Jim Has FIoDpad Over

Jim Hendricks who entity perdick-
ted hard winter in us that he
desires to change his Iickshion. Jim
says he has went and consulted all his
signs very keerful and from what the
bark on the trees tell him and the thin
ness of the goosebone, he is of the
opinion that instid of having a hard
winter we will have mild open winter
We make this change in Gids per-
dickshion with great cheer and con-
graduate him on being man enuff to
acknowledge he was in the wrong if
he thort so. Gid amt much of a profet
however. We have notised In the past
that when he perdicked a hard winter
we had a mild one and that when he
perdickted a mild winter, we had a
vice versa one, 50 we therefore calkilate
we viii have hard winter this winter
unless Gid changes his mind agin
which he Is liable to do being as ne is
turribie tickle In his opinion which
shifts jest like the wind.

old rusty tacks it would give EN-
blood poison. Anne said he hoped
it would - that blood poison
wouldn't be emmy too good for a
chicken theef.
These is only two instances of
menny we could tell about of hen
roosts being robbed in Bingville or
vicinity. Nobuddy knows for
shure who the thief is, but. of
course everybuddy has their own
suspishions. It is knowd for a
facl1t that Sim Goolzins of this
town has been for some time past
maxim reglar weekly trips to the
co seat and has sold there chickens
drest & undrest. This is nacherly
a leetle mite strange & unaccount-
able, as you might say, when every
buddy knows that Sim don't raise
no chickens hisself, and the ques-
ton arises. "Where did Sim git all
these chickens to SELF" Also, ''Why
don't Sim sell his chickens around
Bingville i1stid of haulin EN- clean
to the co seat?" Also, ''Why does
Sim allus leave Bingville with his
spring wagon all curtained in, SO
as a person cant see what he is
takin to market? :"
Of course we woodnt like to say
that Sim Gookins got these chik-
kens which he is selling unlawful,
but if he diddent git EN- unlawful
how else did he git em?-that's the
questshion. And we amt the only
one who thinks that, either. In
other words, this chicken theefng
has got to come to abrupt stop.
It has went fur enuff and if it
continues sonebuddy in this town
will git theirself tarred & fethered
& probably rode on rail into the
bargain. A word to the wise is
suffishent.

run these fiends in human form to
earth dead or alive.
The last hen roost to be robbed
in our midst was that of Cy Hos
kins, our well known townsman.
On last Thursday night sometime,
a theef or theefs broke into Cys
henhouse and carried off 10 pull
lets, inclooding roosters. When Cy
discovered his loss next morning,
which he done when he went to
feed the chickens, he notified Seth
Dewberry what had happened to
him, and Seth he polishd I'D his
constubble badge and loaded I'D
his six shooter and visited the hen
house and spent hour or two
iookin for clews, after which he
a nounced that the chicken theefs
who TUX them chickens must be old
hands at the bizness, being as they
diddent leave him one blamed
elew to work on, after which Seth
went home In deep disgust.

stopd it and slept four days In sue

NEW YORK, November 5.-The refusal
OF Pittsburgh. Brooklyn and Chicago to
waive on Roger Bresnahan, deposed
manager Of the st. Louis Nationals.
guarantees that this great player will
remain in the National League for some
time to come. While 1t is impos sible to
get any positive statement from ary of
the clubs that want Bresnahan. il is gen.
era ~ believed that Charley Ebbetts OF
the Dodgers wants to make him manager
Of his team, and that Pittsburgh am Chi
cago want him for backstop work.
Brooklyn would gladly welcome Bresna-
han, and Col. Ebbets could make NJ
greater hit with the fans across the
br dge than by insta ling Roger as man
ager- The Brooklyn magndte is well
aware Of his work.
He knows that Bres would be big
asset to his club, and while he is not
very talkative on the subje t it is more
than probab y that Bresnahan will be in
charge of the Dodgers In the spring il
such q deal can be negotiated.
