STRAY STREAKS
(By Fluko McFIuko.)
They havo shortened our flour ra
tions so that wo now get Just about
enough to ninko old fashioned thick
ened gravy, that Is, wo would havo,
it wo had something to greaso tho
grnvy.
Hat Nail has been troubled with
had feet lately (and so havo those
who have been forced to associate
with him) and whllo tho examining
physicians did not use a magnifying
glass or tho Xray, ho said It was no
troublo to tell that said feet needed
nothing moro than concentrated lyo,
water and brisk rubbing.
, "Wo saw a llttlo "nigger" near the
bakery tho other ovenlng with a hunk
of old time boforo-tho-war Jelly cake
ns big as Dob Walker's foot (no, not
both, just one of them) and If we'd
a haM that nigger out In some lone
somo spot we'd a had that cake or
murdered him on tho spot.
John Henry boosted tho road work
ing proposition sky-high, got every
fellow possible in a big way to give
a day's labor, last Friday, and, true
to our prediction, Thomas hit it for
Louisville, leaving tho office and
work in such shape that Fluko could
not even get off to work the road,
ns he patriotically wished to do.
Tho author, or perpetrator of this
column and I. D. Clair were at dag
ger? points for several days, duo to
Jealousy. One patron of the paper
dropped Into tho lulut and sa'.d bo
believed that ho liked "Scray Streaks
Just a llttlo bit better than ho did
Beads Oddly Strung. Another fel
low, whose opinion I don't care much
for, said he thought Beads Oddly
Strung was not quite as rotten is
Stray Streaks. Then the war broke
out "over here" 'twixt Declalr and
yours truly, as to who was the most
popular author, as to whose stuff was
the most widely read, and as to which
column induced tho greater number
of subscribers to drop their dollars
into the concern's coffers. The row
was in Its height when along camo
a third, unappreclatlvo, sort of a
chronic growling, soro headed sub
scriber who said ho thought It a
durn sinful shamo that tho Board of
Directors would permit such blamed
rot to run In tho paper as that under
tho names of I. D. Clair and Fluko
McFluRo, and that he was going to
withdraw his support of 30 years
standing, If the two columns wore
not cut out. Tho self-lmnglned writ
ers of great and glorious squibs then
quit their scrapping, started talking
the matter over through tho open
door, each from his own apartment
and nro now living haplly together,
tho laying with blackjacks for tho
unapprcciatlve, thick headed and
bellyaching subscriber. Thus mur
der was prevented, and this story
ends.
Everything In this column is orig
inal, new and true, if not otherwise.
SULIMIUH SPRINGS.
Crops nro needing rain. Some
fnrmors are done planting corn, but
tho wire worms are doing great dam
age to that planted.
Wheat harvest Is over and clover
cutting Is In progress.
A few girls arc donning overalls,
and taking their places In tho fields,
and doing tho work of men. This
good work Just begun should bo fol
lowed by other girls to help make a
bumper crop. When, tho boys get
back from France they will bo want
ing wives, and if they are wlso as I
think they aro they will be looking
for the girls that helped feed them
whllo they were fighting for their
country. A word to the wise is suf
ficient. The editor of tho Republican start
ed in last week to tell what he didn't
know but soon discovered it was too
big a Job and quit. No, John H.,
don't undertake it. Life Is too short
and paper too high.
Mrs. A. A. Murphy and three chlld
Yen, of Illinois, are visiting relatives,
Mr. Murphy may follow soon. It
tho prospects look good Mr. Murphy
may locate here again, for like most
other people who leave Ohio county
they aro never satisfied till they come
back.

The Consumer's

When the producer gets high

sarily be larger.

Cook's father 91.
Tho residence next door to mine
was sold last week, and Tlnsley was
mean enough to say it will sell fre
quently unless I move.
I know a man In this town who has
nine quarts of "Old Joo Taylor"
whisky, and ho Is that dad dratted
stingy ho wouldn't glvo mo and Lon
Ralph and Judge Cook a drink after
we went out and helped him thrash
his wheat.
The street corner yarn wheel is
spinning some this week. Steve May
Is at home.
Tlnsley let It git out that It Ike
Mason was elected to congress he was
to bo Ike's privnto secretary, and its
losln' Ike a sight of votes.
Wo haven't scon Battle Nail for
several days. Guess ho is hidln' out
from tho mako'm work commissioner.
I can give the Hayti boys a clean
bill of health about workin. I pass
ed through there Monday and there
wasn't a mother's son of them to be
seen. But they might a bin loafln'
In the back yards.
There's enough gasoline wasted in
runnin' round in automobiles, grub
fed to worthless dogs and time lost in
discussin the war to feed Pcrshin's
army.
I ain't uneasy about the future
defense of the country. If the war
lasts a few years longer we will have I
an army of old mald3, big" enough to i
whip the world.

They say there Is only a thin line j
between genius and insanity, and
after readin Stray Streaks I'll bo
hanged if I can tell which side that
thin line Tlnsley is on.
