A Slur on “Nubbin Ridge.”

Morocco Courier. Rensselaer is probably the best show town in Indiana. The Nubbin Ridgers north of the city will sell their cows or cook stoves in order to raise' tne wherewith to attend the “carcus.” The entire “fambly” will arrive in town an hour before daylight, so that no bum feature of the great “consolidated” may escape their vision. They will drink red lemonade until their paunches shade the sward like a green bay tree; the young man with the pink shirt and rainbow tie will clasp glad hands with the girl in yaller basque and number eleven shoes and they will chaw cream candy in a loud, boisterous manner, stare the hyena clean out of countenance, and when the clown cracks one of his hoary jokes, they will yaw, yaw fit to bust.
