dollars. There hasn't been even dog fight to
-tlieve the monotony this week. and we
can't conjecture what has become of all our
correspondents. Sheriff Yopp gave US
'pointer" on a good local, but as our life is
not insured and we have some "little re-
sponsibilities" as well as larger ones, sc are
afraid TO say anything about it. We might
get killed, and then we wouldn't cnjoy the
jok' and our ili .nds won d b detained fir m
business-which is rushing in Bolivar just
nOw-tO wait upon us at the cemetery.
Bolivar has dog that takes the ribbon.
He is not very handsome nor very useful
and his sVne7 Mr.. John Newbern condltd
ed to give him "thc shake" To avoid kill
ing him-he couldn't give him away-he
decided to rope him up on Jim Crow
game" and he got friend who was going
up the road to carry the dog off and turn
him loose at the first place he changed cars
Milan was the point, and in the crowd the
dog was lost lie took in the town of Mi
Ian, and we suppose didn't like the place
as he took the first south-bound train and
when it reached Bolivar hoped off and
vent home. We didn't hear whether he
bought a return ticket when he LETT BoliAa+.
or whether it broke him to pay for dinner
al Milan and he beat the conductor, but he
cCrt1inly came ON the first train, and is
/ stopping at his old home, and John says he
1 never misses a meal or pays a cent.

stop. 1t is not good policy to welt until
you reach the city and then drift wherever
CHARGE may throw you, and often pay fancy
prices and set inferior accommodations.

fare as well As rates, bcfore YOU start For
i. stance, if You are going to Memphis
make up your mind t. stop at the Wor-
