where ON mile in the barber shops,
p. o., cigar stores and other public
settin places and pinions are freely
said. Them what think they can
smell boodel politicks mile off swear
to solidashun for plum tree results but
them what don't want things to go to
plums says consolidashun and consti-
pashun is all one desese. Drug stores
should take motifs. Other brite arguers
say graft and gang spells progres and
is alwuz friendly with that condishun.
Grafters boost along the town, without
them the place is dead as door nail.
Politick fellers don't work their shirt
of and tongue off fer nuthin nowadays.

We're hayin spell of cold wether

the mouth. The one at the barber
shop where we get warmed up and
hear the latest dropped down to 20
below zero the other a. m. and balked.
AT noon it hadn't budged bit but staid
right at 20 with old sol glarng on it
Taint often thermometer shows there
dander but when they get real mad
nuthin can move EN- this side of
knock out drop.
The grip has gripped me all around
The cold has nipped me nose
NQnn1nniQG OOf T1oa On m hoaE
And frost has bit me toes
So all In all I'm feelin bad
But fer all or that I'm mighty glad
That l amt dead. a

Col. Harry Hall dressed up real fine
last week and started to panama we
guess for he was walkin on REQ
grand avenue facin the bridge, but he
fooled us all agin and come back. His
pass hadn't ariv. Harry tells ye re-
porter he believes in solidashun but
has declined to run fer mayer or concel
cause he can get more az chief engineer
at $40 per day. He will start agin for
panama on Sat. If the new depo is done
in time. He don't want nuthin said
bout his trip in the news this week
cause he's fraid his meny Holly b.
friends will seranade him what is ex-
pensive to treat evrybody. Col. says
he's office hours will be from 12 to l

Plummers had more work this cold
snap as usual on peoples steam and
water pipes what had froze up. Steam
and hot water stoves is all right for
africa or florida where there aint no
freezin but our wood stove amt never
froze up on us yet and we amt spectin
it to happen. We don't believe in being
bothered with bath room pipes either
what freeze and bust. Folks what
have them new tangled city things
has no end of troubel. The wash biler
is good enuff bath tub for yours truly
and no worry bout freezin if we pour
the water out when we take a bath,
what aint necessary often in winter
when there amt no dust afiyin and
little dirt cumulates.
