Thursday forenoon walked into the
office of a prominent attorney in OF

the desk that was already heavily
weighted with law-boOks, said:
''HOw do you do, sir?"
There was nothing startling IN TINS

country; and the attorney, with his
accustomed politeness, which Is a
factor in his nature, unhesitatingly
informed the gentleman just now ne

said:
"You done some work for me once,

''Hold on" said the attorney, with
a look on his face resembling an audi

meditatively retreating, the attorney
slowly walked up to the mirror, and
after scanning himself for a second,

''You can say that Green p. Garner

money now lying in the United States
treasury for the county OF La Sale"
said one of the ruling spirits OF the
County Board to a FREE TRADER re-
porter last evening.
"Why nOt?"
SHE Is too gay. He has killed his
chances with this Board through MS
own foOlishness. The trouble with
Mr.. Garner is that he has flow OF
language which is fearful and
awful to contemplate, and he has
made the entire Board very tired. On,
we've had enough of Garner-he's a

"But how will you arrange this
busineSs?"
"Oh, we have about decided, among
ourselves, you know, that we won't
