Charles C.Fonts has in his possession a stray hitching post for which he is seeking the owner. How did he come by if? Why on last Sunday evening Oral Hoffman drove to the country to see his ootsy tootsy. after a safe landing, hitched his outfit to an ancient hitching post and while he was engaged in relating to his sweet Evalena his papered success, his bright prospects for which he had in store very fond hojies all backed up by a fine menu! scope the hitching post fell over which the charger proceeded to take home with the buggy,but on taking a near cut through John P. Stevies woods minus a guide, the vehicle became hooked among trees. The

animal then endeavored to continue the trip with the post and the shafts of the buggy when reaching the home of Mr. Foust the post became mixed up with a wire fence where the horse hung up for the night by which means Mr .Fonts became the custodian of the property mentioned also properly caring for the steed. It is needless to state that Oral in the blackness of the night found his way home on foot however, the light of hope not a bit improved, the early dawn next morning found Oral along the highway and hedges seeking the property lost and found as above stated, fie causalities being a br <1 en wheel and shafts, the horse receiving a few bruises.

Extended the Time. “Owing to the change being made in the gas line from the old to the new field all the consumers may expect a light shortage of gas for at least two weeks, which time it will take to make the change and to connect up the new wells to the line now being laid. As soon as the new line is laid and the wells connected we expect to give better service, by far than that given during the past two years. The com pany now has meters on hands it is urgently requested that all persons who expect to use gas this winter will leave their order for a meter at once so that the company may be able to make orders in advance to the manufacturers for what meters we may need for other consumers. We are p tying a bonus . to the manufacturers in order to get all meters to supply our patrons at ; once and it is very hard to get an order, for the demand on the manufacturers is so great that their cap acity is almost exhausted. All the gas companies located in the gas belt have been driven to the meter system in order to supply’ their customers. We being some 12 miles from the gas field are driven to force the gas such a long distance, requiring the best class of pumping machinery and from 800 to 1000 horse power steam to drive the great air pressure to supply our customers with gas that it entails an enormous expense. J. S. Bowers. Owing to the scarcity of meters and the slowness of the manufacturers to suj p'y our orders we have extended the time for consumers to supply themselves with meters until November Ist. After that date gas will be sold only to those people who have the meters This matter refers to consumers in Decatur, Monroe. Berne and all others along our line J. S. Bowers.
