There'll be no Irish There.

a woman sat In street-car In 8
Canadian town one day when the car
stopped at crossing and another
woman got in sat beside the first wo-
man, saying, "Well, well, Mrs. Flew
close, wherever have you been all
summer?
ooh, we were at the Lake."
$50 were we-at Grand Bend"
"We were at Port Stanley" said
the woman who had opened the
oratorical contest.
"Have nice time ?"
"Well, not exactly. There's SO
many Irish there" she added with a
weary look, but without so much as
a glance about the car.
"Same way at the Bend-Irish,
Irish, everywhere"
A stout lady under green hat
that turned up behind sat in the seat
Immediately in front of the elocu-
tionists. The stout lady turned and
sized them up, but by this time they
were dead to the world.
AS the car ratified on they talked
of everything and most everybody,
and finally fetched up at the summer
resorts with Irish for dessert.
BY this time there was Irish stew
IN the front seat.
The stout person under the pea
green hat turned and shone on them.
"Ladies," she began, "L'ave me give
yez a bit Nv advice-the mkt time
ye get holiday, yez better spend it
in hell-there'll be no Irish there"

M. Smith, Georgia's largest farmer,
has sold his entire crop of cotton,
consisting of about 1900 bales, at
134 cents. The deal was closed yes

market would not 90 to these figures
decided to sell. He was offered 164

entire crop, and it is estimated that
this price would have brought him at
