DOUBTFUL JACK AND HAPPY JOE

And with but little cash to spend

This buying clothes just bothers me!
The smartest man can't tell
From looking at a coat, just, if
The goods will wear real we'll.
And post Of them "sheep cloding" men
Are that keen trade
They'll lie like stxty anyhow,
About how clothes are made
And some, they stick the dollars on,
And then you have to Jew
Till they take off the excess put on,

Now don't like that kind of way,
And blame me If know
With just the little cash I've got
Where it is best to 60.
Says Joe to Jack, know your fix,
For I've been that way, too;
But you'll get over that right quick
If y0nU trade wAe,s I do.
Just you try WALKERS, and rely
On every word they say I
And lay your money out dead sn,y
That you will make big pay.

The prices others ask,
And folks as tries to sell with them
tell you have task.
Jack bought his coat Of

We had rare treat here, Saturday night, 12th. The reading of the tragedy of Julius Caesar by Roger sherman, son of our sage of High Rock, was extremely we'll done and makes us proud that so good man came out of this neighbor- hood. As Cassius, he would fill the bill in any star company. His enunciation was so perfect, his gestures so natural, his action so noble, that we felt as if the great Romans were before us. Who but Shakespeare could portray the motives, the emotions, the passions and the am bitions of the characters of this immortal play? The man who can render Shaks- peare's words truly is q genius and an orator.
 We tender our thanks to your Half Way River correspondent for his sym pathy with light creel and wet hat, after five hours piscatorial effort. No doubt he felt worse for me after landing his 20-ounce trout, whose mouth was so large that he leaned back while taking him off the hook.
