Inlay City Record Three weeks
ago we ADVERTISED for a girl for gen.
eral housework, and though the po-
sition was filled within week, last
Saturday afternoon young lady
made her appearance at our domicile
and insisted upon staying. The small
ness of her stature weighing only six
pounds) made us question her ability
to do the housework, but it did not
take her long to demonstrate to our
satisfaction that she is capable of
making considerable work if she can
not do it. Her winning ways and the
fact that she had no othef home soon
decided us in giving her a home. We
will keep her as long as we can. Nor
al: If you want anything advertise
| for it in the Record.
Vassar Times:-The airing that The
Times gave few weeks ago to the
dirty linen which the oil companies
had forgotten to send to the wash
from this city has been widely read
and copied in many parts of the state,
and more especially nearer home has
the good work gone down the cob
webbed intellects of retailers to be
used to their advantage. Although
this great family newspaper has re-
ceived ACCOMPLISHMENTS that its tire
would be punctured IN the whirligig
process, the same still continues to
rotate with religious regularity IN
unison with our patent medicine ads,
and probably will for some time to
come. However, the latest "good
thing" cut loose as result of the
article in this paper, occurred at Our
neighboring Fairgrove. A loud mouth
representative of the Standard Oil
company was doing the town for his
usual graft of orders, and when
tackled by different merchants in re-
gard to shortages in measure he hung
up all shapes and colors of boasts that
"his people" were never short. People
who had read the series of articles
were beginning to feel a little bit
shaky as to the reliable source from
which they came, and were about
ready to jump into the river when n
Moses appeared upon the scene. f.
q. BOsworth, a merchant of lots of
stability and an appetite for people
who converse through their hat, Of
fered to wager So that barrel which
he had received but few days before
would fall short and his offer was
taken up very promptly by the oil
man. The barrel was marked 541 gal
Ions but the confident oil man could
not possibly fill the gallon measure
the 53rd time and left his So with Mr..
Bosworth. 1t is estimated, figuring
the output of this company, that one
and half gallons shortage on each
barrel would net the company more
than $4,000 each day.
