E Wonder what has Lecome OF
=, , the road shrubber? | heard Mr.

len into the ditch if | had shrub
! bed the bank. If he would shrut
the road people could keep theil
E children in the carts and buggie'
! better. If he will shrub the
;, road he will shrub the bank also
Iwould like to say few word.
' in regard to Aunt or Uncle Lin
dy's most jabbing article.
g would just like to say that Lind!
= need not go to any foreign coun
. try to amuse a king: she is S,
2 witty and poetical, above the av
: erage man, that she can anus,
/. the people right here in Nortl
s Carolina. Why, she can go t.
: Governor Glenn and amuse him
: No, don't go across till you tr,
@ him and the President and al
e American people. Poor typo
v she says you caused her to gre
mad. l wouldn't put it off on tht
v typo, Lindy. She is sharp to pu
it on the typo. There was no
q enough poetry in her piece, o
q mine either, if it had been salt t
a salt the front quarter of a half
+ grown red bug, so she need no
s get rowdy about that. l hear,
= Lindy said she had me. Wha
# did you mean by that, Lindy?
J. guess you are all the one tha
o. wants me, and don't expect yo1
. will when you get ready to turr
n me loose. Lindy is no lioness,
+ she can roar and amuse a king
i If | was just witty like Lindy,
q would not work; | would do Tx
n she does-play with my kitty
q No, Lindy, l am not mad;
N would take more than you
n make me mad, unless you hav
l. come out since | saw you. No,
F. am not mad; | am
n Happy Jack.
