place the following morning.

accommodating ticket agent has
been walking up and down our

er two old friends and cronies
had a “lovers quarrel” last Sat
urday evening resulting in a
little disfiguring of their “facial
expressions” but not of their love
for one another. The trouble
began by their seeing “thx-ough
a glass darkly last Saturday
evening. They appeared before
the mayor a hard aggregation,
both pleading injured innocense.
The fine of $2.50 and cost was
placed against each and they
were forthwith turned loose to
rake up acquaintances and call
each other ‘ aamphools.” *
J. M, Fowler of Tip was in our
city last Thursday.
Quite a little amusement was
given those who witnessed the
antics of one of the heading
men, who works for our friend
Flynn, last Friday evening. He
was loaded up on base ball, head
ing and about two drinks more
than he could very well navigate
with. Being a heading man lie
had the idea that he was a new
Sandow and proceeded to inform
the crowd of his supernatural
strengh and prowess. Our
friend Bob Smith who is also in
the employ of the company and
who has the interest and welfare
of the company as well as the
men employed by the company
at heart, politely escorted the
would-be pugilist far enough out
of town to insure his safe arrival
at home. On the way out Bob
and the “boozer” had quite a few
set tos and sham fights. Bob
doing the sham-fighting act
while the “boozer” would set out
after Bob and try to hit him a la
Sandow. Bob says he would
calmly step aside and in the
place of the “boozer” hitting him
he would almost invariably hit
the ground. So much for booze
and the boozer.

An exchange is responsible
for the following: At a revival
meeting in Oklahoma a man arose
and said that he was the wicked-1
est man in town. “I’d go to hell i
tonight if I should die tonight,”,
he concluded. Immediately an j
old deacon started the hymn, “If
you get there before I do, look j
out for me for I’m coming too. ” j
And then the deacon wondered
why every body laughed. j
We aie unformed that a “box
supper” was given at Jack Pul
ley’s home near Fakes’ last week
and $3.25 realized. A pleasant
and enjoyable time is said to
have been had by all present.
