Peoples Gin Co 1 ' ~ "I - -IKasl)- - ^ Stuff you needn't read unless you 1 care to. It's mostly nonseuse. ? One man savs the reason there . are few weevils in old corn this ] summer is that there is no corn.

Traveling salesmen carry a 1 good supply of jokes, and they seldom fail to create a laugh j when they try. One told Mon. day of a negro in a neighboring ( county who has been somewhat upset about the war, He j line r>rv /Irvol4??. 1 * *- - ' 1 1 mo uu unauc iu no wiiu ne ioiu , about it after this manner: "Dey may concrete me and make me < go, but I shore ain't gonna vulcanize to go."

Buck says Luke has chewed so much of this, his . favorite brand, that he is so shv of bridges that it is hard to induce him to cross one. 1 It has been many years since , meat was so high. It is said that one day last week a citizen of Pageland sent his small son 1 to a store in Pageland for fifty cents worth of meat. A few minutes later the boy was seen 1 scratching manfully in the sand < as he cried for help. When a j kind passerby asked him what he was crying about he replied ' that he dropped fifty cents worth of meat and before he could pick it up an ant grabbed it and ran into a hole. How high is meat at Monroe. John. * h Found It In the Tire 1 Somehow, when the talk reverts to cylinders and carbura i ters, we always bolt the crowd, j nuiuuiuune raiK?maybe it is be . cause of a fondness we once had j for the horse -doesn't interest us. Automobile humor is about { the same way with us, but Prof. | Cadieu, the man upstairs, un- j derstands it all, and today he's chuckling over a little mishap . I Joel Griffin had Wednesda> on [ I his way to the mountains. He had finished putting in a new . inner tube, and was preparing to f leave the barn when he discovered that one of the tire tools was x missing. He searched vainly; ? but giving it up. started on his j way. When he reached Bakers, j or somewhere near that place, _ he had another puncture. After < taking off the tire, he found his missing tire tool in the casing. NOW the Professor enllo ilm? - viuu uiai funny, but we think that Joel I will agree with us that there isn't any humor about it.?John 1 Beaslev in Monroe Journal. f Meeting of Trustees ?
