Out Of The Past

Broad Tire Tax Relief
It is not generally known that farmers who use broad tires are by a recent law entitled to a reduction of one-fourth their road tax. Broad-tired wagons are almost entirely out of use in this section. But the few who still use them should see that they get what the law allows.

Town Talk and Gossip
- Monday and Tuesday nights some dogs ran over Christian Yerger's hot bed and broke twenty-five panes of glass. Mr. Yerger has his gun loaded and the dogs of Yergerville would better keep out of his yard.
- Call on or address the Hon. John M. Stehman, if you wish to learn a thing or two about anti-discrimination of the new tax law. Mr. Stehman knows all about both and is anxious to enlighten his stupid constituents.
- Mr. Tshudy's wheelbarrow in some manner strayed away. Any one knowing its whereabouts and returning it will be treated to a good cigar or a glass of Tshundy's currant wine. No impertinent or disagreeable questions will be asked.

Wasn't that on Facebook
In the family of I.F. Bomberger is a spotless white cat, petted for her beauty and feline intelligence. Lately she has become still more noteworthy by taking charge of a brood of young chickens, which she nurses with motherly affection in a box, allowing no stranger to come near and being very jealous if any other cat makes her appearance. Should any of her family stray away from the box, she follows, takes it tenderly in her mouth and brings it home.
