Liberty Metropolis Scribe Says
So Three or Four Times.
HARRY'S 'DANDER" Is UP
Gets After Memo OF the FennimOre
Times With SHARP Stick-Trade
ReyieW-Other Items of Interest.
Especial Correspondence to Herald)

In regard to Memo, of Liberty
Ridge. in his items last week thank
ing US for our favor of offering them
our depot. But he prefers something
more uniform than our depot, as he
calls this a une-hOrse town, and he
belongs to a selected bunch he wants
something more than a common depot,
and If he can't find Stitz9I on the map
or locate it on the Atlas he had better
go to see a good eye specialist and
take treatment for his eyes, so he Will
be able to locate us and see that we
have an up-tO-date town here, and the
trains run right through the town and
it don't hurt it one bit. But remem-
Der it always stops here, so if you ever
take a notion to come to Sitter, just
step up to your bOXcar any morning
get on the train. No, don't get on the
train for YOU could not see the road
anyhow, so get in the train and tell
the conductor "Stitzer" and he will
drop you off here alright. And then
meet the people here and you can
buy anything you need in what you
call "One-hOrse town"
Our creamery shipped 5000 lbs OF
butter last week. How is that for so
early in the season. Say, your neigh
bOrs bought some of that here, so you
find that all roads lead here and after
YOU take treatment for your eyes with
some good specialist you will find that
Sitter is here and on the map before
you heard of it in my column. But
YOU don't want to ask too much from
the railroad company or they won't
stop at Liberty Ridge. You know
when Bryan run for president he got
the most votes of any candidate that
ever run. But he had to run three
times to get them. And then thought
the same as you about your depot.
In regard to women's rights. Wo-
men have more rights now than men.
In court one woman's word goes as
far as the word of three men, and
when they are riding on the train if
the car is crowded and lady comes
in. then if we have wOmen'S rights,
women have as much right to stand
up as a man Now, there You are. But
sit down. and when they would be go
ing to the polls to cast their ballot
they would be looking all around to
see if the men were coming too, and
would cause a panic, for they would
never vote for woman for they would
have a hair-pulling contest and they
would vote for a man anyhow. And
you would see the men marching
around hOIIering "hurrah for women
suffrage. Ladies and Gentlemen"
would soon be something of the past.
Then it would be gentlemen and
ladies', for the ladies would be after
the gentlemen, and if they all wore
hObble skirts they would not make
much headyway after the men, Of
course they would vote for a man
every time A woman would never
vote for woman for they want men,
for they want a mans wages. | once
heard of a woman who took sick in the
night The old man got up and went
for the doctor. When the doctor came
he told her a change would do her
good. and when the old man went to
sleep again she got up and went
through his pockets and took all the
change he had. For the doctor said
the change would do her good.
Don't knock a town, and when you
make new friends always keep the
old, so you will always have some
thing to fall back on, for the first is
silver, and the later is gold.
Fred Memender from EllenbOro was
here last Wednesday evening and
bought new corn planter of w. H.
Finnegan. and we made Fred tie up
here for the night. We would not let
him go through the rain and mud. So
his wife must not blame Fred. He is
one our old tOwnsmen and we had
nice visit

Atlas, for Mirlo Boar, our general
