Mike And His Famous Dogs
flat rock, *. C., aug 25, 1930.
deer mr, editor: ?
i have benn asked to rite up my
2 bcegle dogs who arisers to the
name of nelly arul rover and which
was imported from ohio about 4 yr.
iigo, and as tiiey have alreddy won
some prizes at the fair, I feci that
it is my duty to do ho onner count;
of them being the best dogs in the
country, j
nelly can out run rover when alio
is after # rabbit but rover dan out
run nelly when he is after a fox and
visa versa, one time the former was
running a fox arid the latter wus
running a rabbit and rover was going
so fast that he batted his eye
and run past the fox and diddent
know it for d days when he was
found 11 hundred 45 miles from
home,
but nelly ketolled the rabbit and
saved him for rover when he got
back home and then went ami ketchod
the fox that rover run over when
he batted his eye and she waid 15
pounds and i sold her hide for >1$
and t-45 in cash ut the atoar and the
man sod that was all it was worth
onner count of she bit her thru the
skin and later on, he sold the same
hide for 11$ in cash, so he beat me
out of the difference.
a grate manny people have wanted
to buy nelly and rover but monney
don't mean nothing to mo when it
is rattled at me for them 2 dogs,
but i have a few of-their off springs
for sail and who ever wants 1 of
them for 2$ can have the same by
calling at my house betwixt sun
down and dark on saddays for same,
but i havo decided to keep my imported
dogs as they give me something
to brag about snice the old
lady quit working so hard.
when it comes to training dogs
ansoforth, i know my chitterlings,
i have teached nelly und rover not
to smell a rabbit and a fox at the
same time, and when i say sickem
rover, he makes a dive for the fox
and when i say sickem nelly she
lights out after the rabbit, and one
can ketch the other about as quick
as the tutheT and they always bring
both of them back to me for home
use. i will be to show the Bed
dogs to anny add miring friends of
good dogs, so just rite or foam when
to expect you.
yores trulie,

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.
None Blowcd .15 <,
Kyebrows Trimmed 10
Kyelashes Groomed . .16

Hair Singed 26
Bnoe Massaged 35
Lips Painted 25
Face Steamed 15
Kara Washed /. . .10
Shoes Shined . .10
Tip 10
$4.45
N. B. The barber added the bill
up himself and took a check for
it, therefore?I am not yet able to
tell you just exactly how much he
lost.
Mike Has a Visitor

Man Had Terrifying
Snake Experience
% Little Tee Dee has been the fisherman's
paradise this summer, and
many are the snake stories which
have been brought back home by the
disciples of Isaac Walton, but the
most thrilling snake story of the season
has just come to light.
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.
