CLARXsvILLE, Arkansas, Aug. Sd. 1914.
To Bob Snipes, Reporter TO tile Clay Club at Fay
eiierMe.
DEAR BoB:-lt grieves to think. that in all
probability this is the last time shall ever ad-
dress you, on political matters. The Locos have
held Convention, nominated their candidates.
and oil the other aspirants have Withdrawn, and
we are defeated in this county, certain. BY Or
der OF our worthy President, we met yesterday,
at tie club room, il was understood by ali that
the object Of the meeting was a dissolution of the
club.
"Oh Harry of the West,"I shall never forget
the solemn tread, and wo begone features of your
humble but devout followers, as they approached
the club room for the last time, the last to
enter. had been watching the manelvers of
the hateful Locos, and witnessing their iendish
smiles and significant mods as our friends passed bv
AT this time felt as truly chivarous as the
immortal Sal, and would rather have met every
Loco Editor in this State, in the Cherokee Nation,
than to witness the quiet disbandng of our forces
But chivalrc sensations were Of no avail, our fate
was sealed; and we must submit. When enter.
ed the club room every members face was masked
with his handkerchief. | took my seat, hid my
face, and prayed long and fervently to the app e.
rations of "Harry of the West," "Sabinus," and
"Sal,'' who were presenting themselves, in rapid
succession 10 my~fery vision, to do something for
our cause or we were gone Coons.
At length our worthy President rose, and with
tears in his eyes, informed that the object for
which the club had been formed, had proven sig.
nal failure, and that it would be useless for us
even to meet again. At this moment cast my
eyes round the room, and believe there was not
dry eye present, except my own, for my part |
was so hot | do not beevs | had single drop
of moisture to spare in my whole frame, and hot
as the weather is, have not rerspred drop since
our President closed his remarks, by saying if
any member had anything to say he would be
pleased to hear it, as this was the closing scene
Renovator rose and observed that Pol had Just got
back from Old Kentucky, and as he was present
he hoped he would say something of our prospects
in that noble state. Pol rose, and said he had no
good news; that he believed Butler would be cleo.
ted, and all the chance 10 escape disgrace, was to
say that his personal popularity would out run ony
question.
Several of our orators had intended to speak to
day. but this news was too bad, mo one could
be expected to speak when be had so little en-
Encouragement; no one could dare todacc The people

The time fixed by the supreme government in

with well founded Indignation the perfdy of the

public whose generous conduc, towards them they
mlsunder stood, in relation TO a question in which
they were though, to be acting with good faith.
They have abused the confidence of the Republic
by violating the conditions of the armstice re.
tho 4th article of said armisice, should have re.
paired to the city of Mexico. in order to regulate
our differences so far as their propositions migh,
be admissible. His exceency the President, con-
v'nced that the honor and dignity of the nation
require the chasisemcnt of conduct so little

resolution, so that il may be well understood, tha
1t Is not through timidity or want of power, bu,
because his exceency has always listened to the
voice OF humanity, that hoStlIrities were not re.
commenced at the perrol fixed by the armisice.
Notwithstanding my regret in thinking that
blood Is once more about to flow, yet, in transmit
ting TO you the declaration of the President | en-
Joy the satisfaction TO find tina, justice is on the side
of our cause, which rcposes on sacred and impre.
scrptibIe rights. In this we place our confidence,
as well as in the valor Of our troops. When the
struggle shall once more begin, the civilized world
will Judge between u.s. and the fortune of war can.

FAITHLESS NELLY GRAY.

BY TO II 1901
Ben Battle was soldier old,
And used to wars alarms;
But a cannpn-bal took off his legs,
So he, laid down his arms.
Now, as they bore him off the field,
Said he, let others shoot,
For here leave my second leg,
And the Forty-second foot -
The army surgeon made him limbs
Said he. "They're only pegs,
But there's as wooden members quite
As represent my legs
Now Ben he loved pretty maid,
Her name was Nelly Gray;
So he went to pay her his devoir,,
When he'd devoured his pay.
But when he called on Nelly Gray,
She made him quite a scott;
And whom she saw his wooden legs,
Began to take them off!
80, Nelly Gray! o. Nelly Gray!
Is this your love so warm?
The love that loves sea rlet coat.
Should be more uniform"
Said she, " loved soldier once,
For he was blithe and brave;
But | will never have a man,
With both legs in the gravel"
"Before you had these timber toes,
You love did allow;
But then, you know, you stand upon
Another footing now!
40, Nelly Gray! o, Nelly Gray!
For all your jeering speeches,
At duty's call, | left my legs
In Badajoa's breeches ~
"Why then," said she, "you've lost the fee
Of legs in wars alarms;
And now you cannot wear your shoes
Upon your feats Of aru.s!'
80, false and tickle Nelly Gray!
know why you refuse;
Though I've no feet, some other man
Is standing in my shoes.
81 wish ne'er had seen your face;
But now, long farewell
For you will be my death--alas
You will not be my NELL"
Now when he went from Nelly Gray,
- His heart so heavy got,
And life was such burden grown,
1t made him take knot
So round his melancholy neck,
A rope he did eutwine;
And for the second time in life,
Enlisted in the Line!
One end he tied around the beam,
And then removed his pegs; .-.-
And, as his legs wore off, of course,
He soon was off his legs!
And there he hung till he was dead
AS any nail in town.
For though distress had cut him up,
Ii could not cut him down!

10 Female Aiiens.--There is very prevalent
error eAtant, says tho New York Express. that
the naturalization Of father naturalzes the chill
dren under age. Nothing can haturalize a per-
son born abroad, except the compliance in pers0n
with the laws, and taking the necessary oath Of
intention or allegiance. Many female children
and widows, as well as males, have lost the inher
'tence oftheir parents by this orror. Females
as well as males mus, be naturaized before thev
can hold real estate. and we would advise all who
wish TO secure property to take the necessary steps
at once.
