SOME THINGS WE HEAR AND SEE (Contributed) Tho fellow that won't clear his walk of snow, don't need any news paper advertising. He gets his name mentioned real often. There are some properly owners who should shovel the dirt from their walks. You can't grow good spuds on concrete nohow. A woman, who is very popular, made this remark: Oh, dear; I think I shall movo to tho country. When I entertain, I have so many good things, and then it's beans for such n long while. (Moral) Remember, Uncle Sum can use those beans. We know of several business houses that could use a carpenter to cut win dows ill some parts of their stores. They tied a can to the public drinking run. Mr. Editor, insert this just beneath Doan's Kidney Pills. You will be sur prised to see how much it will help that advertisement. I thank you in advance.
