PLUMBING — HEATING — ELECTRICAL CONTRACTING A \ A \ “DEAR SANTA” . . . This calls for a lot of deep thinking. You mustn't ask for too much, but yon hate to ask for too little. NOBODY'S BUSINESS By GEE McGEE Why So Much Law deer mr. edditor: plese allow me space in yore val- i uable paper to express my views on a important subject which is as followers: why is it necessary for us to have so much law in our com munity today? the streets is full of poleesmens and the highways is full of traffic cops and‘the counties.are full of sherriffs and sherriff’s depu ties : we have maggistrates all over the . county and a whole passel of same in towns, the county courts run ^nearly all of the tune at a cost too high to talk about, there’s so much loafering in courts a person has only to set and set, and draw his pay. w’e have enough officers in our little community to poleese 2 counties. the cases that are tried consist of a few fast drivers, a fellow now and the* that has looked upon the bottle 4 when it is red, and a few minor fights amongst families ansoforth; . and here and there, a few hit-supper brawls, none of these officers pre vent crime; they only try to unkiv- ver it after it has happened. it won’t be long befoar the officers wont have anyboddy to arrest, as they will all be officers, this corry- spondent believes in law and order, but he do not believe that we need all of the enforcement officers to look after us. it must cost the average county at least 5,000$ per day to em-1 ploy so much law. yores trulie, holsum moore, rfd, corry spondent Lost Or Stolen mrs slim chance, sr., has lost her spitts dog and she is almost- crazy from grief, she justs sets and moans all day looking out of the window, 1 I hoping to see her deer darling dog i return back home, she hasn't benn i anny account around the house since j“hey-you” (that's his name) left her bed and board. mrs. chance has offered a nice re ward for the return alive of hey-you. | she says he is black in front and white in the back and a white streak j runs under him and his years are i black and he ancers to his name j when called in a nice sweet voice. | he was last saw followering a ! strange man with a walking stick i on main street. this strange man had on over- l halls, wore a hat, a shirt, a vest and was chawing tobacker. he mought have followed him ofif and then later on, the strange man mought of stole the dog and carried him to parts un known. this strange man allso had j a mushtash, but it could of benn ! false, and thus disguised him so’s he could steal hey-you. - the publick at large will plese keep a sharp lookout for “hey-you” and if he is ketched and returned to mrs chance, a reward will be given and manny thanks will be tendered to the finder of the said dog. he wiggles his tail a right smart and that ought to identify him, so whoever sees a dog that looks like “hey-you” wiggl ing his tail, plese ketch him and re turn him back home, her address is flat rock, foam no. is 281-j. Cotton Letter New York. A broker in Dallas told another broker in New Orleans that a business man in Memphis had been reliably notified that a Brain- truster from Yale had received in formation that the parity on cotton would be reduced Jrom 90 per cent to 70 per cent by the next Congress. 1 This information came as a great shock to the spot-holders in the South and East, and they began to shuck loose from some of their con tracts and that’s why cottoh went up 18 peints near noon today. Some mills are still buying but they are j complaining about slow sales and ' merchandise backing up on them. I ♦ I The labor unions have threatened to follow the mills both to the South as well as to Puerto Rico and it wont | be long bgforp the labor costs there will rise and shine above everything els, including time and two-thircis for over-time, half of every week as a holiday and double time for lunch, supper and breakfast. Therefore, we suggest that you go easy unless you ■ have retired tend now live on Easy Street. * / \ It Is not scjBGch the fancy words that make up Christmas sentiments and greetings as it is the thoughts that prompt them.
