DO you KNOW HIM +?

There was a man in our town,
And he was wonderous wise,
For when he marked his prices down,
He then did advertise.
And when he saw his trade increase,
With all his might and main,
He marked still lower, every price,
And advertised again.
And when he advertised again,
His rivals stamped and tore,
To see folks rush with might and main
To patroniZe that store.
And while they sat in solitude,
Not selling cen pin,
That man behind the counter stood,
And raked the money in.
And when he raked the money in,
And saw his fortune rising,
He took a goodly lot of " tin "
And kept on advertiting.
Each day a genuine sum he'd seek,
And demonstrate full plain
The more one pays for printers ink,
The greater is his gain.
MORAL:
If this should chance to meet''your eye
Read 1t and be made wise,
For if you are business man,
You sure will advertise.

The Maiden Fled,

Colonel S. Brown Allen is back at
home again from one of his outings as
Marshal of the Western District of Vir-
ginia. This time he has been attending
the session of Judge PauI's court at
Abingdon.
At these courts the brush have been
beaten and the IN oonshiners are brought
in in great Numbers. Out in that Sec
ton the Kentucky line is not far away
and the moOnshine population of Ken
lucky spends much of it's time in Vir-
gin, and the Virginia Sinner spends
much of his time in Kentucky, at least
at the approach of the term of the o..
S. Court they leave the Virginia soil.
At the term just ended very good
looking young girl was brought into
court of far more than ordinary intelli-
gence and neatly and well dressed
She was the queen of that realm and
much court was paid to her by her clan
She did not want to be sent to Jail to
await trial, so volunteers were called in
from the surrounding crowd to give
bail and no young fellow stood back.
The names of all were soon affixed.
who could write and those who could
not, and most of them could not, had
their marks affixed.
The maiden was tried and convicted
and sentenced to 800 fine and thirty
days Imprisonment. When the Depu-
ty Marshal started with her to the jail
he was apprehensive she would escape.
He had to take the prisoners across the
mountains in the night SO he placed
six of them in a wagon with deputy
and he himself drove in buggy right
behind the wagon. 1t was very dark
In the morning when the Marshal look
ed in the wagon the moonshine maiden
had vanished. Her lover had, he be-
Iieved, lain by the roadside and at a
preconcerted moment, she had leaped
out and together they had fled to and
landed safely in the confines of KEN
lucky, telling court and Marshal she
would see them later.
