Show BIG SNOW STORM -AFTERSH0VELS The snow storm is over and what few Republicans there are left are busy with snow shovels, trying to get the;r roads open so they can be traveled. trav-eled. Once in a while there is a Democrat doing a little shovel work one in particular is C. C. Sloan. He has quite a job ahead of him Before his path is clean. Early Monday morning H. T. Hanks was seen making the rounds of all the stores hunting for a snow shovel and the best he could find was a fire shovel and a potato fork. The merchants told him that Jameson, Woodbury and Frank Smith had taken tak-en up the supply, but that orders had been sent to Minersville for more. Later it was learned that Herb Eyre had cornered the supply at that point There was no use in sending to Bea ver as Dewey Bakes had hunted that part of the county over and' all he could find was some second-hand shovels, badly worn, which the Democrats Dem-ocrats had used two years ago. George Jefferson, county chairman was supposed to have ordered a supply sup-ply sometime ago, but he had failed to do so. He had been warned by the Union boys two or three weeks ago that there was a storm coming and only about ten days ago the Farm Bureau sent out storm flags, but he failed to place the order in time. Other county chairmen beat 'him to it, and when his order got in the supply was exhausted. A new supply will be needed for Vvo years from now, as these now being used will be worn out. We hope it will be the Democrats who will have to use them, but it might be well for the Republican chairmen to have a supply on hand |
