War Notes from Billville.

The war spirit i'll this section
is still rated at Xxx double.
distilled.
-Four companies were formed
yesterday, but the three privates
who enlisted have disappeared
myteriousiy, and the colonies
have no one to command.
1t goes without saying the
war will be stubborn affair
We have just sold six car loads
Of mules to the government.
Thirteen dollars per month in
the army. and, just thin: of it -
the war may last twelve months
Doesen' that beat five cent cot
ton
The home boys don't want to
fight with the new-fangled guns.
The old army rifle can kill a
man a minute, and that ought
to satisfy the government.
The government will furnish
arms before the war and wooden
legs afterwards.
We don't need war to thin out
the population. We have prov
idence and the doctors.
Major Jones has been missing
ever since war seemed inevlta-
be. In case OF hostilities he
will occupy high position -
top story, close to the shingles.
There is only oae trouble
about the Billville naval militia
it can't swim, and salt water
makes it seasick.
We have been drilling up and
filling up night and day, and
the government has given us
$40 each, or thirty days.
We will not patronize any sea
side resorts this year. We ex-
pect to spend the time shingling
a Storm pit at home.
We are still selling mules TO
the government Their heels
will BE- used as a torpedo power
i'll our war with Spain
We can't all be generals in
the war, SO we are willing to
stay at home and just knock
around generally.
1t is now feared there will be
no war; but We'll apply for pen
slons anyhow, as some of us lost
our voices hollerin' for it.
The President wants to delay
the war question until fall. Well,
that's thoughtful, for it will give
us an opportunity to harvest the
crops before the soldiers get
chance at EN-.
We have warned our repre-
sentative that if he says one
word in favor of war we'll chop
his political head off as soon as
he gets home. He is not likely
to, however, as lie is always too
full for utterance.
