THE ONLY AGENTS IN THIS TOWN
A gentleman rushed into a
country office on publication day,
says an exchange, and said “I
have just lost a dog and would
like to have you insert this ad for
me: ‘Fifty dollars reward for the
return of a pointer dog answer¬
ing to the name of Rex. Disap¬
peared from the yard of the Man¬
sion house Monday night. > >)
Why, we were just going to
press, sir,'’ the editor said, “but
we’ll be only too glad to hold the
edition for your ad. J)
The gentleman returned to the
hotel. After a few minutes he
decided, however, that it lnigh
be well to add “No questions
asked” to his advertisement, and
rushed back to the office.
The place was deserted save
for the skinny little freckle-faced
devil, who sat perched on a high
stool, gazing wistfully out of the
window.
k t Where is everybody?” asked
the gentleman.
Gone to look for the dawg! t”
replied the boy.
A beautiful young girl and her
mother were discussing the
eternal marriage question. Well,
there is Chares Adams mur
mured mother, thoughtfully;
after long pause. < t Charles
a
Adams,” sneered the girl- “He ip
old, he is ugly, he is mean, he is
a coward. Charles Adam! Why,
he has nothing in the world to
recommend him except his
money. >) < < You forget his heart
disease”, said the mother softly.
Sphere.
The postal receipts of the lo¬
cal Post Office are over 100 per
cent greater than they were
eight years ago. Fort Valley is
growing some.
Almost Persuaded
We alneost nearly succeeded in
procuring a new subskriber last
week. Clem Wilkins dropped
into the Bugle office and said he
had been thinking seriously of
subscribin fer the last 7 or 8
years and we told Clem that if he
wanted to have a up to date paper
which would give him all the news
of the world and adjacent terri¬
tory, he ought to pay us 32 and
have the Bugle come to his home
every week. In order to further
convince Clem of the merit of the
Bugle, we told him there wasn’t
noting better to tie up packages
in, start fires with cold winter
morning, or to spread on the
kitchen cupboard shelves, than
back numbers of the Bugle. This
argument convinced Clem and
he had his hands in his pocket
ready to pUTl out the two dollars,
when who should walk in but
Ranse Hillyer, and when he seen
I what Clem was going to do, he
says, “Do not do that Clem—you
psy ffie a dollar, and I will let you
read my Bugle after I get thru
with it, then we will both git to
read it and it wont cost us but
one dollar each per annum. 3 3
Clem done this and they both de¬
parted, leaving us very deep with
disgust. Ranse when he done
that was taking the bread out-en
our very mouth as you might say.
