Brain Leaks.
A man of principle takes un
interest in politics.
Life is worth tlie living if the
liveris worthy of life.
The men who believe in them-
selves never blame their failures
on others.
A lot of men looked firm be-
cause a hi^; bunch of whiskers
hide a receding chin.
The man who is always boast
ing about his rights seldom has
a thought for another's wrongs.
The fellow who agrees with
our pet ideas is always a man of
good sense and judgment.
The woman who was married
at eighteen always thinks her
daughter of twenty is a Mere
child.
A lot of people yearn for
strawberries about now who
woulden’t give a nickle a bushel
for them in June.
Dear brother, did you ever
notice that the clothing stores
offerd the best barguing just
when you did’t have a cent.
We envy the expert billard
player for the time he spent in
becoming an expert* We could
have used it to the much better
advantage.
We are usually pretty careless
in our walking, but up to date
we haven’t stumbled over the
fragments of any “busted"
trusts.
Some jH'ople worry themselves
sick to get into society, only to
find after they have succeeded
that it is very much like being
in jail.
Blaster is approaching, but it
is a pleasure to ponder on the
fact that the new style bonnets
can not be any more mashed up
than the present ones.
Notice.
All those interested in come
ter.v lots and wishing graves dug
please call on Wife Bynum in
the absence of the undersigned.

Stopped His Paper.
A couple of years ago a cranky
sort of an old man came into this
office and stopped his paper be-
cause something in it did not
suit his faney. Wo have fre-
quently met him on the street
since that time and it is amusing
to note the look of surprise on
the old fellow’s face that we are
still in existence regardless of
the fact that he stopped his pa-
per an«l can borrow it from las
neighbor without paying for it.
Some day and it won’t he long
either that old gentleman will
turn up his toes to the daisies.
His heart will be still forever.
Neighbors and friends will follow
bis lifeless clay to the silent city
and lay him to rest among the
flowers. An obituary will b«

county in obeyance to the
humiliation of her Democratic
