LEASES TAVERN,

dy cant zee, you never seed stitch awful sad
looken countinenses. You'd think they
all l.eKpected 10 be executed before taken TO
anuther meel. My sympa.hies is awfuliy
stirred up. The wurSt looken pictures Of
dispare il Doc. Manvile nod Brure. They :
look "a though they haddcnt but one bow
vel between them, and it was not much OF
bowel neither. 1t has been harder on'
to them than the hoopencof 1t looka like
a reverse cAse OF the mumps, when the
swollen vanishes into the are and only
leeves shsdder Of departed nothen to tell
the story
Yu no we had an Independent Faro.
We got il up to brake down the County
Fare, but that want no easy thing to do, 10
We decided to turn il to good account. Yu
no premiums don't have to be pade till Af-
tor the Fare, and that's our best holt.
Where the pay Gums after anything, we
aint afraid 20 promise nothon. Well,
when the last Fare was held, we knowed 1t
would take all the mummy into the town
ship tressuries and the corporation to
| keep up the salunes and bad houses Mt CO.
| ltImbus to defeat the enabling act, for our
fellera said ns how there want nothen like
wine and wimmen TO git up and git the
nveredge member, anl missionary mum
ny, sundy schule mummy, and Fare mummy
must all 90 for salune and bad houHe mum
nv at Columbus. We had the fellcrs to
spend il down there. What Shannen, Ca
nary, Day and them fellers couldn't spend
in that line want wuth ktenlcn no how. 30
YOU ace the mummy taken into the Fare, in
stead of being used to pay premiums, was
sent to Columbus and put where it would
du the most good. For wun member 1t
bought prayer book, and for another 1t
bought the "cousins," and that are kind oil
Literature. Yu Eee we played it fine. II
want no wuR to take tho Fare mummy than
il was to fix up that burglary job onto the
townnhip treasures, or the robbery OF the
corporation treasury into broad day light
And then it scattered the burdens. The
icllers what exhibited had 10 stand il, and
, that's what bekum Of the Fare mummy
, | wouldn't tell on 'em now, but its too late
to affeckt the eleckshun.

take the trade AVA from that phase. The.

Two men came into town tother da

:, the county sect and vote for Bolen Greer
: The Ring surrounded 'em at onst and the,
- was interviewed by our modest Nj
, Evers. We scattered sumwhat when the
tole us they cum up to see the waiter int,
, the Jail and see how soon the timber
d would probably drop off the brick wall
d At the Court House and tumble the oil,
e house down. They scd ns how Reason
/ Kelley told 'em, sum time ago, that IN,
" bildcn should be called a cob house in
stead of court house. When ast how
thay cum to bring their aeknes with 'cm
they said as how them had to have 'em I,
e blaze their way and make shure OF glitter
back to home agin, rs there want no rode
that amounted to nothen n runnin in tim
direckshrn.. Our foakes shut their door,
t and winder blinds now, when they see mer
/ cnmmin with ackses onto their shoulders
q We've got our little Billy Hood incep
II looks for all the world like old Billy. il,
so kind Of shrivellcd up like. Billy take,
! It onto his lap and plays with it like as tho
l il was christmas toy. It's n big thing
but Evcrs says its bully card and thai
they have borrowed il till after elccksbup
Bowten ia 80 proud of it, specially the
crank and fire-box. The rcd stripes onto
them just git him. He rit all about EN- To
, the Toledo Commercial, aud he's now riten
poetry onto the smoke stack for the New
Baltimore Enterprise. He's purity near
crazy, and Evers sea as how Bowten is Iu-
zen the little Eense he had before he signed
his name, rs. l.. Bowten, President" He
sInes that signature to resetcs for store
goods.
On Tuesday mornin, as. L. Bowten
President" went over TO Toggany, washed
histace, dressed up like President. and nsr-
fumed his boldly like Evers, Ashley and
all them honest fellers, to git d. 4 M
car. He took ropes with him and his
trends was Afeerd he would suicide. But
no diddent. He's too crazy for that Su-
lsldes Aint never 20 very much out of their
heds. When he cum back we NIL new
what the rope was for. HIS little atore-box
cars wouldn't cuppel onto the d. 4 N. pas
Henger coach, no he took piece of bored
for dr"wbar and tied the cars together
with the rope, and then he road onto the
cgpplin pin to keep il down. II want A
plessent situashun, nor not very dignifide
neither, for the President. Besides he
took cold and Is considerably stopped up,
and what has becum of that cuppelen pin
no one knows, though the President thinks
nohoddy stole it ard that IL aint no use 10
look for Il onto the rode.
The ieileTs what was brought here for
20 vote begin to git skeered. They henr
whi::perens about sender men to the peni-
tentiary tor illegal voten, and they all |
think as how that means them. They ara |
Scamperen into every direckahun and a |
general stampede il feered. Poor Dunbar |
