CIipt Cy's Horse for Him

Last week Cy Hoskins took his old gray horse down to Harve Hines' ton- sorisf barbersshop and asked Harve if he would clip his horse with his hair clippers, and Harye said he would. SO he went at it. Cy said the horses hair had growed so long that the animile was nearly crazy with the heat this warm weather, and for that reason he had made up his mind he would have 1t clipt.
 Harve he worked away on that horse out in under the shade tree in front of his shop nearly half a day before he had all the hair clipt offen it, and once when Harve dug the clippers into the horses hide leetle mite too peart the horse tried to kick his fool head off. Finally, however, Harve finished the job, and then Cy asked him how much the damage was and Harve fingered a minnit and then says: Three dollars" Three dollarsl" hollers Cy. "That's a outrage and I refuse to pay it-Tli give you a quarter, that's all you'll get and you kin go to law about it if you want to-"
 Harve he tried to explain to Cy that cutting a horses hair was equal to cut ting the hair on the heads of eight human beings and has consulted Anne Hillyer, our talented loryer & legal light, and will likely bring suit against Cy to recover damages.

Probably Get His Deth of Cold

Bud Hinckley, who ain't quite right in his head, had a heart-rendering ex- perients tother day. When Buds mother wasn't loolin Bud he snuk of from home and went down to Snake Crick back of town and tux of every blessed stitch he had on and went in swimming in the awful cold worter. Soon as Bud felt how cold the worter was he got outen it as quick as he could and tried to put some of his clothes on, but he couldn't git on nothing but his shirt be- ing as his hands shik so from the cold and he was that shivery all over he couldn't manage to hold his pants still long enuff to git into them So he run homo with nothink on but his shirt. hollering and yelling and boo-hooing like baby. Soon as Buds mother seen him and found out what he had been doing she marched him into the wood. shed and first thing she done was to make him put on his pants. Then she got shingle and grabbed holt of Bud. and we calkilated by the way Bud hol. lered, so that the neighbors could heai him on all sides, that his mothes warmed him up real well and that he won't go swimmin in Snake Crick agin this season.

acrost the bari and pulled and pulled and pulled the cider through that reed into hisself until he couldn't hold no more and got up from sheer exhaust shion.
 By this time the cider which Enos had slowed away had begin to become effective, as you might say, and as a result Enos begin to danse and sing church hims and made reglar fool of hisself. Hoke seen that Enos was a leetle mite under the weather from the cider so he sujjested to Enos that it would be good skeme for him to git into his wagon and drive, off home. This made Enos mad and he told Hoke that he wouldn't go home until he got plum ready and invited Hol<e to come out into the main road and fte him if he thort he was better man than he was. This jest tickled Hokc, who knowd that Enos was only tallin that away becuz he, was full. As Hoke said afterwards, 'Why, when he's. sober 1 ain't got no better friend in the world than jest Enos Snodgrass."
 While Enos was weaving back and forth in the mill daring Hoke to come out and fte him, there was a powerful clatter outside and both men rusht out in time tossee Enosse's two hosses start to run of down the road with the wagon clatterin and bangin along behint. The runaway team hadn't searsely got under headway before out went Enosse's bari of cider, and when it struck the hard road behint the wagon 1t busted all to smash and all that booti- fewl cider was split into the dust and shortly become absorbed. This awful calamity sobered up Enos powerful quick and he started after the hosses as hard as he could lick into it, and after he had chased the team half a mile one of the hosses fell down and tother one fell on top of it t.znd Enos ketched up to them and finally rrianaged to git them on their feet When he got the harness unsnarled he got into the wagon and driv straight home.
 It has sinst been learnt that what made the team run off was that Enos had left them stand by heap of dried pumice, which is the remains of the cider and which after they stand in the sun for spell is jest as intoxicatin to dunn brutes as cider is to human be- ings The hosses ct whole mess of the cider puinice and undoubtedly they become full and run off because they felt SO hilarious.
 Enos says it's turrible blow to him to lose that bari of hard cider and win ter coming on and he ain't got no more appelS that's fit to make cider out of. Hoke sent word to Enos that he would thank him to pay up for making that bari of cider for him, but Enos says that if Hoke thinks that he is going to pay out hard cash for a barrel of cider that he never drunk a drop of Hoke is aw- ful mistaken.

CALAMITY
To Enos snedgrass Nhleh Is a Dis grace to Enos & His FamhiIy- All Caused by the Demon Hard Cidsr-FuIl Acct. Below!

