Cynthiana Democrat 25 Aug 1910 Thursday Vol. 62 No. 48 6 Pages Pg. 4 Col. 8 Pointed paragraphs Too many writers use words larger than their ideas. A cheap man and a cheap automobile make a lot of noise. No man is as important as his wife would like to think he is. Before you boast of your ancestors hide the family photograph album. The man who quits smoking has more money to spend on his other habits. If you would make a lasting impression on a woman try to suppress her. A girl doesn't really enjoy reading a poem to a man unless he is holding her hand. The average woman's idea of an honest grocer is one who attends the same church she does. What doth it profit a man to pray for the heathen if he isn't on speaking terms with his neighbor? A cow in Kentucky died after eating a lot of green tobacco. That's what a cow gets for not learning to use the spittoon. A woman may be able to do her own housework, but she always has to get some other woman to help her keep a secret. Two million dollars' worth of buggy whips were manufactured in this country during the last year, even if the automobile is here to stay. And a girl who wants to marry is foolish to appear more intelligent than the man she is trying to hypnotize into paying her board for life. - Chicago News.

Cynthiana Democrat 25 Aug 1910 Thursday Vol. 62 No. 48 6 Pages Pg. 6 Col. 3 Sunflower philosophy Why shake hands so much? You don't care for it and other people don't. Half the brothers in the world would fight if it wasn't for respect for their mothers. Found in a letter: People know only one way to make money, and that is to get yours.
