pany, of the west end, was practi-
cally out Of business one day last
week, on account of one of the old
danes having sore leg. We had
not intended to pay our respects to
this old busy body club, but as they
have been talking go much about
our town being injured by these
items, we feel that il is our duty to

OF old female gossip dealers than
from newspaper items, and We think

Sweeney-bus, the silver crowned
base ball fiend, of Jasper, was in
town Saturday transacting legal

through his soda bleached hair,
telling the boys how very near I'm

law sui, on his hands for damages
But Uncle Billy's not "skeered'
because he's not worth cent more
than Mike-abIs Sweeney-bus O
Postmaster Stewart, and both o
them together wouldn't be 'skeered
at fifty thousand dollar damage
suit. But Mike-abus is "all right
and the people here like him, ant
always vote for him. He visited
"Iron Milt" before he left town ant
talked to him about voting for Eli

"Never," and while Mike-abu:
talked like he thought Milt ough
to vote for the Prophet-yet to m,

abus was glad to hear that Milt wa
not going to vote for the ''Swee

too many VOWS, havn't you Mike
! abus, to be very enthusiastic abou
Cox-that is, Of the "Sweet Will
