dred dollars, and when he went to
collect one of the payments a few
days ago the man said he could not
possibly pay bim anything, as he did
not make but one bale of cotton and
very little corn. This looked kinder
strange to Benny, as the man had
worked two mules to make the crop.
The man is holding that lone bale,
waiting for a rise in the price of the
fleecy staple.
There is a man in our town—
A swell society man, sorter—
Who always happens to be around
When they want a bucket of water.

j n „ an( j clow ding themselves upon
t jj 0 m ( n( j 0 f «Cltarley the I’oct Ed-
; tor ” a f ew days since as he was
slowly and meditatively wending his
way down Main street, and lie says
if laughing would make a man grow
fat that he would be a very corpulent
man, or anybody else would, if they
could have seen the “swell society
man, sorter” as he lugged the pail of
water up the hill, to receive there¬
for—a smile.
