Now there is no connection between
the above paragraph and this, as you
see there are three stars separating
them.
We wish to very respectfully in
form the Herald Reporter that we
have a copyright on Battle Nall.
While we don't mind you using him
occasionally, but don't connect him
with the Beaver Dam switchboard,
as it's too tough on the operatress.
There is one thing in this town that
is as cheap as before the war: the
brand of advice offered by the soap
box devote. He is ever ready and al
ways at your side, but should the av-
erage layman take all of the free
stuff offered ten chances to one it
would prove dearer in price than the
old H. c. L.
Our venerable old friend, DR.. T. D.
Renfrow, of Cynthiana, was in town
Monday and the very first thing he
asked us was, did they bite good
Yesterday" He hollered clear across
the street too, where lot Of people
could hear, as if we would fish on
Sunday. The gall and "oncharita-
bleness" and evil of some mems mind
is a plum fright. 90 rww7H-

Some things that you will never
hear of happening again: Dowden
Estes being too busy to talk little;
Uncle Elec Curtis too much engrOssed
with the steering wheel of his car
to look at an attractive Jane; Roll
Riley and Nut Hunter lending money
without interest; Cal Keown and Bob
Gillespie remaining awake during
long Sunday sermons; the writer fail
ing to go fishing with half chance;
Republicans voting for Wilson and
Democrats saying he kept us out OF
war.
1t certainly does squelch our nam
ny to slip an S15x11, single spaced
letter, of which we desired to keep
a carbon copy, out of our old Oliver,
only to find that we had the dadgum-
med carbon paper down-side up, or
outside in, or something, anyhow
that the copy was stuck on the back
side of the original and was wrong
end foremost, and inseparable from
the one we wanted to send. Even
the office Devil seems to know that
there is something radically wrong
and gives us a wide berth when this
happens to US. Git outen here Bat,
or you will get kicked out-consarnit.

We remarked, the other day, that
this burglarizing epidemic in which
the country seemed to be clutched
didn't bother us very much, in per-
sonal way, as we had nothing other
than our good name to lose, but did
hope that no one would rob us OF
that. Peggy, the linotypist, ejaculat-
ed about as follows: That it was a
cinch that nobody would ever be
prosecuted for theft, and not even a
case of petty larceny would be con-
sidered by the Court. What in Sam
Hill do you 'spose she meant, any
way?
We bet Doc Pirtle pint of raw
fishing worms that the river would
rise so much, Tuesday night and
lost. Doc thinks he has arranged to
have a nice batch of red, rigging
worms mined from the river bank
somewhere, for some of his fishing
later on, and i don't want to heal
what / feel sartln he's going to lei
forth when he tries to string up some
of those nasty, old, black, soft worms
I'm going to dig for him around oul
ash hopper and barn lot.
Jack Hudson, of Buford, was In
town yesterday and said he did moi
sleep much the night before, saic
when he got fairly off in his first
good nap his father awoke him to &c
to the barn and look after the stock
as he had heard them in some sort OF
Icommotion. He crawled out and hik
ed it to the barn, but all was calm
He returned, snuggled down 'twix'
the blankets and was soon at it again
when his parents gave him the stock
in-trouble alarm the second time
when he had to truckle out to the
harm the second time, and as at first
