asked to what use it was to be put,
and the reply was:
ITO soak roots in it."
The order was filled, and the clerk,

What kind of roots are you going

Pocketing the bottle, the customer
said:

makes mistakes in his profession, but
with most people only the boss knows
about it. The newspaper mans mis-

with the extreme caution manifested by
the lawyer when he writes will there
would not be time TO do much writing.
And few people realize what infinite
pains even under existing conditions are
taken to avoid error so far as possible.
The bulk of the mistakes are the result
of inaccurate information given to re-

Bachelors
Man Who Loves Single

The question of whether bachelors

broken out in Memphis and the Com

The proposition on the grounds that all

Proceeding on the proposition that all
men ought to marry and suffer the
penalty therefor. the writer joins in the
demand to tax those who are so selfish
as not TO want to make woman par
tieipate in their misery. A bachelor is
one of the most useless spokes in the
wheel of civilization. He foregoes all
of the troubles of matrimony and never
knows the horror of walking the floor

now be charged in Bowling Green. The
City Council passed an ordinance fixing
the saloon license at $4,000 each. Not
withstanding this steep figure there were
eight applicants for license as soon as
the ordinance was passed. This will
give the city an income of $40, 600 a year
