| P'LNTS FROM PINET0P-
"Who writes Pinetop anyncw? They
amt worth d-n.'
So said boy on the streets OF New
berry several weeks ago. Jee-e!
Right on the heels of that other fellow
il Swere" startling. Whew!
Ha, ha, ha, ha! Ho, no, no, no!
Ohio, umph! ..
Pjnetop is not over-sensitive-hes ears
enough on the other side to counteract
'sich." Needle doesn't claim to be Solo
mon, but does claim to be not as big a
fool as ThomDson's colt-and everybody
by this time knows what large big fool
Thompson's colt was. There are some
men who don't think there is anything
even in Talmage, but there are thousands
who think otherwise. It is all owing to
whether you like fellow or not. The
only thing about it that provokes the
curling of the lip is that the man who
doesn't" is generally the one that can
be knocked out in the very beginning OF
the first round. But >.
Scat! -..-
I'm here again.
Liable 10 be here when you next hear
from me, too.
Just remember that please. ..-
Needle hasn't got well started yet.
Just been putting out few feelers.
If Pinetop doesn't wake up things be-
tween now and some time in the future,
then Needle is the biggest l-r in New
berry County, which he isn't-"'not # the
court knows herself, and she thinks she
do" He has enough fuel in his "mino"
to last all winter.
Needle hsa not tried to spread himself
yet-nct by big majority. The returns
are not all in. Wait till you hear from all
the boxes. It may change the result:
You see "I know what I'm talking
about" Nothing proud in that-only a
little confidence, that's all. For "why
should the spirit. of mortal be proud|
I repeat: with what he has to do and
suffer, and not sure Of life one moment
ahead, why should the spirit Of mortal be
proud? There is nothing in all this
swide-wide" world like having a we'll
balanced mind ard taking a common
sense view of everything.
But there Will be no spice and red pep
per or gall this week. The needle is
resting in its cushion-had too much to
do all at one time.
For the pres mt it is enough to boil
down several columns of mater into one
column Of space. ....... -. -:
1t is desired to make this column use
full as well as ornamental.
Needle is a condenser from the woods
and hopes to furnish the cream from his
literary dairy-farm in his efforts to satisfy
all graded classcj of readers.
But it is no easy matter to please
everybody, can tell you. In fact it IS
az almost utter moral and physical I'M
possiblity-not positively impossible, bat
extremely improbable.
So lend me your ear. It will be re-
turned after many days.
