Mayor Pro Tern Boae’t First Cjs i in
Cemt
The first round of the "mill of the
gods” was made yesterday morning at
the City Hall, his honor J. W. Bones,
Mayor pro tem at the hopper.
The first grist preented was Guy Ram
sey chared with being drunk and dis
orderly.
His honor blew his nose and called
the court to order. Guy was marched
to t he front and told to take off his hat.
Guy was disposed to be obliging and
he took off his hat.
His honor began?
“And so your name is Norval is it,
‘and your fattier feeds his flocks on the
Grampian hills.”
No sir; my name’s not Norval, uni
father hain’t gdl no flocks and I hain’t
got no father” replied Guy.
■ “Then who are you?” RRked his hon
or
“I’me an orfing sir." answered Guy
in a dreary tone.
“An orphan syrtipithatically repeated’’
his honor.
“Yes sir an orfing.”
.“Then you ought to be ashamed of
yourself to be getting drunk and cut
ting up shines “mildly said his honor.
“Well tir,” said Guy “you see how it
was, I wasn’t drunk I was jist centen-
naling; This is the great jubiium of
the American Jamboree you know, and
I am a reconstructed loil American
Epluribus unum of African scent, and
I was jist celebrating a little; but as fuy
gitting drunk sir Idenies the fact.’!
“Where is the witness in this case,’
asked his honor.
“Sukey Braudnax ” called the mar
shal.
“Here mesah” promptly responded
Sukey.
“Well Sukey said his honor, do you
know the value of an oath.” “In course
I does sah; three baTS of soap and a
checked apurn” reponded Sukey.
“Correct” said his honor, now tell the
court all you know about the
prisoner.”
“Bout Guy” asked Sukey.
“Yes about the case” explained liis
honor.
“Oh sah he’s a bad case sah; Gy is.”
“Well tell the court what he did”
said his honor.
“Oh sah I can’t, its scanlas ter relate
an too bad ter tell” modestly protested
Sukey.
His honor blushed.
“Vory well Sukey you can stand
aside I respect your modesty and now
Mr. Ramsey it becomes my unpleasant
duty to pass sentence upon you hold up
your hand and hear your doom. I want
Halo's Fertilizer.
We take peculiar pleasure in calling
the attention of our Farming friends to
the advertisement of Capt Bale’ in an
other column, The Fertilizers are
manufactured by Capt. Bale himself,
and are properly inspected, so that par
ties buying them may rest assured of
what they are buying. It is much bet'
ter to buy when one knows the parties
and can rely upon his representation,
fhe manufacture of fertilizers by Capt.
Bale is becoming quite an enterprise
He has doubled his capacity during the
past year, and can supply any demand.
His Fertilizjrs are fast growing in pop.
ularity, never failing to give complete
satisfaction wherever tried. He sells
a first class article and much cheaper
than any other firm would sell the
same article. Both in quality and
price he can well defy competition.
See his advertisement.
