rears are paid in full
The leading article in one of our
exchanges -down the road laBt week
was six toes long and our proof read
er counted seventeen errors therein
It was a war article and needless to
say was
a corker
Manager Bidwell of the JSlkhorn is
taking hold of the potato Question with
both hands He says that only 140
cars of potatoes were shipped from
this section of the state last year and
says he sees no reason why this
ber shouJd not be raised to 14000 cars
rreeleyCcl ships a train load of pota
1 toes dailyyyet we raise better
-toes than does Greeley
It is rumoredone of the young ladies
of a neighboring town is canvassing

Good has issued his ultimatum and if
the News man does not accede to his
terms for peace by noon on the 21st

path with Thorns Gordon Journal
The Rev Sam Jones the Georgia
evangelist was holding a series of5
meetings at a church whose pastor
was noted for his lack of good looks
One evening at a revival service as he
was talking about the sin of hypocri
sy and and duplicity he iu a sudden
gleam of characteristic humor turned
round to the pastor sitting in the pul
pit behind him -and said -amid a
whirl wind of laughter
Well John youi congregation can
never accuse yeu of being a two faced
man can they For the Lord knows
that if you had another face youd
wear it wouldnt you May Ladies

There are whole souled men small
louled men and no sou led men
Among the latter may be classed the
men of whom this article treats M
Some time ago one of ourpnost
prominent young men toldusl this
ietory or one substantially the same
Hehadoccasion tosenter one of our
smaller business houses a short time
ago but upon trying the door found
it locked Hearing voices inside he
t demanded admittance On entering
he discovered three boys aged 12 to 15
-years and the proprietor of the place
On the table was a deck of cardSj aDd
covered by a paper wasa small pile of
nickles and pennies -We will go -no
further the reader can draw his own
conclusions
There is another place in town where
a dice game is run for a nickle a shot
and young boys are the victims This
is done in a most brazen manner but
if a stranger or older persoa steps in-
Bide no coin will be seen and the
proprietor will probably remarK that
-they are shaking for fun This
joint is under observation and when
positive evidence is obtained the boss
-will probably be taught a lesson in
American government that will make
his teeth chatter These men de-
aerve the contempt of every citlaen
fcut we are sorry to nay that the con
nempt or nonest people -will have do
xaore effectupon them than will water
on a duck When they -stoop to rob
bing the poor innocent boys who think
they are smart when they learn to play
pokec shoot the dice and smoke cigar
ettes they show themselves deyoid of
principles of lionor or honesty and be
come fit subjects for the pen of a
Brann It is things of this kind that
make criminals of our youths
i pother watch that boy
