SCALP~BOUNTY
The impression seems to have
gone out that the scalp bounty
fund has been exhausted, but
County Judge Howell Johnson
informs us that sufficient funds
remain to meet all scalp bounty
claims that may be presented to
the Commissioners Court at their
regular meeting in November.
POINTED PARAGRAPHS
Eve had the best husband in
the world— at that time.
If a young widow looks well in
black she is as apt to wear it for
her next husband as well as for
the late lamented.
An old bachelor says a man's
loyalty to his family is as noth-
ing when -compared with a wo-
man’s loyalty to her pet brand of
face powder.
The weigh of the transgressor
is short measure—and that's
hard on him who is so unfortu-
nate as to have to deal with trans-
gressors.
$500 Reward
2000 sheep stolen, mixture of
ewes, lambs and weathers; brand-
ed A and a dot on right side;

for information leading to recov-
ery of the sheep.
