IF we have ever written anything
,iercga ory to the reputation of
his nibs the Ground Hog we. hasten
to apologize, be is about the most
truthful Individual we know of, with
the exception of the Registers item
chaser at Pawnee Rock.
The city water works refused to
work Sunday during the blizzard.
Now if this had happened at some
little towns over south Of US it would
haveabsen terrible, but as it was
Olmitz water famine don't cut
much ice. No one died wlth his
boots on however from the lack of
natures beverage.
The Olmitz T. Cornet Band will
give grand ball in Brack's hall in
our city on Monday evening Feb.
23rd, to which every body is cordially
invited. Elegant floor. and the
music will be up.to the standard of
the orchestra division of our band
Come out and enjoy the last grand
ball before the Lenton season.
Our esteemed contemporary that
does the "Bu bble, Blowing stunt for
the Register from Pownee Rock uses
full column of space in that great
moral and religious sheet to give thee
public . full and complete under.
standing of the intense moral con-
dition of hiss1ittle one horae town,
that rests 80 security t'the base of an
old rock. The delLz % Of his com e
munity, 30 he would have as believe,
go to divine services once, and to
lodge meeting twice week, this Ne
might believe, If We were not married
and belong to- lodge ourself. He
then goes on and says that SO well are
the people trained over there in the
ways of etiquette, that they do not
die hef k0
mention anything about their shoes
OR socks, and we really believe that
they wear socks too. Be that as it
may if his famous Gun Club (Rab-
bit Hunters) come over here to get
the fxins attached to them, we sug2
cgest thst they bring their portable
boot jack along for use in case of
emergency, as it wouldn't do for the
''Bu b bles" reputation for truth and
veracity to be forever spoiled by
having some of their pea shooters
shake off the mortal coil while toe-
ged out with q pair of high heeled
boots.
He next gives us the result of
close scrutinizationeof an old geogra-
ply Of the vintage of "761, in this
old geographical relic he claims he
finds that the city wherein Ike's
anatomy is comfortably ensconsed, .
ia marked with ansX which after. due
dellberation he says, means whistle"
Now wouldent that give you equiet
fittle jar? We were. always under
the impression that x meant a . ten
dollar William when it bore the reg.
ulation stamp, but according to the
Registers bubble prouducer it meaus
whistle.o This being correct we take
1t for granted that august body, the
Pawnee Rock Police court. pinched
those sanity parties that caused the
WAR over there last week and fined |
them a. few 'swhistles" which the
editor of the. Register gave sues q
complete account of. Really, the
Bubble should have the Editor oof |
his paper suppress all war news from
home, which he. likens unto sDowie" |
Zion City at Chicago. Yes Brother,
we would make him put a censor ou
all war news, especially after YOU
have wasted SO much. time and |
thought (??9) on an editorial describs
ing the sanity people over there.
The next thing he gives us is the /
capital and total mileage Of his little |
dinky cow-path, whcih he calls the /
the Great Santa Fe. We don't care
> rap if your little grass grown hobo
parade ground is ten times as RICH
and has twice the milesge. our 76 |
million dollar steel pike can give |
your path the trump card and skin
you away yonder when it comes to
equipment. But neither
