see:
Gov. Jones Of Tennessee, once a Clay
Wing, was here some time ago. when he made
a rather humorous remark. Speaking of his
having come on here, he said he had made u
small investmcntin the democratic party some
time ago, and had come ON To get his dividend
but he found, unfortunately for him, that the
whole concern had bursted up before the first
dividend was declared
