The Columbus fiiiquirer-Snn has
received the following letter fretU an
appreciative suliscriber, telling the
effects of following the funning ad
vice given by the editor: > .
“I and rpy father before me have
been reading your paper for fifty
years or more, aud 1 wouldn’t miss a
copy of it for anything—it wouldn’t
seem natural to go without it. A
vein- or tw o ago the paper had a
number of pointed editorials urging
farmers to raise’ everything they
needed at home. ‘What’s the use of
buyjng anything,’ it ssid, ‘while you
can raise it at home 1” Well, that
thing struck me. Pretty soon I
needed some corn whi-key, for medi
cal (and orimr) purposes, and 1 made
ii. I have just finished working out
the sentence. I guess you all meant
well, but yon didn’t know what
trouble you were getting your read
ers into.”
The Clay County (Kansas) Deni -
e at passes up the following: "A
modern dude with narrow striped
clothes saddle-colored shoes, a loud
necktie, hair parted over his nose and
smoking u cigarette, addressed Ins
best girl tluiw: “If you was me aud
I.was /bn, what would you do?”
jUlie hesitatingly said with a smile:
“I would ukw off that hidf-ous tie,
pot that cigarette in the stove, part
my lutir on tiie side, then pray to
God for some brains.”
I desire to annonnee that during
my absence from the pity that my
mother, Mrs. M. J. Reynold*, will be
in charge of ray laundry business.
All orders left st her store will be
promptly attended aud deliveries
will be nude to any part of the city.
