonially speaking,
to the delicate [ears of Mangum's
fairest and swe^teat. But lo, our
minds are read and our thoughts
penned by the Star.
