We see by the DePhi Times, that the
name Of b. B. Daily Esq, is mentioned as
probable candidate for the State Senator

make a good race. He is not unknown
TO the public and if elected would WELD an

day last week, when little boy passed
along beating on an Old tin pail, soaring
the animal and causing him to break loose

street to the corner opposite Mr.. Reeves
residence and then made a turn towards
the river coming near which he made a
short turn into an alley upsetting and break
ing the buggy in pieces. This hammering

not have one this fall F! We see nc
reason why the young gentlemen OF

have as gallant and chivalric young
men in this county as any in the
State; veterans in scrvice-sOldicrS
who distinguished themselves on
many hard and bloody battle field,
whose deeds Of chivalry and noble
darling, had they lived and fought in
the times Of the crusaders, would
have won them the highest knigltly
honors. We say, let us have a tour
nament, where the gallant survivors
of the late terrible struggle can meet
i'll rivalry Of knightly sport. Would
some Of our beauties like to weave
CROWNS for the victors? Yes, they
would Aye, as cheeriulIy as they
toilcd with their fair, delicate fingers
in the manufacture Of comforts or
for the gallant boys in the
days Of their trial, when, half-clad
and barcfooted, they toiled on, and
Redeemed the grounl over which
hey marched.
Let the proceeds Of the tourna-
nent be appropriated to the cree
ion Of monument to the memory
# the noble dead Of Madison county. !
We love their memories, and should |
