Kn-CAA, (rvOiiM W&4 tc LEXINGTON GROWS WITHOUT WATCHING EXINGTON WHEATF VOL. II LEXINGTON, OREGON, THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 27, 190G NO. 1 CHAFF FIOM THE STRAW STACK The offender never pardons. He that ventures not falls not Hear both sides and believe little Time Is money but we prefer the money. A debt always grows bigger the more you contract It. He who is guilty believes that all men speak 111 of him. Pay your subscription promptly and make the printer smile. The man who flirts with the hired girl has a domestic taste. Never judge a man's honesty by his collection of umbrellas. Cold travels slower than heat, be cause any one can catch It. The multiplication table is the old est piece of furniture in the world. A dog biting his tail Is like a good financier. He makes both ends meet. A married woman of Texas shot off her tongue.. Some men play in great luck. 1 Mile posts are the most unsociable things in the world, you never see two of them together. A goose puts its head under water for divers purposes and brings it out again for sundry purposes. The best way tor a man to get rid of mosquitos Is to wear high shoes and buy his wife a half dozen nice open work shirt waists. Two young ladles kissing each other are like an emblem of Christianity, they are doing unto each other as they would men should do unto them. We were recently asked "what Is the most dangerous time to visit the country?" When the bull-rushes out, the cow slips about and the little sprigs are shooting all around. A Kansas man fed his chickens dog biscuits and the roosters growl every time he goes near them, chase cats up trees and keep the whole neighbor hood awake nights with their barking. An exchange gets off the following: 'If men are the salt of the earth, women are undoubtedly the sugar. Salt is a necessity, sugar a luxury. Vicious men are saltpeter; stern m.en are rock salt; nice men are table salt. Old maids are brown sugar; good na tured matrons are loaf sugar; pretty girls are the fine pulverized sugar." Pass the pulverized sugar please. An editor who attended church once has the following to say; The sermon was a good sermon as sermons go. We enjoyed the singing and stood up with the brothers and sisters while they sang the good hymn, "Shall we know each other there." While the hymn was being sung we looked about us and counted a dozen members of the congregation and of the church who do not speak to each other when they meet on the streets or elsewhere The thought occured to ys, why should they know eaeh other there when thy seemingly do not know each other here." ; A subscriber once got a dun through the postoffice and It made him mad, says an exchange. He ' went to the editor about It and the editor showed him some of his own, one for paper, one for coal, others for Wood, groceries mill feed, flour, dry goods, milk, bread ank several others. ' "Now," said the patient editor, "I didn't get mad when these came because I knew all I had to do was to ask several, reliable men like you to come in and help me out, and then I could settle all of them." When the subscriber saw how it was he relented and renewed. Moral: Never get vexed when asked to pay what you owe, for the other fellow may need the money.
