preacher The longer Jim listened
to the evangelist's remarks the more
impressed he got Towards the close
Of the meeting the preacher asked IL
there were any persons in the audi

they may lead better life. The first
person to hit the sawdust trail was
Jim.
If there are any BARRIERS in the
county that have not seen the latest
hit i'm haircutting they should some
time at their leisure take a trip to
Carrollton, on. the pike, and see the
latest cut direct from Paris. Doc
Ward Is the man sporting this new
haircut. He made his appearance
with it the other day. Just who per-
formed the operation on his head we
have been unable to find out, neither
could we learn just what kind OF a
tool the tonsorial artist could have
used in the work. Judging from its
appearance a scythe or a broad axe
must have been used

a mustache epidemic has struck
Andrew Longs place. After many
years Andy Long and his talented
assistant, Tom Fisher, have decided

away from bachelorhood- Neither

those who have known them for
many years.

laughing. Whatever a person may
say to him it will bring a hearty