About two weeks or whereabouts ago Enos Snodgrass, who up to this time has been not only one of our most re- speckted citizens, but also a piller, as you might say, of the Bingville church, tux load of choice appels down to Hoke Peters, who has been running cider mill all this fall down Snake Bend way, to have made into bari of cider, which Enos calkilated after it. got hard would help him to while away the long winter evenings at home this winter, as 1t were.
 We'll, last Satterday Hoke he sends word to Enos by Snide Petersby, who happend to be down to the cider mill, to tell Enos that his cider was all made and barreld and waiting ready to be hauled away and that he wisht Enos would git move on hisself and come for same soon, being as he (Hoke) was so rammed up and cramped for room. Well, Enos he had to go to the co seat on business Monday, so the first day he could go for the cider was last Tues day, and on the morning of same he hitched up his two hosses to his road wagon and started for the cider mill to bring the cider home. It was power full hot day for September, as you prob ably recolleckt, and when Enos arrove at the cider mill he was about tuckered out with the heat and being shuk up so in riding in the wagon. Enos he driv his hosses up beside the cider mill in the shade and left them standing there unhitched and then he went in and shuk hands with Hoke.
 You look powerful played out, Enos," says Hoke; wont you hev a leetle mite of cider ill tin dipper to kind of revive your droppin' speerits? got some here l made airly in the season that is jest prime now?"
 "Oh," says Enos, very keerless like. q reckon leetle nip consistin of say thimblefull or two wouldn't hurt me none-you know, Hoke, I'm very tenn perate when 1t comes to drinkin hard cider, but jest tc show there ain't no hard feelins I'll take a mite for old friendship sake and also for my stum- mick's sake
 We'll, Hoke he filled up the tin dip per and handed it to Enos, who drunk it down at one fell gulp, and after couple of minnits said he felt better aready, and if Hoke would give him lift they would set his bari of cider into the wagon so as it would be there when he was reddy to start home, so they both took holt and loaded the cider into the wagon.
 Enos then told Hoke that dipperfull of cider tasted jest exactly like another one, and Hoke told Enos to go ahed and help hisself, so Enos he went over where the bari was, but when he seen that the bung was open and there was holler reed layin beside. the bunghole he told Hoke he guessed he would take his'n through the holer reed jest like he used to drink cider through straw when he was boy, so he laid down

ing a railroad in our midst. Joe said he had never saw R.R. train, but as fur as he could learn they was awful dangerous things to have around dh the premises. Joe said he had aunkel onct who was par shially kid by R.R. train, hav- ing his leg tuk off jest below the knee and from that day to this he had a spite at railroads for what they had did to his unkel. Joe said if a R.R. come to Bingville he'd be jiggered if he'd ride on it and he would try to inflooence others to do the same.
 Bill Sirnms said he thort R.R. would be a blamed good thing in our midst. He said he had onct rode IA miles on R.R. and then like blamed fool went and got off at the wrong stashion and had to walk all the way back home, where as if he had of knowed that he would of stayed at home in the first place. He said he calkilated If a R.R. come to Bingville the members of the B. of T. who brung it here would git free passes on same and could then ride any where's along the line whether they had any business here and there or not.
 E Cy then spoke up and said if that was the case his heart was open to a new convickshion, and if it could be showed that the B. of T. would git free passes lie would be big in for R.R. to Bingville.
 Others present was then invited to express theirselves if they had anything to say. Hank Dewberry objeckted to R.R. passing through Bingville because he rec koned the injine would be whist ling all night long and this would interfere with his reglar sleep. Hen Weathersby, our enterprising store keeper and merchant prince, said he was also agin it becuz it would take trade away from him to the co seat, and for that reason he couldn't conshienshiously support a R.R. Hen said while, far be it from him to try to bribe publick offishials, he would be willing to persent each member of the ~Bing- vile Board of Trade with a pack age of smoking tobacker if they would all sollulnly agree to stop Iagitating the questshion of R.R. to Bingville. The members of the board at onct went into seckret sesshion, and after deliberatinp over the matter with deep thort, at length agreed to accept Hens offer.
 So there ain't going to be no railroad in Bingville, at least for the present.
 LATER-Hank Dewberry, who didn't git no tobacker, says he has changed his mind and will do all in his power to have a R.R. come | to BingVille.

Spoiled the Widows Wash

Ranse Hillyer's old COW "Spot" went and broke into Widow Henderson's yard last Monday night and done a aw- ful spiteful thing.
 The widow warshed last Monday as ushual, but being as it was a damp, sprinkly day her clothes didn't git dry on the line by night and SO she thort she would leave them out all night and they would dry the next day. so she done so.
 But some time during the night that gosh-rammed COW broke through her front yard fence and then walked over her posy beds back into the back lot and got all snarled up with the wash and pulled down the line and tramped the mise white clothes in the dirt and got one of the widows undergarments fast on her horns, which blinded her, and then she stood there all night chew ing her cud. When the widow dis cuvverd her there in the morning and realized what she had did the widow tuls after her with broom and chased her clean offen the premises.
