Democratic Sentinel, Volume 2, Number 13, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 10 May 1878 — A Ghost. [ARTICLE]

A Ghost.

A man saw a ghost while walking along a lonely highway at midnight. The ghost stood exactly in the middle of the road, and the wayfarer, deciding to investigate, poked at it with his umbrella. The next instant he was knocked twenty feet into a mud-hole. Moral — Never poke an umbrella at a large white mule when its back is turned. Don’t Forget that the country is full of tramps and thieves, and that you ought to be provided with a weapon of defense. See advertisement in another coimnn beaded ' Pon’t Fobget It.’’
