FELIX t.RUNpY HUNT.

Z ;
Felix Grundy Hunt There, don't that look
well? A great many or our readers know
F. G4uady Hunt. Several of them love
him, and are truly sorry that be did not get
the 800 majority which he bowed and blub-
bered so much about They know ,hat his
/ face is fat and oily-in fact, little greasy.
Now, We happen to know whereof We AZ
firm, when we say his name was changed ia
youth. It was first G. F. Hunt, C.. Z.
meaning Greasy Faced) At the age Of
seven months this remarkable specimen Of
e" infantry cut his eye teeth, which cir
cumstance, happening at SO early period,
struck his parents with great delight, and
caused them to think that their infant was
going to make a remarkably smart man, and
they ought 10 change his name, and call il
after some distinguished individual. Ac-
cordingly, they JUST transposed the letters,
and called the child Felix G.undy, after a
gentleman ihat was formerly prominent as a
politician in The old North State.
'Gruady is an extremely bashful man and
it viii make him blush to see his name in
print, and edeh an important event in his
personal history brought to the light of the
world Perhaps We ought not 10 do 50 to
Felixgrundyhunt But Felixgrundyhunt
played such an important part in the recent
election in this county, that We think he
would feel sighted did we not give him a
passing notice, especially as he has announc-
ed his intention 10 become "a big State
/ politician, and quit fooling away his time
on litJls county affairs.
/ Felix Gruady hunt is ike the Indian tia,
was born at Cape Cod, Nantucket, aud all
along the Shore He came from NORTH
/ Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, ard all the
Southern States, and no place in The South
is mentioned but what Grundy-hunt has
been g thar or lharabouls," nolwithstand-
ing he didn't get three hundred majority for
4 Register of Deeds at the late election in this
county.
F. Grundy Hant is tanner, doctor,
(haying once read $1,000 pages. Of medical
works in three days. one hour and seven
and half minutos) a farmer, stock raiser,
and last, lawyer, (having written down
and committed to memory, with remarka-
BILE rapidity, all the questions which he knew
would be put to him on examination.
Felix Grundy Hunt, Esq, is a dislia-
guished individual, even if he didn't get
three hundred majority for Register Of
Deeds.
We believe Geundy came to this county
in 81, and settled in Pike township, where
he peddIad "gas . for the Inhabitants. aud
'run that township for several years. 10
80 he was a candidate for Register Of Deeds
and was defeated, after which he left Pike
in disgust and came to this vicinity While
he lived in Pike. it was his modest opinion
that he run the county, and that no man
could get an Office without his immense IN
nuence. Since he came here be has not only
run this county, but those surrounding.
In 1861, Felix Grundy was elected Reg
lister Of Deeds, which was brought about
By the opposition to him being divided be
tween two other candidates.
Butitwas left for this fall Tor Felix Gum
dy to distinguish himself more than ever
He sold oul or deceived almost every one
who had been his friend, ny slippery a0d
. dishonest course. He was for every man
on the track for tie different Offices, in their
presence, and when their backs were turn
ed he was against them. To our face, he
was our friend up to Sunday. two days be-
fore the election. and at the same time he had
been electioneeriug against us FOR weeks
I Sunday night he went into a little, dirty Sc
cret caucus, the object of which was to de
feat the writer and other gentlemen to whom
he had promised his support Monday aud
Tuesday he electioneered for the ticket oil
that caucus. This course he took without
any cause or offeuse from Us, OF the other
I gentlemen whom he deceived. They cared
not for Lis opposition, but his dishoDesty.
They know you, Gfuudy. You ere found
out. Perhaps you are played out. That's
the general opinion, at least. Grundy im
AGNES himself second TLuFlow Weed
He was very noisy during the canvass, aud
blowed all over the county that he was go
ing 70 beat his opponent 800 votes-thaf
there wasn't a mau in Lyon county TIA
could beat him. Then he heard from En-
poria, Fremont, Waterloo, and Americas
Then he ripped and swore. He slipped VI
