DYED!
Which Is What Deacon Snyder Done
to HiSSslf & as a Result He Has
to Let Il Wear off & Also LuQsss
the Witdsr's Heart & Hand

Deacon Snyder, one Of our most Re
speokted sitizens. and stanch piller IN
the BingviIle church, is in huniliashion
and disgrase, which II viii take him :
good many years 10 live down
A week OF two ago the Deacon Sun
dayed with his brother Lon SNYDER over
at Pea Ridge, and while there was inter
duced to Mrs. Mehitable Weeks, Z
young, handsome and vivashious wid-
der OF that naborhood. who has about
500 IN cold cash IN her own name
which was left 10 her by late lamented
husband. Jeremiah Weeks, several years
ago and which the Widder has took
good care 10 hold onto sinst.
Deacon Snyder was turrible impressed
By Wilder Weeks, not only because she
possessed sich captivating personel
charms, but also because she possessed
500, and after the Deacon come back
to Bingville he was a changed man. First
thing he done was TO 20 10 Harve
Hines, our tonsorial barber, and have
Harye shave of all his beard exsept his
nlustash and a small bunch OF whiskers
on his chm. The Deacon also instruckt-
ed Harve TO comb his hair so as to cover
as much OF the bald spot as possible.
The Deacon then put on his best Sun
day clothes, which he has been wearing
around town ever sinst.
Nobody knowed what had come over
the Deacon until he told Hen Weathers-
by, prop. OF Our general store. IN conf
dence that II was his intenshion TO win
Widder Weeks's hart, hard and bank
ackount Hen then told in confidence
what the Deacon had told MIN in con
fdence and inside Of ? hours the news
was ali over Bingvilie- Things come TO
a climacks, however, last Saturday when
the Deacon set out to make q trip over
to Pea Ridge way for the eckspress pur-
pose OF calling on Widder Weeks and
pressing his ardent suit TO q lojickal con-
cklushion.
Now it seems that the Deacon had
saw IN a newspaper a advertisement for
hair and whisker dye, which was guar-
anteed to make gray hair black, to make
whoever used It look about 80 years
younger than they really was, so the
Deacon he sent for a bottle OF this dye.
and last Saturday he give his hair and
chm whiskeFs a gong over with It and
in so doing, the dye streeked down over
his face and down his neck and when
the Deacon tried TO warsh it of, he dis
kovered TO his great CONSERVATION that
it wouldn't come of. so his feelings
may better be imagined than desckribed
The Deacon went to Doc Livermore IN
haste and told Doc what he had been up
10. Doc thought it was good joke and
:old il all over town. which Is how the
news got ont The Deacon did not call
on the Widder Weeks Saturday evening
as he had planned and from all appear
enses he has given up trying to win her
hart and hand-at least till the dvc
wears often his face which Doc Liver
more SAYS viii take several weeks. The
Deacon's hair and wAiskers is as black
as Your hat and look simply ridicklus.
Thesfellers around town have poked
so much fun at the Deacon about dvirg
his hair in order to deserve the Widder
that he has become turrible techy and
now II amt skaircely safe to menshion II
10 him unless YOU want TO get yourself
asolted As for the women OF Bine-
vile, they think It IS simply sckandalious
for Deacon Snyder TO think Of sich a
thing as making love to any woman and
the grave of his wife. who departed less
than year ago. sckaircely grassed over.
