"A big time they had on last Friday
putting that tree in place opposite the
site of Doctor Days new drug store.
About twenty men it took to place the
tree, and then twenty drinks placed
the men. We wanted to help. but
the boss wouldn't let us, and now ye
editor is drink out. 1t makes us mad
enough to attend the State fair on our
free pass.
Some people have accumulated
wealth attending to their own bust.
ness. The editor (?) of the Democrat
has never tried the recipe long enough
at one time to know how it works
Having utterly failed to make his OWL
business pay, he tries in his puny way
to put stumbling stones in the way o.
his more successful opponents. A few
years ago he abused Brandon, but to day
Brandon publishes the official paper o
the Democracy, and the only one they
place any dependence in. The mex
step in the way of the little editor {?
will be for him to get some new corse
strings, and then go West, where
he can grow up with the country, and
in time, marry some rich mans child
if he should run across man o
wealth with an idiotic daughter. o.
failing in this, he could borrow a few
hundred of friend to live on unit
something turned up. The money
would not need to be paid back, as HI
could devise other means beside taking
the bankrupt law to defraud his friend
as he did before. His days of useful
ness are ended here as now the small
boys will not allow him to play bal
with them. Holy cats!"
