The Hartford republican. (Hartford, Ky.) 18??-1926, 1920-03-12


don't blame me.
We doubt IL there is r. r. on
the continent on which trains are run
that carry better whistles than these
two of ours, on the NJ. II. & f.
We chronicled some remarks about
I. ID. Claire week before last and
whether thru spirit of resentment or
otherwise, he came across with a
''wad" of beads nicely strung the
next.
Rial says seeing as how John
King is agent for some sort of monu-
ment works, 1t would be mighty
good time for John to go hence, as
he would, maybe, save the agents dis
count on slab marking the spot
where he laid down.
Somebody said Roll Riley stayed
sick as long as Mrs. Riley would per-
NIT him to hit that bit of reserve he
stored up before 7-1-19. Doc, his
brother, says Roll had nothing much
the matter with him for several days
and he, Roll, lays it to Doc about
Mrs. Riley cutting him off of that
private stock stuff. He would have
probably been sick another month
but he saw it was no use and he got |
up and out.
Battle Nall got his back in a kink
a few days ago, and boosted the |
checker and high, low, jick, jack and
the game crowd out of his pressing
joint. Since the stay-out edic:
emenated from his majesty, the no.
where-to-go gang looks like bunch
of busted youths at a country picnic
We are mighty glad to see it warm
up once more. During the past cold
spell my wife has been making &
brooder out of me for gang of 40
young chickens. | have not been
able to sleep at night, fearing l might
turn over and smother some of the
little darlings, CD besides have got
just about enough of this mother
business for chickens anyhow.
j. l. Goodman started to have the
flu last week, but when his best bet
failed to produce anything he got on
the convalescent list and has been
steadily improving.
Those darn chickens will be Just
about big enough to go fishing about
the second week in May and I'll bet
two bits to a dozen horn buttons thai
some sneak steals at least a quarter
Of dozen of them about that time
Ed Barrass' says about the Graf $
test thing he ever pulled and the q
most luck he ever had was when he II
got his wife to form the habit of
sleeping on the getting-up side of [
he bed. By the time he rubs his q
eyes open and yawns a few times the S
wife has good fire going and about /
he time he gets dressed its ditto IN y
he kitchen range, and he don't catch @
lp with her until they start eating Il
breakfast.
/. d. Claire makes inquiry about C
everal of the old land marks of this b
urg, and to start with; Alec Curtis "
Ioings, we will say that Uncle Alec d
las been moving along in about the f
anne old rut in the same old way, he G.
as, however, treated himself to a k
ouple of baths down at the barber G
hop this winter that we know Of Eek
,ial still drives the same old gray Ell
oss and every time he hollers whoa B
4 front of your door it never means ca
sss than four bits out of your pocket, d,
no he may not render dimes worth W
service. Ben Taylor is still here B
nd as he has quit the barber shop tn
nd l never hear him arguing scrip
Ire, ! don't suppose he is doing Ct
Iuch of any thing. The movie to
ouse was dark for some time IS
a account of the breakdown of the W
ght plant, therefore the Pop Corn al
ing, Kaiser Rial, was on low limb. TO
len too, another guy operated up pl
the rink (by gas lights), for an
spell, and he sold pop corn and
1oblepeas with a gold ring in every a
,g and when he started that bust til
sss Rial dropped from the low limb ar
,wn to between the spur-roots. II ia
Ie man at the rink had continued i'm
e would have looked for the ].
aiser to hunt hole in the pr
ut of the tree. To our chagrin, 70
scomfiture and disgust Battle Nall wi
ntinues to try to loaf in our office. ST.
o we have ordered him out an hun go
