tor an operation performed in Phil

The Tables Turned.
IViitro Hall Reporter.
"The Latest one on Snyder coun
ty is this: A fellow from the west
oud ridges, with his son Jakey,
started with tt load of railroad ties
for the station at Middleburgh, a
distance of 7 miles. On n telegraph
post uear the station was a collec
tor's poster, headed, in bi:; letters,
"Notice." Says the old man, "Ja
key, wot reads bit big letters n diii
polet" J.iUy se 'V; "No, (,,,,1
'AV. .i-i'"."Fl,. i,
dey don't wont no more tics mid
we'll jist turn ruiud an' haul 'in
home again," savs t lie old man. and
baek tlie.v hauled the ties."
We have thoroughly investigated
this matter and find that the man
above referred to moved to thin
county from Centre only ti few
weeks ago. He came from the
section known as "Dumheit !nii-h
Valley." After residing iu Snyder
County for a short time the family
will no doubt become thoroughly
civilized and the education of this
man and his son .lakey be brought
to the high standard so well main
tained Here, aim wtiere ignorance
and desperadoism are unknown.
