TWO DOGS
DFORD DEBT
Bring More Than a Young
Mule At Same Sale

A novelty in the way of execu
tion sales took place here Fri
day when Constable {, F. john
son sold couple of hound dogs,
levied on as the property OF Clyde
Burris. to satisfy a judgement
rendered against him in favor of
Jesse R. Rymer, by Squire w.
\, Kerr.
A large crowd of country peo-
pie were in town, attracted by the
sale of the dogs, as it was the
first time in the history of the
county that dogs had been levied
on for debt.
A number of funny incidents
took place cefore and during the
sale Burris contended that under
the constitution of George Wash
ington man was entitled to a.
gun and dog Some of the we'll
known fox hunters stated that
they would bid on the dogs, but
were afraid the Legislature would
repeal the dog law and then the
sale would be void.
The hounds were finally bid in
by w. A. Slack for the sum OF
500, the two dogs together bring
ing $35 more than good S-year-
old mule, which was sold at public
just before the dogs were
put up for sale. /

OH SHUCKS!

ilor who asks the support o
the business men of us commu
nifty is in effect a beggar! The
high and mighty orator haughtily
insists that all patronage must be
solicited upon a purely business
basis ahd that the pvolisher who
expects anybody TO patronize him
to help the paper is a poor
weak worm of the dust and does
mot deserve support.
May be that is true of metropol-
itan newspapers, though I'm by
no means sure about that; but 1t
certainly is not true of the average
village newspaper. Anybody who
ever sponded to the invitation of
a set of business men TO come to
their town and establish a paper
can tell ynu how free they are to
promise support. " The pub
Usher is risking the savings of his
life-t time and his onl V means of
gaining a livelihood. Naturally
he is a little cautious about ven
turing. But the business men
know that their town will never
amount to anything" without a
newspaper They unanimously
promise to stand by it. They
Will buy all their job work at
home and not split pennies about
the price. The department
store" will run lots OF big ads.
Every business man in town will
use space regularly and pay a fair
price for it. "Oh, we will see
you through, never fear, "
Finally in fear and trembling,
the publisher, against his own
better judgment, allows himself to-
De persuaded. He starts off fine.
Everybody IS snthnslast1c and |
hey are all going to get rich, now
hat they have a newspaper. But
he first of the month cpmes, the
publisher wants a check and the
business has not
doubled. Each pay day a few
more of them either urop out or
,ut down their space. The de
,artment store ad shrlnks to about
ell inches each issue, for which
en- cents an Inch seems big price
o pay.
What can the publisher do
bout it ? He spent all his say
ngs to move in, and he certainly
las had no chance to accumulate
fund to move him out. His
amily does not wear snCh good
.lothes as they did when they first
anne. He doesn't make such
cash donations as eVory
public spirited man should. Pros
,ects are dark. Then he gets
lice CHEEKY invitation to attend an
EDITORIAL convention. That 5 it,
