Next? While waiting my turn in a bar- i bershop the other day, I observed many interesting things. First, 1 found out that 1 am a poor waiter. Next, I read this sign hanging on an overhead heating pipe that swung rather low near the shoe-shine stand: "Notice?IXin't bump your head: This means YOU." I didn't get bumped. I found out this while in that barbershop: Were it not for ?l few dandies and cake eaters and lounge lizards, and possibly a few particular people, the barbers would starve to death.. They simply could not get along on patronage like unto mine: Vizzly*?a 35 cent haircut about every 3 week a. When my curW on my < neck get long enough to invite the use of hairpins, I have them severed forthwith. o 1 watched a young fellow get dolled up in thfit barbershop. He watt a mechanic in u gagare. lie , drew possibly |17.50 per week. He wait handsome and had found it out from somebody. He was in love. 1 saw that at the firat glance. He stayed in the barber's chair 1 hour and 13 minute a by my watch. When ho got through, the man poked the following bill at him: Hair Cut $0.35 Shave . .15 .. Shampoo .50 Head Waah 26 Neck Shave 10.

The names of the fishemen could not be learned, but anyway the story comes from a reliable source and its authenticity cannot he questioned. The two fishermen were drifting down Little I'ee Dee and one waa manipulating a jigger while the other was guiding the boat. They came to some overhanging limbs and stretching at full length upon one of the limbs was a huge water mpccasin. Little Pee Dee is a river of overhanging boughs, and water moccasins stretched at full length upon projecting limbs are not an uncommon sight. They Kave a disagreeable habit of dropping in boats, but veteran fishermen who appreciate the value of quietude when angling for the elusive robin or trout, do not disturb them. The oarsman guided the boat gently to one side to avoid the outstretched snake, but in so doing floated directly under another snake which he had not observed. The moccasin rolled gently from the limb and slid down the oarsman's shirt which was open at the collar. The oarsman grabbed at the snake's protruding tail with such violence thai he tore it off. Enraged or pained at the loss of'his tail, the snake set up a series of cycles around the oarsman's body, twixt shirt and skin, somewhere in the region of the waistband. There was a yell that rent the heavens and echoed and re-echoed up and down the river, followed by contortions of leg* god body that would # have made a circus acrobat turn * green with e?vy. The oarsman's friend rushed to his ( companion's assistance, tore the shirt 1 from the body, and his snakeship, ! no doubt as badly frightened as the j 1 man lie was tormenting, took a head-1 Ion;; plunge into the cool waters of ) Little Pee I>ee. It was a harrowing and thrilling experience from which the unlucky fisherman did not recover for several hours.?Dillon Herald. Little Mabel Kornio, Huntington, W. Va., drowned Friday night in a barrel of water members of the family had hauled miles to their home, where the drought hus dried up all the wells and streams. The barrel was placed ne^r a porch. The child, one year old, crept too close to the edge, and toppled in. NOTICE TO CREDITORS OF THE ESTATE OF EARL H.
