Please Take WdrninQ

1t is correctly reported that the
power mill at kellogg will start to
work tomorrow. Notice is hereby
served on mad dogs to take warning
as powder will be more plentiful;
also to the people to tie their houses
to the ground, dispose of their china
ware and use pewter and granite
table ware. 1t might also be well
for sound sleepers TO run a rope
under their beds and tie themselves
IN. If any one finds out when a
"powderquake" is coming they are
notified TO have the populace gather
in the square where no sky scrapers
can fall on them, and to avoid the
cracks that may come in the ground.
The small boy can take care of him
self. To protect dogs tax them, and
place the cows in pasture.

A Thirteen Inch Shell

Last Sunday evenings escapade
in which q mum Der of shots were
fired at what was supposed to be q
rabid dog, on B. street seems to
call for a decided stand to be
taken by the town authorities.
That no one was killed or injured
by the wild, promiscuous shoot
ing appears almost miriaculous.
Ceredo has an ordinance pro-
hibiting the discharge of fire arms
inside the corporation except by
an officer in the discharge of his
official duty. This ordinance
will be enforced hence forward,
and anyone caught discharging
any firearm will be punished Sc
verely. Should dog or other.
animal act suspiciously it is the
citizens duty to report same to the
town authorities who will take the.
matter in hand at once and act as
thought best for all, without en-
dangering the lives Of our people,.

Tossed bu a Cow

What came near being a serious
accident occurred last Friday. LIT
tie Virginia Worth about FIVE years
old while passing a COW belonging
to Daniel Wright was caught by the
COW and tossed a considerable dis
tance in the air. The fall renderd
her senseless and for awhile it was
thought she was seriously injured.
She is now practically recovered.
The COW was fresh one, and Mr..
Wright will have her dehorned since
she has displayed such viciousness.
Later she was dehorned and bled to
death.

She Decided On Geredo.

A Huntington maiden while mixing
her dough
Very wisely concluded that she
wanted a bongh.
But the trouble began, for she didn't
quite knough,
Just what turn to take or whittier to
cough;
There arc millions Of girls who have
to go slough
In catching man to take them in
tough,
but our maiden was bright, sough
She went down belough
And grabbing the phone, she yelled
out "hellough!
want good place where no pretty
girls cough,
SO give me-hell-hellough!-give
Ceredough."
Huntington Herald.
Tie man who wrote the abough
is somewhat of a newspaper tough,
He knows more of Kentucky slough
Than of anything except snough.
Give him of what he wants enough /;
He'll, hades, Rot place belough
Where of course no pretty girls
cough.
If the Herald's maiden came here
to stalgh.
She would soon 60 awaigh,
For there's nothing but pretty
girls at Ceredo,
Don cher know.

That the actual worry Of composition
wears out the frame premnturely is
more than the facts warrant any one
