Mark Twain's old exaggerated

Col. William Jennings Bryan, who
was in town the other day. The old

other persons whose office hours are
not passed in their offices. But it
was very young representative Of
an afternoon paper who rushed up to
the Colonel's room with this stall:
Colonel Bryan. there is a report
abroad that you are seriouslyill. Will
you either confirm this report or cor

Then it was that Bryan spoke as

500, 600 rock road bond issue, to be

He addressed a crowd at the
monthly stock sale here today. "A
good road that is always good is a Joy

new one, which will cost very little
