DYED!
Which Is What Deacon Snyder Done to HisssIf & as a Result He Has to Let IL Wear off & Also LOOsss tho WiGder's Heart & Hand

Deacon Snyder, one of our most re speclkted sitizens, and stanch piller in the Bingville church, is in, hl1nniliashion and disgrase, which it will take him good many years to live down.
 A week or 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, a young, handsome and ~ivashious wid- der of that naborhood, who has about $700 in cold cash in her own name which was left to her by late lamented husband, Jeremiah Weeks, several years ago and which the Wilder has took good care to hold onto sinst.
 Deacon Snyder was turrible impressed by Widder Weeks, not only because she possessed sich captivating personel charms, but also because she possessed $700, and after the Deacon come back to Bingville he was changed man. First thing he done was to go to Harve Hines, our tonsorial barber, and have Harve shave of all his beard exsept his mustash and small bunch of whiskers on his chin. The Deacon also instruckt- ed Harve to comb his hair so as to cover as much o<s 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 DeaSon until he told Hen Weathers- by, prop. of our general store, in confi- dence that 1t was his intenshion to win Widder Weeks's hart, hand and bank aclxount. Hen then told in confidence what the Deacon had told him in con fidence and inside of 2 hours the news was ali over Bingville. Things come to a climacks, however, last Saturday when kthe Deacon set out to make trip over to Pea Ridge way for the eckspress pur- pose of calling on Widder Weeks and pressing his ardent suit to lojickal con- cklushion.
 Now it seems that the Deacon had saw in newspaper a advertisement for hair and whisker dye, which was guar anteed to make gray hair black, to make whoever used it look about 30 years younger than they really was, so the Deacon he sent for bottle of this dye, and last Saturday he give his hair and chin whiskers going 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 off, he dis lowered to his great consternation that it wouldn't come off, 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 to. Doc thought it was good joke and told it all over town, which is how the news got out. 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 dye wears often his face which Doc Liver more says will take several weeks. The Deacon's hair and whiskers is as black as your hat and look simply ridicklus. The fellers around town have poked so much fun at the Deacon about dying his hair in order to deseeve the Wilder that he has become turrible techy and now it aint skaircely safe to menshion it to him unless you want to get yourself asolted As for the women of Bing- 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,
