Pat Helbig said the judge was GER
tainly eXtravagant with other peoples
money, when a fine of $500 and costs
was applied to the debit books of his
business.
Scoop had two pleasant callers in
his private office last Friday evening
concerning the roadhouse at Deep
Creeke Bridge. These two gentlemen
want it known that they charge only
a nickel for cold drinks. l agreed
with them in that.
They also tried to convince me that

for ten cents. didn't agree with them
in that. They never disputed the price
of the coffee, which was ten cents for
one cup.
Pm just as glad to say that the
drinks are only five cents as I was to
say that coffee was ten cents; and also
that they have five cent dippers of
cream.
The party broke up in good spirits,
and 1 hope Deep Creek prospers.

highway to preserve car tenders; COW
grazing on the cement, red cherries on
trees, ready to pick; two girls hitch
hiking, and had load; lots of bug
juice on windshield; driver in car
ahead pointed to beauties of nature,
knocked ashes from cigaret, and
stretched, each one causing me to jam

l did my yearly trip yesterday. I
dropped around to Doc Grants office,
the tusk polisher, to have him ex-
anime my fangs and see if any wash
ers needed slipping on. There's only
one reason do it and that is so I can
eat taffy and not go around swapping
at vittles with bare gums.

Mammoth Cave and he Immediately
began poking around with an instru-
ment. Twice he touched something
that suggested the quick bursting kiss
OF tropical lightning bolt, but we
just laughed that off-that is, he did
most of the laughing.
Then he shipped off couple yards
OF something, put it on my molar and
smeared it with something tasting

electric fan. was just getting ready
