Not A Murder In A Week
In This One-Horse Toun
Gan editorial worth reading

Gan editorial worth readng)
There was not single murder in Seymour last
We didn't even have street brawl that was worth
reporting in the big city newspapers. Bootlegging
was also reported rather dull, not that some of our
citizens might not have engaged in it if there had been
cash in it, but the demand the stuff seems to
be dropping.
Also we are forced to report that we did not have
sensational divorce with nice details for the
children about love nests and pent house trYstsn and
all those interesting things about in the
big city papers.
No Gin Smashups
There wasn't big automobile smashup with
gin-soaked boys and girls killed and injured
Likewise there hasn't been any graft scandal Our
officials must not be smart some of those big
city politicians for they don't get their names in the
papers in connection with stealing the peoples taxes
things like that.
And there lot of other things which we
cannot report as happening in Seymour last week.
Not Much-Maybe
Yes, sir, hardly anything happened. Must be true
what of our folks saying about Seymour be-
ing dull, one horse town.
Course there a lot of little things happening
but they didn't amount to a hill of chinch bugs For
instance the Seymour Livestock Shipping association
at its annual meeting last Saturday passed resolution
tearn' the hide off the packing companies for low
prices, but that don't amount to much. Just pack of
old farmers.
Sure there's lot of others-about 100000
other farmers and their families in the country like
them but they're important alongside those peo-
pie who always getting killed divorced
thing like that
This Was No Good
Then had declamatory contest at the high
school auditorium last Friday night which kinda packed
'em in at 10 and 20 cents throw, but that didn't
amount much either although some of the kids are
supposed to have chance at state honors. The
test must not have been much good, for some of
wisest people in town said so. The Rebekahs put on
pretty good show Wednesday night and will repeat
Thursday night too but it's probably good either
for if the audience did almost fall the aises
laughing of our best dramatic critics in town
said it was the bunk.
Bills Always Talkin
There were lot of people at the Community sale
last Friday afternoon but that's worth reporting
Bill Wright said it good turnout and they're
going to put every other week, and that a lot
of people in town and lot of money changed
hands, but then you know Bill he's always telling how
good Seymour is discount lot of his state
ments.
few people died also, but that wasn't much
news. They hadn't done much to make them famous
Never been involved in any big scandals just sort of
lived honest, upright lives and went to their just
ward Sure, their examples might be inspiring
of youngsters, but heck the young folks don't
about that, according to Seymour wiseacres
Nick Got Slapped
Then we had all the church services on Sunday
but who cares about what bunch of preachers are
spouting about? They do say that couple of the
sermons were kinda good, that of the sky pilots
out and told few honest truths and slapped not
only Old Nick himself, but also couple of Nick's
earthly representatives in right smart, interesting
way but only several hundred people heard them and
what's that compared to the big crowds in the cities?
Every one in Seymour is broke, anyhow, SO what
can we expect Course the last official report shows
our postal savings here about $4,000 compared to
