THE FOOL-KILLER,
Boomer, - - - - North Carolina.
Reduced Rates
Well, folksee, I have decided to
risk my chances on putting The Fool
Killer back to its old price. Print
paper is still costing me twice as
much as it did before the war; but
the general trend of prices is down
ward, and I want to give my readers
One benefit of aU possible redaction.
because I know times are hard and
money scarce.
So please tell everybody yon see
And send word to the rest that tbey
can now get The Fool-Killer again at
the old price 25 cents for a single
.uebcription, or 15 cents each in clubs
of five or more at one time.
r?ow please rush in the subs like
you did in the old days, and I'll do
my level best to keep 'em awake.
Let Us Talk It Over
Well, dear sinner friends, this is
ffhe Fool-Killer.
How does it set on your stomach?
If you like it you can get more at
headquarters.
The Fool-Killer is nob even a forty
'leventh cousin to any other paper on
aarth.
It stands in a class by itself, and its
field is as broad as the English
language.
This paper wears no bell, muzzle,
collar nor halter.
Yon can put that down to start with.
I am the fellow who works at the
pump-handle on this rag of reform.
I never travelled any to speak of,
but I have read a great deal, and
have thunk some.
And then I started The Fool-Killer,
just to quiet my nerves and to keep
the old press from getting rusty.
From the seclusion of these wooded
taills there will go forth each month
a bundle of literary dynamite that
will shake the rotten foundations of
-society and cause the church of
Mammon to at least turn over in its
sleep.
The Fool-Killer is a monthly mus
tard plaster fjr the blood-boils of
Society, Church and State.
It is written with a red-hot poker
diDoed in razor-soup.
It rides the devil a straddle without
saddle, and epurs him at every lope.
It is salted with wit, peppered with
humor, and seasoned with sarcasm.
Everv line cuts like a whip, and
every word raises a blister.
If you are a fool you had better not
subscribe tor Trie t ooi-KUier. it you
are wise you will, and that settles it.

THE FOOL-KILLER,
WHERE IS CAIN?"
Theologians generally have taught
that man is a trinity body, soul and
spirit and that , the soul and spirit
act and think independently of the
body, thus causing confusion in the
understanding of God's word.
A writpv wtTiosa nnmp is liTiTrnnwn i
, -
has composed the following lines
on the subject, which illustrate the
difficulties encountered bv those who
hold to the foregoing view:
Is man so great a mystery as the
ologians teach?
Possessing other entities the eye can
never reach
The outer man of dust was made, in
which they all agree,
And in this house there dwell a eoul
and spirit, making three.
By this arrangement, don't you see, a
triune man appears,
mysterious us me mree-one viuu vvuo '
centers everywhere;
For in the outer man there dwells the
I

mysuc man, me soui,
Iso a tLid, the spirit man, which !
maKes tne compact wnoie.
Soon, body man returns to dust, the
spirit man to God, .
The soul man down to hell is cast
to writhe in fire and blood;
A I

One Cain in dust , one Cain with God,
the other Cain in hell.
