Biggest Bargain Yet
In order to celebrate the glorious Republican victory,
National, State and County, we have decided to OFFER the
Morgan County REPUBLICAN one year for
80 Gents

Ending at 6 o'clock p. m. Saturday, November 2Sth, 1908.

tremendously liberal offer is free to all. If you are paid in
advance, 50 cents will set you ahead another year. II
lou are in arrears by paying up to the present time and 80
cents additional your subscription will be extended one
year. Get busy, for this unheard of opportunity to secure
the best newspaper published i'll Morgan County, at halt
price, will close promptly at E o'clock Nov. 2Sth.
All new subscribers can have the Morgan County
RgpuBL IcAN one year for so cents, provided 1t Is re-
ceived before E o'clock p. m. Saturday, Nov. 2Sth, 1908.
Another reason for our very liberal offer is that we
believe there are big things just ahead for Versailles and
Morgan County, and we want a larger list of subscribers to
enjoy reading about them. .
Subscribe yourself, tell your %neighbors about it, send
a half dozen copies to your friends, help to boom your city

and if you are a new subscriber, or a paid up subscriber,
50 cents will secure you the Morgan County REBUILT
CAN until November 28th, 1909. After the time set the old
rate Of SIoo per year will be resumed, and it is not likely
that such al Offer will ever again be made. Don't delay,
but come across with your so cents.

distinguished Engishman was visit

to call upon the author. of whom. he

Somewhat flattered, the author won

the distinguished Englishman about
him.
'Some oxford digaitary doubtless, ;"
he reflected pleasantly. "or possibly
some London publisher or critic" and
he awaited the strangers arrival with
interest.

The lama pilgrims among the Tibet

tain piIgrimages, literally measure on
the distance with their bodies. The
distinguished traveller Sven Hedin.
writing OF his discoveries in Tibet I'm

making mark on the road. rising and
stepping forward to the mark. once
more to fan full length. One such
walking journey as this, says DR..
Hedin. equals thirty ordinary ones.
Among the lamas also are to be found
those who immure themselves in q
dark cave for life, food being passed
in through a passage or hole under

untouched those outside may know
that the sacrificIal prisoner has died

Explosive Diamonds.

A curious fact about diamonds is
that 1t is not uncommon for the cryB-
tails to explode as soon as they are
brought up from the mine. Sometimes
they have burst in the pockets or the
warm hands Of miners. due to the ef-
feet Of increased temperature Large
stones are more likely to do This than
small ones. Valuable stones have been
destroyed in this way. To safeguard
them some dealers place large dla-
monds in raw potatoes for safe trans
port from South Africa.

There was some speculation as TO
whether the instrument would benefit
the old gentleman or not. One was
holding the ear trumpet. while anoth-
er was explaining its use and showing
old Mr.. Borrows how to hold 1t to his
ear.
"Say something to him through It.
Joe" said one to the other.
Now, Joe had long waited for an op-
portunity to reach Mr.. Rorrows' ear.
So, speaking very distinctly into the
trumpet, he said:
you've not paid me that sovereign
you owe me yet. Mr.. Borrows."
But the old gentleman put the I'm
strument down. with disappointment
on his face, and they could see It was
a failure even before he had time to
say:
THAT things not a bit of good to
mer'
And he sighed. but his sigh was not
SO deep as that which came from Joe.
