snowing by any means.

The funniest thing I've seen
lately happened h mre a few da\a
Itis’ntsd funny to tell it",
but I just wish every, friend and
enemy 1 : have in the world
could have seen it. Twns this
way. A fellow came riding into
town on a great big slick looking

Wra W e ‘ l ^ nun around his
wrists, leaned considerably bnca
ill his saddle, and in fact, made
every preparation for a great big
struggle with his mule while he
was getting use to the train, but
instead of anything like a conflict
with his jmtleship, the fool mule
made a heroic dash for the en-
gine, braving every jump, until it

p er f ect jy satisfied as if the engine

who had made such careful pre-
partitions to hang on to his mule
in case it undertook K. run from
the engine or cut up in any other
way had now to tiptoe in each
stirrup, lean forward, unwrap the
reins from around his wrists, slap
■the mule ever each shoulder with
his surplus reins and kick madly
against each side of the mule

mule was about as hard to
away from the engine as the ordi¬
nary mule is to. get up to a hole

has been burned out. Every look¬
er on laughed at this unusual psr-
formance 6 f ; this Jones county

some “GiCnip heie,” some "Kick
harder,” some "Ride him iu the

that might aggravate and Confuse

community recently while mak-

reason, bus can guess!.!
On last Friday night when
rural carrier was within about
four miles of the post office bis
horse became frightened and de¬

But little damage was done to the
vehicle, none to the carrier.

The Reason
Wo sold more vehicles last year
than dealers that have been in the
business for the last quarter of a
■century speaks volumes.
People are becoming more ex¬
acting every day. The first thing
they seek now is quulity. Thrjr
next consider the price. That is
sensible.
That explains the whole mat-
ter. Quality and prise is our
hobby. We do dot consider
cheap vehicles at all. We decide
on the best wagons and buggiea
and tlmn buy them no wo cau
undersell our competitors,
We get all the discounts off by
paying spot cash.
We can prove all we cay to be
true. Call and let us do it.
