Milt G. Barlow, who is with the "Down in Dixie" company, was standing at a railroad station talking to one of the pickaninny band. "Rastus, suppose you, your mother and a watermelon, were in a boatnot a little watermelon but a great big one, the first one of the seasonand the boat was to upset. Which would you save first, your mother or the watermelon?" Rastus grinned and replied: "Massa Barlow, I'd save my mammy first," cause I knows dat the watermelon'd float." S. G.

Crawford for $103 due them for husking corn. The boys had a- greed, it appears, to take a team of horses, harness, and wagon for husking 4,000 bushels of corn, but claim to have found out afterward that the team was worth a great deal less than what they were to pay, hence the suit.

When Yon Want. An 'Up to date' Hair-cut, or a Smooth Shave, go to the STAR BARBER SHOP F. A. TRIPP, PROPR. A man from town was kicked off the premises of a farmer southeast of town one day this week for hunting thereon without permission and in spite of the fact that trespass notices were tacked up conspicuously.

D. W. Becker of the Commercial restaurant had a fat goose which was the apple of his eye. He had raised it himself, and had taken good care that it was brought up in the way a goose should go; for the last three months he had been fattening it for Thanksgiving, and on Wednesday evening he brought it in from the farm in joyous anticipation of a glorious roast the next day. While he slept the sleep of the just that night, some doubly dyed villian lifted that goose and in triumph bore it away.

Instead of roast goose, Dan had to content himself with plain chicken which is fit only for preachers. LATER: The goose came back. (Cause he couldn't stay away.).
