Of the Lazytown Local News Gander Creek is slowly rising since the rains, and Poke Eazley, who has been on a cted fishing spree, has had to get up and move back twice already. 3 Atlas Peck thinks, if he was running a store, he would buy things in carload lots, so that he could get more of them. Since discovering that he sleeps with his feet to the north, Sim Flinders has put an- ether pillow under his head. Washington Hocks has ordered a gallon of Bat Smith's Moonlight Reel licker, which he will use subject to the action of the Democratic primary. The Tickville Opera House is being deaned up for the next show, which is to be ‘‘Lena Rivers,"’ and the orchestra will be requested not to stand up in front during the most interesting scenes. Fit Smith predicts a hard winter, since observing that the hair on the north side of the tin peddler’s horse is thickening up. The postmaster is having several loads of firewood hauled up to the post-office, as the mail carrier has to warm his feet during the winter months when he comes in every Thursday. Political Announcement—The depity con- stable, after lengthy consideration, has de- cided that he can best serve his country by announcing himself as a candidate for re- election to the office he now holds. He makes this announcement not from any sel- fish political greed, nor to display his abil- ity to come back, but he has been forced to do so by his many admiring constituents. At first he hooted and scoffed at the idea, like he would not for any price or for any other reason again occupy this important office; but his thousands of friends would not grow disheartened over his persistent refusal and ding-donged after him day and night, until he finally, through desperation, succumbed to their desires and authorized this announcement. While the election is nearly three years off, it will give him plenty time to mix among the voters of the several precincts. Between now and the election he hopes to find time to have a personal talk with each and every voter, and believes that he can convince them of the importance of his re-election. The voters are conversant with the past life of the depity constable. His career stands before them like an open book, upon the pages of which there are no fingerprints of distrust. The subject of this sketch is a self-made man, having grown from infancy to stalwart manhood without the assistance of anything or anybody. Step by step he has mounted the perpendicular ladder of Public esteem, and has twice commanded a half-column write-up in the Tickville Tid- ings. Give his claims your careful consid- eration before exercising your suffrage. —George Bingham. NABISCO Sugar Wafers | —entrancing sweets which are always and everywhere popular.
