IN JAIL.

Ruel Taylor the greatest sheriff that this county or any other coun(ty ever had, furnished us with the nicest fat turkey that money could buy, with all the good dressings, cranberry sauce, pies, and many other good things to numerous to mention. And each and every one was filled to the brim. And after dinner We were all treated with a large box of fat juicy cigars by Mr.

Walter Rambo. And we are all thankful that this county can produce such good thoughtful and respectable men as these, and we think such men as these should be kept in office. Not that we expect to be here always, but that some other unfortunate man or woman may take our place and we feel assured that they well not be forgotten by such noble men as Mr. Taylor and Mr. Rambo.

Here we all come with our heart filled with thanks."

Gentle Reader, before you wade into the inner depths of this week's COLD JERSEY 'WILL Buck would Shot have Border understand Philosophy, that CERTAINLY PULL you US OUT OF THE "Yours Truly" is well aware of the HOLE fact that it was the Divine Plan that all us Mortals here below should possess at least one "crazy spot." "Then, are there no perfectly balanced human you ask. That's exactly what mean. For further proof of the truth of this statement, analyze your intimate acquaintances one by one. In every case you can put your finger, so to speak, on their "daffy spot." On the other hand your neighbor can with the same degree of certainty "spot yours." "Yours Truly" being decidedly human is no exception to the rule, and no doubt ali will agree that his crazy spot is "Prunes." Well, if prunes it is, prunes it must be, so I can proceed to talk about the Cream Business, and the possibilities of building up an industry in this section of the country that will put ready cash in our pockets fifty-two weeks in the year. say, I can.

with some degree of satisfaction, talk of the Cream Business without every "wind-jammer" advancing the assertion that "Yours Truly" is "Cream Crazy' and expects North Second Avenue to shortly eclipse "The milky way." Although our Station has been in operation less than two months. we are now paying out for Cream from $25.00 to $100.00 per day. President Bennett of the Southeastern State Normal said' "I predict that within five years your Cream Station will equal in volume your "Prune Shop." Also the Judges in the Better Cities Contest visited and inspected our Cream Station and pronounced it the "niftiest" little Cream Station they ever saw. 'Twas well we remembered the statement of the old Colored Preacher "Half-way doin's ain't no 'count in dis world nor de next." You mas rest assured there's no half -way doings around our Cream Station. Mr.

Rhoades has been in the cream game over twenty years. You got fair test, you get an accurate test. you got paid for every ounce of butter-fat. To got all the butter fat, got a Delaval Cream Separator. Sold on easy monthly pi ments, year to pay.

Will pay for itsolf in haif that time and have money left. Like a Burroughs Adding Machine or a Remington Shot Gun the DeLaval Separator is the leader in its line, the closest skimmer in the world. We will be more than glad to let you have one on trial, you to be the judge, we will not bore you to buy, but will let the machine speak for itself. Mr. W.

B. Hutton, five miles north of Durant bought a DeLaval from us and is producing as fine cream as ever saw. We sold Mr. R. B.

Beal three miles West a DoLaval. he said "First week I doubled 113 cream check." Mr. J. E. Kennedy Route Three bought a DeLaval from us little over it work ago and is most to death' over the prospects of independence for his old age.

Mr. Ben Brown our popular ex-dry goods man walked into our store last Saturday and said. "Give me a DeLaval Separator please." Just as much unconcerned as if he had said "Give me a dimes worth of Star Tobacco please." Our first five machines sold in a jiff, five more unloaded Tuesday. If you want one of these on trial come in and speak for one. Yours Truly I Prune Peddler..
