Ye Snooper’s Column Things About Nyssa’s Shops Whist ye that the President of these United States didst pay us a visit on Monday. And whether we do see eye to eye politically with him or not yet did we all honor him as our President and verily the n\an has an infectious smile. We did like him mightily. Ye Snooper dids't walk amongst the crowds gathered here to see him and did see many familiar faces of friends who live on the new lands and who are adding every day to Nyssa’s growth and prosper ity. We do wish we might see more of them. Also didst see upon Via de lv Presldente many of our towns women in new and smart autumn costumes. Hats and shoes and new fall gowns. Also did stop in a moment to chat with "Butch” at the Nyssa Packing Company and did learn from him that there had been much and spec ial is made in his freezoriuum that the Great Man's train might be re stocked. Also there did learn that lamb is now at its best and Butch doest carry a fine supply of skinned woolies. Then didst amble into Mr. Barney Wilscn grocery to see what new green vegetables were keeping fresh and fit under the water sprayer there and did find many toothsome ones. But especially nice the lettuce was, and we thought how gay a salad of it wouldst look with some grated carrots in a prepared dress ing. These coldish days do make ones thoughts turn to Christmas and do warn one of the few shopping days left. Once more ye Snooper warns you to start early. For already there CLASSIFIED ADS be things that ya will want later, when thy purse has been purged cf its oontents.

Dids't step into The Cash Grocery to welcome its smiling manager Jimmy Daelhausen back and he did lead me to a stand all filled with sweetcakes, wrapped in cellophane.

I say un'.o you slstem, send him to see Mr. Miner at his tonsorial parlors and he will return unto thee fresh- ’ned and trim as on thy nuptial day and thou mayest present him to thy family again without apology. Do they feet hurt thee and doest pi reliance thy stride does resemble a duck. It may be so that thy heels are run over and thy soles have worn thin. Seek ye out the Nyssa Shoe Shop and there they will return them to thee as good as new. Dids't have you arise in the cold gray dawn and fire up the old range and lose thy sweet temper when the heathenish thing did sputter and smoke and thou dids’t look forward to a long, long winter of such morn ings, and the soot to clean ‘n’ every thing.
