Val. Efinger, one Of Pilot Knobs oldes
dispensers of the ardent, made his appear
ance quite early on the Knob one mornin,
last week. His pockets looked quite healthy
but not so healthy as the lady who accom-.
panied him. Val. is a good Jolly fellow; 81
it would hardly be fair to come down to tn,
brass tacks. will let you slip this time
but you ''look leetel out" next time!
John Sales and Fred. Sandoff, two. ole
miners, left here last week for the Carters-
vile, Jasper county, zinc mines. We wish

The Dutchman who writes from Ironton
in regards to beer-drifting is pretty good

saw. 1t would take four of them to make an
ordinary Pilot Knob beer-glass. However,
thought you had the enlargement of the
heart that evening, knowing that was the

Mr.. August Rieke made his appearance on
the Knob the same day that Val. was up
there, but later in the day. Don't know but

Gus. Is also rather inclined to be lady's

must be your winning ways.
Some of our bosses, machinists and T. K,

ample by attending church. Now, if you go
with good intentions, it is good; but If you
just go for pastime, and to see what kind Of
clothes your next neighbor has, you had bet
ter get certificate from the DIR. and We'll
order blue car. ....E-
Last Wednesday evening two young gents
riding bicycles came up to the Knob on their
On the return trip they under
took to go over the foot bridge, and the re-
suit was: one went overheard into the water !;
the other was more fortunate and trium-

Bill, don't you ever try to ride bicycle,
for a carriage with four wheels is not half as
hard to tip over; but still, they do tip, you
