PintS from Pinetop.

pinetop fairly b!azes for Cleveland.
I'm going to Charleston on the next
12th-arcn't you?
It is 4 mistake that Dave Shaw has
been hanging around the skirts Of
Pinetop.
Pinetop 'ciety is all aglow to find
out about the next wedding. They
say there are one or two billed.
Ny friend "burr' says he doesn't
like the way they have Of changing
programme to program. He can get
used to neither the sound nor the sight
thereof.
No Third party here-matters not
whether it comes from the extreme
Til!mauites or the extreme Haskell
ties, and both factions might just as
we'll realize that fact at once.
1t is the proper thing now to say
"Sunnel" train instead of taking the
time to drawl odt &C. y. & L." train.
This is a fast age and the phonetic is
in vogue. You must get a move on
or be left.
Now that the commencement season
is ended-the TIME when the end COM
mences and not the commencement
begins-the students are gleefully en-
ioying vacation wri!t anticipating at
! the same time their next tussle with
Don "Cahoty" Pinetop is in it when
it comes to anything like that.
Wonder if anybody feels more like
Christian after hearing a choir sing
"Come tO1 Jesus, come too Jesus, come
too Jesus tOO-dav; tOO-OO-day come too
Jesus. come too Jesus too day.? How
does I'VE are going horne Tomorrow"
sound? Away with all such hypocrit-
ical nonsensical, disgusting, ahonina-
bic, affected, nauseatlng stutf! Bah!
Give me the sweet, natural, inspiring,
simple, musical words as they were
handed down from the singers of
Israel and as they were used when
the morning stars sang together. l
can't imagine the angels singing in
any such manner. 1t would not ac-
cord with the music of their harps nor
blend with the beauty Of their sur
roundings.
wish the newspapers could adopt a
uniformity Of style. | read them all,
and observe that The Herald and News
compounds ''to-day," whilst the OBJ
server makes it one word; that the
Lutheran Visitor puts Newberry coun-
! ty down and Our two city papers spell
it with a capital; that the News and
Courier drops the period after Mr.,
etc; that some papers put convention
up and some down, and so on with a
good many other words and points,
too numerous to mention, until poor
fellow, having no particular style OF
| his own-tlat IS, no self-oplnlated,
pride Of style-doesn't know exactly
how to write letter to his best friend.
I'm inclined to favor the dropping OF
many caps.
The next big thing on docket is the
excursion to Charleston on 18th July,
by Mr.. Hope 4. Dickert, Of Chaplin.
| \ $ or S. excurs; On to that point used
to be considered cheap in the recent
past. Think of going to Charleston,
l75 miles from Newberry, and return
ing, no y, for three dollars, spending a
night in the city, leaving Newberry
Tuesday, the 18th, at 6.2l a. m, and
leaving Charlie ton on Wednesday at
i p. m. Arrangements have been
made for liberal board and lodging,
trips TO the islands, and other accom-
modations and attractions. A visit to
Charleston is always delightful, and
when it is remembered what the reg
ular fare is the advantages of the ex-
| will of nnaa ha caoc
Speaking Of dogs reminds me to say
that l do hope the next legislature will
do something to suppress the evil. 1
want to see the dogs flee. Eradicate
the nuisance, in some way, if possible.
Pinetop wants to inaugurate crusade
against dogs-no dog in particular, but
dogs in general. No candidate need
expect or apply for the suftrages of
Pinetop who is not in favor of prohibi-
tion-of dogs; not even coroner. We
are all anti-dog up this way, with not
"dog". Speak out, candidates! Dog,
or no dog? There are not enough
issues in this campaign, and it's too
dull; so the dog question is injected
into the body polite. Make it lively.
Stick pin into it. If you haven't one
about you, here's NEEDLE.
