It should have read "One sewing machine for sale cheap. Phone 948- 0707 and ask for Mrs. Kelly, who lives with him after 7 P.M." WEDNESDAY Notice: R.D. Jones has informed us that he has received several annoying telephone calls because of the error we made in the classified ad yesterday. The ad stands correct as follows: "For sale -- R.D. Jones has one sewing machine for sale. Cheap. Phone 948-0707 after 7 P.M. and ask for Mrs. Kelly who loves with him." THURSDAY Notice: I, R.D. Jones, have no sewing machine for sale. I smashed it. Don't call 948-0707 as I have had the phone disconnected. I have not been carrying on with Mrs. Kelly. Until yesterday she was my housekeeper but she quit! ___________________________________________________ Reported by the Bausell Sailor  An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by  James Blight, 26, Haines City, Floriduh, USA 
 Florida man stole bulldozer, ran down Biden signs 
 A 26-year-old man has been accused of stealing a bulldozer from a Florida construction site, driving it into a neighborhood and knocking down campaign signs for Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, according to authorities and homeowners. The man took the bulldozer in Haines City on Saturday and repeatedly destroyed Biden signs in full view of people who live in the neighborhood, witnesses said. James Blight was charged with grand theft auto and trespassing, according to the Haines City Police Department. Former Vice Mayor Adam Burgess lives in the central Florida neighborhood, which he said is predominantly Black. He called it a hate crime. This man came onto my property, took the two Joe Biden signs I had in my yard and then came back with a bulldozer to run down my fence, Burgess told Bay News 9. Video taken by the news outlet showed the damaged fences. Blight was also accused of bulldozing down a city speed limit sign, among other signs. Police said Blight claimed he was too drunk at the time to remember what happened. It was not immediately clear whether he has an attorney who could comment on his behalf.

 A farmer, talking to a neighbor, is bragging about his favorite pig that he owns. He points the pig out to the neighbor. The neighbor said, "That pig only has three legs--He ain't worth a hoot." The farmer indignantly replied, "That pig saved my life! One day I was on my tractor plowing the field near a ditch when my tractor got too close to the ditch and turned on it's side trapping me below it with mud up to my nose. That pig burrowed under the tractor and got me by the back of my collar and dragged me to safety." "That's marvelous!" said the neighbor, "But what about the three legs?" "Oh, a prize pig like that, you just don't eat all at once!" replied the farmer. ____________________________________________ A woman was in court charged with wounding her husband.
