Tint Happy Hollow Road.
The condition of the Happy Hollow
road between Topeka and Meriden is
causing no little complaint by the
farmers living in that section of the
county. They say that the road is
DANGEROUS, especially III Two Ut InTSS
places. One of these Is a sharp turn
bordered with overhanging bushes,
according to the farmers.
The county commissioners have
promised to have these bushes cut cut
and have proposed numerous i'm

bushes will be grubbed out some time
next week.
There's q Reason"
There has been no little speculation
among few North Siders recently as
to why Ernest Tucker editor OF the
Shawnee Chief, does not stop his big
touring car in front OF his office.
A reporter noticed it and upon max
ing inquiries found that there was
reason which by auto owners IL con.
sidered a mighty good one. Some
time ago carpenter was hanging
screen for Tucker and when he fiE-
ished the job and started to leave nc
spilled two boxes of tacl<s on the
pavement in front of fuckers Office.
Tucker, Dick Turpin and Jimmy.
fuckers Office boy. spent the next two
hours gathering up the tacks. And
that is the reason that Tucker has
er Of his Office for the last few days.
The combined efforts of the three men
mentioned have resulted in the clean
ing up of the tacks and in the future
fuckers car may be found at its Ac-
customed place.
