Evening Republican, Volume 19, Number 266, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 9 November 1915 — Wanted a Receipt. [ARTICLE]

Wanted a Receipt.

Blackstone is a lawyer of the old school and has a well-deserved reputation for good heartedness that keeps him poor. He was recently imposed upon by the town’s most successful miser, one Scroggins, who placed troublesome legal work in his hands. As the time came for settlement Scroggins hemmed and hawed and manifested all the symptoms of being in acute pain over having to pay a Just debt. The lawyer’s sunny good nature again asserted Itself. "I won’t charge you anything for my services," he said. Scroggins peered sharply through his bushy eyebrows. “Well, I’d like to have a receipt, anyhow," he snarled. A new automobile wind shield is divided in half so that one section can be swung down to lessen the air resistence when but a single person la using a car.
