Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 22, Number 98, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 27 August 1901 — Monticello is After the Spitters. [ARTICLE]

Monticello is After the Spitters.

Monticello town dads are getting real cross, almost as bad as stepdads. They have even passed an ordinance prohibiting spitting on the side-walks under penalties of $2 to $lO fine, The tobacco chewers there will have to adopt a custom already quite prevalent among the members of that elegant fraternity, here. Namely, squirt thei£ juice on windows and doors of business houses. The trailing garments of the ladies also furnish a pretty good mark, when not close reefed by the left hand, as it grasps the tiller, as is the commendible custom now days. y
