Somebody paid us check for $1.50
about month ago and we haven't
been able to cash it yet, for whoever
it was forgot to sign his name. We've
tried a couple Of times to slip it past
j. L. at the bank, but there's been
nothing doing. We wish the fellow
who wrote it would come in and sign
it for we'd like to buy another pound
of paper. +,
We're having a lot Of fun out of
that straw vote we're running in the
paper. So far Roosevelt is running
strongly in the lead. Teddy has a
couple of strong friends around this
town, and every now and then they
hike out and bring in some one to
vote for him. Dad Boyer, he came in
and then went out and got C. Tillory
to vote, too. But Tillory wouldn't
vote for Teddy and Dad was sorry
then that he'd asked him to vote.
