Mr. J. E. Rosebrough, of Batesville,
is thinking of running for mayor
of his city, and in making mention
of the fact, the Guard says, in part:
“So far there has been no intimation
of other candidates in this race, and
in all probability he will receive the
nomination if he enVers without any
opposition.”
Which is all very true, very true.
But we know Mr. Rosebrough and
would love to lay a bet that he would
run a pretty good race even with op
position.
No, Rachael, that wasn’t shrapnel
you saw falling yesterday. ’Twas
only ice crashing to earth in tiny bits
and sheets from the electric wires
where it became overheated by the
day current.

Passing up Front street yesterday
afternoon we saw a man surrounded
by a small audience and heard him
make this truthful remark: “If a
man has a business he must adver
tise it.” Whereupon we closed a
life-time contract with him to book a
lecture tour of Newport’s business
district.
—o—
And lest you, Rachael, should think
differently. That bombing you heard
on the river front yesterday morning
was not a German attack upon our
munitions plants. Merely a few men
dynamiting the river in order to re
move ice from around saw logs and
some small craft.

Mrs. Nutt and our charming and
handsome son, Adam Nutt, and
daughter, Ima Nutt, left last night
for another state to visit her rela
tives. Mrs. Nutt intimated that the
procedure might be a prelude to
something more permanent and sub
stantial. But as we never question
Mrs. Nutt, we cannot know what she
meant.
We have a widespread feeling that
persons ought to chop the ice from
their door steps or let us know when
to put on skates and a cushion.

We are one of the most forbear
ing animals you ever saw, and we’ve
stood a lot in our time, being mar
ried. We’ve held our temper on
many occasions when others would
have gone into a rage and gotten
hurt, and we’ve run away and left
trouble unmolested lots of times.
But we serve notice right here and
now that the next fellow who sug
gests that the “Tag Your Shovel
Day” campaign should be extended
to this colyum is going to lose our
•speaking acquaintance.
—o—
We’ve decided to enlarge the Nutt
family. To-wit: All persons- desir
ing to do so may have the opportun
ity to contribute to this colyum.
Each nutt is limited to one nutt, and
the first nutt that provokes a smile
will be given a nice, useful present.
The boss has asked that contributions
be different from what has been fill
ing this colyum. He wants some
thing original, funny.
All jokes aside—it is refreshing to
witness the pride a young father
takes in his baby’s first utterance of
“Da-da.”
Mrs. T. L. Gardner returned to her

MAILS LETTERS
TO DRAFTED MEN
IN CLASS NO. ONE
Joe L. Bevens, chairman of the
Jackson county chapter of Red Cross,
has mailed a letter to each of the
men of the county who is in Class
No. 1 of the draft, in which is con
tained valuable suggestions relative
to the advisability of the drafted men J
taking early advantage of the War
Insurance Law and Compensation
Act. The letter points out that the
government provides that where there
are dependents, the enlisttd man shall
contribute up to one-half his pay, or
$15, per month for their support, and
to this amount the government will,
upon application, add an allowance
of from $5 to $50 per month accord
ing to the size of the family.
In order to fully protect each per
son and family this law also provides
that every soldier, sailor or nurse
may take out life and disability in
surance up to $10,000 at a very low
cost, payments for same to be
monthly, and which may be deducted
from a man’s pay, thus eliminating
trouble on his part.
