'OLVET AND VICINITY


lis not advised on the premises wheth
Ter ii is poor business Judgment or not
Ito loan those war countries one bill
lion good dollars or not, to buy shot
shen thunder and lightning to fill one
another with. Our impression is, it is
Inot. The common law says the acces
sorry is as guilty as the principal. Why
not in this case?
We are very sorry for whole lot
of fellows around here. They have not
Ihad a thing on earth to fuss about
and won't have until corn planting
naxt year. Corn ciean out OF danger;
| pasture never better; won't need to
feed any of this crop until Christmas
We want them to brighten up and
look cheerful, when they come to
loWn.

/ Times change, SO do people. When

ing and wanting everything from the
coal operators, they told us they sole
their coal SO cheap to the railroads
they lost money on every ton they
sold Now that we are out of the
business, they tell and write us, that
owing to the roads taking away their
trade, they are necessarily compelled
to shut. their mines down: Too bad!
