A quartet of the “Old Maids”
drove to Revels Sunday. They

We sincerely thank the Cheat
urn Lake reporter for the kind
and lengthy definition they gave
us of the word, “kinking.” If
we had been lucky enough to
have possessed a dictionary, es
pecially a soda packer’s edition,
we wouldn’t have bothered them
with an inquiry. It has never
been our pleasure to see a kink
in a baling wire but we have a
vivid recollection of seeing some
fellows after smelling of a Hay
ner cask that became so badly
kinked it was some time before
all the kinks were entirely out
of them. And others who could
so spontaneously twist them
sel ces that they were thoroughly
competent to handle any subject
without knowing just where they
began or how they ended, but as
this was brought about by the
Devil's" mistake and notour's,
we 11 leave off the subject with
out further discussion.
