VEUSE FROM A ALLi1
NEW DEPARTURE BY THE EDITOR
OF THE BILLVILLE BANNER.
Being Short of Mem He Prints a Few of
the Epitaphs Scattered Aroand His
New Sanctum—Mauy of Them Point a
Moral For His Subscribers.
For ten years we have been endeavor
ing to purchase a lot whereon to erect a
building for the Billville Banner, but
until recently, when prosperity struck
us and took up its abode in our midst,
we were unable to do so. Yesterday the
old oemetery was sold at auction, and
we bid it in for $7. We are now mov
ing The Banner into one of the most
commodious vaults it contains, and we
are as cheerful as we can be under the
circumstances. We don't believe in
ghosts. Many of the dead in the con
fines of our new purchase were ancient
bill collectors, and they got 60 tired
running after us that they were glad to
•est, and we feel that they need all the
vest they can get
As news items were short this week,
we oontented ourselves with copying a
lew of the many epitaphs scattered
•round UB. It's true they are now in the
•lass with the dead matter, but we still
think our readers will be interested in
them. Most of oar readers are dead
heads anyhow, so they won't take this
graveyard departure amiss. So here
goes:
BRIGHT FUTURE.
Beneath this plain pine board is lying
The body of Joshua Hight.
"Cheer up, the parson told him, dying
"Your future's very bright."
Slowly the sick man raised his head.
His weeping friends amazing.
"Parson, it's most too bright," he Bald,
"For I can see it blazing
I"
HE'S HAPPY NOW.
Samuel William Jenkins Stone
To glory went a-hummin.
He took hold of life's telephone
And hollered, "I'm a-oomin!"
ON WILLIAM BLIMM.
Beneath this stone in sleep profound
Lies Major William Blimm.
He put fire wives beneath the ground.
But the sixth one buried him.
She would not call him back again,
Being of strong endurance.
He left this weary world of pain
And also some insurance.
A DOUBLE STANDARD MAN.
For thirteen years a Democrat
As solid as could be,
And all the time for silver—
Sixteen to one and free!
He ran for office, but his wrath
On folks he never wreaked.
He'll never walk those golden streets
Unless they're silver streaked.
TROUBLE IN STORE FOR HTM.
Here Spottswood Jones is lying dead.
On earth he was a teacher.
"I'll meet three wives in heaven," he said,
"Lord help you I" said the pre«»»%er.
ON A FERTILIZER AGENT.
Six feet beneath
This funeral wreath
Is laid upon the shelf
One Jerry Jones,
Who dealt in bones,
And now he's bones himself.
ON HER FIRST HUSBAND.
Sleep, my husband, sleep away.
On another I may lean,
it I'll make him—every day-
Hoe your grave and keep It green.
A LIFE OFFICEHOLDER.
He's left this world of pain and strife
And reached the other side.
He hold an office all his life,
Resigning when he died.
ON MR. ROBER.
Here, where the bretiae the blossom
Lies Andrew Johnson Rober.
He sav the devil and great snakes.
Moral—Good folks, stay sober!
HIS LAST REQUEST
Dying, he said, "Don't weep for mo,
My darling wife—please don't."
She looked as smiling as could be
And said, "You bet I won't!"
ON A PARTY WHO WAS LYNCHED.
They lynched him on an old oak tree
That blossoms on the alope,
And then they made his family
Settle the bill for rope.
NOTE BY THE KDITOK.
The above are all we had time to copy
for this issue. Many of them point a
moral, for which we make no extra
eharge. All subscribers who die paid
up may expect the same consideration

taphs cheerfully. Subscribe now and

Temperance Commissioner.
The Courier took the stand when
this bill was introduced two years
ago that such an officer was un acces
sary and that the salary to be paid
the commissioner was simply a waste
of public money and was providing a
soft place for some favored individu
al. We have not changed our mind
since and believe that the next gover
nor should veto the bill if it passes
the next legislature. The people
have euough to pay for now without
creating au}* more unnecessary offices
at big salaries. We have a good law
on our statute books regulating
the prohibitory law and if the officers
of the law do their duty it can be
enforced. The proper thing to do is
to nominate and elect the right men
for state's attorney aud sheriff—men
who will do their duty aud pay no
attention to public sentiment. A
prohibition cotnmisioner would be
about as much use as three railroad
commisioners—and they are no use
at all—only to ride in palace cars
and draw a big salay —Griggs Couri
er.
The Bull Pup or the Boy?
If a man had a $50 bull pup he
would look it over oarofully and not
let it ruu around at night all over
towu. But if he has a boy it is differ
ent. He is turned loose at a tonder
age to go to the devil, and then peo
ple wonder where the great army of
tramps, bums, deadbeats. loafers,
drinkers, aud gamblers come from
each decaf e. They are germinated
from the pure seed, gathered from
our homes and sown broadcast upon
our streets and alleys. It may be
that our boy is making a growth in
that direction. At all events the boy
ought to be given equal showing
with the bull pup.— Ex.
