A Mean Revenge.

A meal revenge was that taken by a
man whose wife had just eioped. He
discovered where the missing coup

to the man who had robbed him Of his
partner:

''No, I'm not, but I'll pass the bill SO

Of your natural dispositions"

"Altacoola must have the base because

''Come, let's go. We can do nothing

senator from Mississippi
"Well, senator, in the name of good

can you win for Altacoola without let

"Yes, very fine gentleman! You

Meade County Exposition
Magazine.

The committee on advertising
appointed by the President of
the Exposition Association have
reported upon book descriptive
of Meade county and if they get
sufficient support to enable them
to carry out their plan it will be
a credit to Meade county as we'll
as the state.
The intention is to get out an
edition of about $4,000, patterned
in size, after the Kansas Maya
zine. The cover will be designed
by an artist of note, the book
profusely illustrated and well
written, in fact it will be a publ
cation that will be lightly thrown
aside, but rather one that will be
cherished in every home in the
county as a souviner and read
with interest by all people out
side the county to whose notice
it may come.
The committee expect to mail
a copy to every family in Meade
county and because of the char
acter of the publication it will be
one of the best advertising medi-
ums for the local merchants that
has ever been offered. While
the committe have been solicited
to take adds for outside concerns
they have turned down all such
applications, no mail order adds
will appear.
1t is hoped that the local mer-
chants will give this enterprise
their loyal support. The adver-
Using section will be attractive1y
arranged and executed, and will
certainly pay the advertisers; in
fact the free distribution of this
book throughout the county is
worth more in postage than it
would cost the average patron
to send out individual circulars.
10000 copies will be outside the
county.

not there for the sole benefit of
the merchant or other advertiser
but for the financial benefit of
our readers as well. Each one
of those by business men Of the

week, special offers at low prices
the reason whereof is usually
stated.
The Independent editor has talked

that the campaign next year will not
be fought out very closely along
