In Full Blast.

The Sinnamahoning Liars Club is in
full blast in Pap B!odgett's shop every
night in the week but Sunday The
old eX.members sit with tears in their
eyes, listening to the yarns sprung at
these interesting gatherings. The old
members can't compete with the young
blood that has started in this winter
and threaten to withdraw and apply
for a new charter, not allowing any
person under 80 to become a memb ber.
1t is too bad to shut out old members
that have stuck to the gospel truth
for over forty years. The hunting sea-
son is on and the way the young mem
bers have chased and seen so many
deer, without killing any, is a caution.
Pap Blodgett and Berlield take their
share in believing half that it said, it
being against the rules to dispute
member if his story is too large.
