There are still few men in Culleoka
who borrow the HERALD, who read
paper phlO IOT ny dHOIhOA an a CONSOA
man. Now this is not as it should be.
There is no law that requires man 10
subscribe for paper, but there ought
to be law prohibiting a man reading
one paid for by another. The man who
subscribes and pays his subscription
to the local paper is bound 10 prosper in
all his undertakings. His wife will
love him, his children are sweet and
sleep sound o. nights, and all goes well
If he is an unmarried man, the girls all
dote on him, and he can marry the best
of 'em. He is favorite in society, and
is never lett when the good things OF
life are being passed around. But the
borrower, woe betide him! The news
had never been born, or had died in his
early childhood. An awful fate awaits
him. Some fine morning he will crawl
out of his bed and find all of his hopes
blighted all is darkness his prospects
are black as the hinges of hades. His
wife will apply for a divorce on the
grounds that she cannot longer live
with a swine; his children will shun
him, and his neighbOrs will turn their
hogs into his garden-even the dogs
will refuse to bark at him.
If he be unmarried he will lose his
lob; his trOwsers will bag at the knees,
his clothes will not fit him, the girls
will turn up their pretty noses at him,
and he will get no more invitations to
parties and balls. Then he will seek a
deep place IN the river to drown his
woes, and his little soul VIII go to its
reward. So, old man, young man, and
middle-age man, subscribe (dnd Pig
U0uT subscription for the HERALD, and
don't 6OTrOaU from your neighbor.
