NATTER
And Issaker looked so stern tha
Pugsby left the bank with howl n,
terror
Issaker is developin so great Z
genius in inanceerin that Pm reely
jealous of him. He is the master
sperit Nv the institooshun-
At the Board meetin last night we
DISGUST wat We shood do in such
eases ez Pugsby's hereafter, but ar.
rived at no definite coDclooshun.
There is several Nv EN-, and they
will hey to be met. Issaker believes
IN the style Nv treatment be yoosed
In Pugsby's case, but / can't consent
to II. It's heroic admit and good
enuif for a temprary expedient, but
1t won't do for reglar system Ef
our money stimoolates mans biz
MS to the point of his bildin a new
house we hev benefited him, and the
commoonity as we'll But ef to
avoid the Inconvenience Nv redeemin
that money we hev to burn the house
wat good hev We accomplished?
None. We hev got to find some
other way. / don't see any other
way, but 70 doubt it will select its
elf TO ME in time.
1t Is astonishin how the Corners
Is boomin, new ralerodes are bein bilt,
twelve new turnpikes, one hundred
and twenty-eight new cellers for
houses is bein dug, and last week the
cornerstuns for eigh. factrys wus laid
with appropit ceremonies.
The graden is bein dun on the
ralerodes and turnpikes, and that
part Nv the work will be pushed to an
early compleshun, for the labrers
furnish their own shovels and picks,
and take our money for wages, The
labrers buy their liyin of the farmers
along the line with money, and then
the farmers come to Corners with
1t, and cheer their soles at Rascom's.
SO far all is serene and sweet. So
far the money sheds blessins, ez a
skunk does perfum. But at this
pint, comes worry. Wat is Bascom
to do with it? The Louisville mer-
chant refuses to tech it for likker,
and We can't afford to give him W heat
at Louisville prices agin. We wood
build distillery, but alas We can't
pay for the nails, the glass, and the
stillin apparatus in our money, an
we amt got any other But thanks
to On overrulin Providence, Baseom
hez enuff likker to last two weeks,
and suthiu will turn up afore that is
gone.
Valyoos hev gone up so that it
takes vast volume Nv currency to
transact the biznis Nv the Corners.
Simpsons hand press won't answer
the demands made onto it, and he
hez purchased power-press, which
will print 1,Q0a sheets an hour. And
to facilitate hisnis, aud to make it
perfeckly shoor that we shell hev all
the currency we want, l hev he'd my
name and lssaker's engraved so that
it kin be printed in, thus savin rs the
trouble Nv signiu em with pen.
Our prosperity is astonishin. Pugs-
by gifts $40 pare now for pegged
boots great deal eazier thar be
yoost to git 81, and Raspom he4 put
drinks up to go cents for new whisky
and IS cents when you take sugar in
in it. Lots in the corporashah hez
quadroopled in valyoO within the
week, and reel estate changin hands
lively. | could wish, however, that
the ishoos uv the Unlimited Trust
Confidence Company Good hev a
wider circulashun. | took a brief
vocashun this week at the Glauber
Salt Springs, and wuz beaton o4t Nv
5000 at eut-throat loo. The gamb-
lers refoozed to take my money, and
| wpz compelled to leeye my watch
| with em-thst is. Captain MePelter's
watch, which he'd borrowed to make
an imposil appearance. Bot it wuz
all the same to me, ez l paid him for
it in our own currency was sorry to
loose it, for | he'd depended on that
watch to help US out, when We got
into an exceedin tite place.
PETROLEUM V. NAsBY.
President Nv the Unlimited Trust
and Confidence Company.
p. S.-Another trouble is ioomin
up on the horison. Perkias, the black
smith, ia opt Nv iron. and Sampsell,
tSe carpenter, hez to hev jack-plane
and two augers, all NV which hez to be
got in Louisville, and they demand
Nv Us sich money ez Louisville will
take. Then another mortifyin cir
cumstanee happened yesterday. The
directors Nv the bank he'd determined
to lay the corner stun Nv our new
bankin edits, which We hev COM
ment, but after alnoUnein the event
we coo5elt lay it. A bigger rope
than any in the Corners wuz necessa-
~ to lift the massive stun to its place
1--WE he'd it massive ez an emblem OF
our solidity), but we coodent rake up
enuff currency that they'd take in
Louisville to buy one. So that cor
ner stun ant laid, and the work on
the buildin, l spose, will hev 70 atop
till We ken turn up sgtEin. Theirs a
crisis apQroachin. T. V. n.
