If any travelers were abroad they were indeed unfortunate. Benny Aderhold says there is one district in this county that he will give the “go-by” in the future. He sold a farm to a man for several hun¬ 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. qq ic above poetic lines came troop- 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.
