THE SHORT LINE TO
THE LAND OF FULFILLMENT”
SUBSCRIBED FOR THE PAPER
To Help Out the Editor But F ound
Out his flistake.
Thought His Home Paper Worthless,
and Did Not Read it—and
Thereby Hangs a Tale.
I once subscribed for my coun
ty paper, as I told my wife, to
help the editor along and keep
him encouraged. 1 told him 1
would hand him a dollar some
time. 1 did not take the paper be
cause 1 wanted to read it, as I had
no time to waste on the darn little
thing. Well, it came regular and
never missed a week. My wife
read every word in it and was al
ways tolling me something she had
seen in that paper, but I never
paid much attention to it.
I had a tine horse to sell and
was very anxious to dispose of
him but I could tind no one want
ing to buy horses. ()ne day I said
to my wife, ‘‘1 wish 1 could run
across some fellow wanting to part
from his money for a horse.” She
said, "Why yes 1 saw in the pa
per where a man would be in town
on a certain day to buy horses.” 1
rushed around and found the pa
per, read the notice, and the time
had passed by a week. I asked
the partner of my bosom why she
had thus dealt w.th nr*. She said
she had no idea 1 had a horse to
sell, and besides 1 should read the
paper myself. 1 felt hurt at my
wife, my town, my neighbors, the
horse buyer and the editor. Whv
didn’t somebody tell me about itf
What else had that measly editor
to do but to come out and sec me
and bring that horse buyer with
him# 1 was paying him a dollar a
year and felt that he was due me
that much courtesy. Well, no, I
was not paying him a dollar yet,
i but 1 would pay him some time
; when 1 ha,d a dollar to spare.
Things rocked along and run
: along for some time until 1 began
to cool olf In the meantime 1 had
bought some fruit trees from an
agent, and when 1 ordered them,
he told me that lie could not tell
the date of delivery, but would
give notice through the paper.
Well, one day I said to my wife,
"Nancy, it seems to me those trees
are a long time getting here, for it
is now nearly spring and no fruit
trees yet. The.\ should have been
set out three months ago.” "Why
Jack, 1 saw a notice in the paper
two months ago that they had
come and for everybody to come
can be greatly increased by giving
special care to the health of every
animal and fowl on the farm.
Sick poultry, sheep, cattle, hogs,
horses, etc., depend on their livers

Price 25c for a large can, at

in and get them.” There it was
again. I rushed off to town to
yet ray trees. When I got there
I asked the editor about it. He
said the agent left them there in
town with old man Smith and that
Smith died about a month ago. I
rushed around to Smith’s and
found out from his widow that my
trees were frozen. I was too full
for utterance so I said nothing.
Well, after that 1 began to no
tice everything in that paper and
found that it was full of good
reading matter and good advice
from the editor. I had been tak
ing that paper three years and had
never handed the editor the dollar
but I always needed my dollars,
so one day I got a notice from this
paper editor that I owed him three
dollars on subscription and that
he would be proud if 1 called at
once and pay him. This made me
so doggoned mad I like to have
fainted. Did the little cuss have
the audacity to send me a dun?
Me, .lack Nix, respectable fellowi
To send me a dun simply because
I had not come around and paid
him a little old measley, insignifi
cant sum of three dollars? My
blood boiled. I yanked up our
three-year-old boy and spanked
I him for not resenting the insult.
1 gave my wife one withering look
j that almost froze the blood in her
; veins for not flying into that man
; with both feet. I grabbed my old
; shot gun, my pocket knife, an axe
handle and an old cow bell, started
for that printing office with blood
in my eye and murder in my heart.
1 had no trouble in finding the ed
; itor at home, and 1 began away
back at the time of the Hood and
propounded to him the frailties
and shortcomings of mankind till
1 got down to the present genera
| tion, and then I made my point
clear by telling him what 1
thought of him and his dun. He
said in the smoothest language
possible that I was unnecessarily
disturbed. Then 1 told him 1 was
not the man to sit quietly down
and allow any man to dun me
right under my own vine and tig
tree. lie said: ‘'Is that what ails
you ?"I said,“Ain’t that enough?”
He laughed a comical laugh like a
; nightingale might laugh at the
proposal of matrimony from a
raccoon. He got up from his desk
ond showed me a pile of duns
three feet high that he had gotten
from concerns he owed for oil, ink,
type, paper, machinery, rent and
several other things. He showed
me in the twinkle of an eye that it
was impossible for him to pay his
bills unless his subscribers pay
him. After he had delivered his
sermon 1 did not wait for the ben
ediction but began to shell out. I
! paid him every cent I owed and 1
paid him five years in advance.
Now I take his paper and read ev
lery word in it and shall never al
low my paper to get behind
again.—Jack Nix in The Iioundup.

WILL PROSECUTE
CONWAY MOB.
Conway, Oct. 7.—Sheriff J. H.
Harrell announces that he will go
before the grand jury in .January'
and prosecute the leaders of the
mob that lynched Frank Brown,
the negro charged with assaulting
Mrs. Arlena Lawrence and mur
dering one of her children. He
says he has the oanjes of ten or
more of the men who led the mob
and incited others to the lawless
deed. Sheriff Harrell says Brown,
was gagged before he was hanged,
and if he made a confession no
one knows anything about it.
Near Hiram recently Mrs.
Brown, an aged lady, and her ten
year-old grandson, were drowned
while attempting to ford Bed riv
er, which had suddenly swollen.
As they rode in the saddle girth
broke and both were drowned.
No one saw the tragedy, but the
next day Mrs. Brown was found
about one-half mile below the ford
with her foot still fast in the sad
dle stirrup. The boy was found
near the crossing.
State Secretary Ben L. (Trillin
lias advised that an interstate
meeting of the Farmers’ Educa
tional and Co-operative Union of
America will be held at Texarka
na December 5 for the purpose of
organizing a national convention
of the different state unions. This
meeting was first set for Septem
ber 7, but was called off on account
of the quarantine.
