"The only ones who paid any thing would have paid anyway, without me running the ad," he said. No Comment Ciuiad J. L. Reeves, associate editor of the country newspaper, said the ad hadn't even caused any comment In this rugged moun tain town. "Everybody likes Dr. Bram lett and Is sorry that he's sick," Reeves said.

That's the way he tries to collect his bills." Skunk Catching Offer I Brings Few Takers ' Paris.
