literary efforts of Local.
The healthy Christian condition OF
the same place is evidenced by the
fact that on last Sunday morning,
after an excellent Centenary sermon
delivered by DIR. GiIlett, the pious
congregation contributed about one
dozen genuine dollars for the promo
ton of the cause of Education, Christi
anity, &c.
These minor matters, in which few
people nowadays take an interest,
having been thus expeditiously dis
posed of, / come to the more i'm
portant consideration of the political.
In the first place, firstly, William
Williams, Democratic candidate for
Sheriff, whose profoundly logical dis
QUESTION on the Freedman's Bureau,
at Centenary meeting, was given in
substance, demands peculiar and sps-
cific attention.
Mr.. Williams, who, on account of
personal sympathy for his youthful
unaccountability | ustinsist on call
ing Billy, is verdant type Of hui
mainly about five feet ten inches long,
doubtful complexion, and superb hair.
His personal beauty is materially i'm
paired by the affected condition of
his wardrobe, which he imagines well
calculated to arouse the sympathy of
the people in his behalf.
His only attempts at literary dis
tinction are substantially thusly:
Billy was a member of the LIST In
diana Cavalry, and his association
with the true and tried" caused
him to entirely abandon his heredi-
tary predictions for the Democratic
party.
" Judge Moore, of the Boonv;lle
Enquirer, was also member of the
same regiment, having originally vol
unteered in the capacity of nurse; but
in very short time, ascertaining that
campaigning against rebels was not
particularly congenial to his peaceful
and forgiving nature, he managed,
with little troubles inasmuch as he
was a useless regimental appendage,
to get a discharge He came home,
and Immediately began "lnewspa-

ton, and the further prosecution of
the war on the part of the Federal
Government 2 - 80 a1}u4
His oft repeated boasts of his own
military career" created great indig-
nation in the regiment, where he was
known, and accordingly some reckless
parsonage penned an article to
which Billy affixed his mark
in which the names of Moore,
Pyeatt, Boner and others ap-
peared conspicuously but not COM

document the most gracious Judge, ;"
naturally enough, became highly
offended, and he opened his mouth
and spake with loud voice, saying,
Woe unto thee, William, thou son of
Cal! Out of thy bowels proceedeth
corruption, and from thy tongue
goeth forth blasphemy. Thou hast
spoken against the anointed of the
most high Democracy. Thou saidst
that | defiled the garments of Uncle
Sam. Now, therefore, will I spew.

be an abomination in the land. :" =
For sometime after Billy came home
he was like the Irishman's flea. His
status was doubtful. Democrats gazed
at hin. gravely. They cussed and dis
eussed him. No onegQknew where.
Billy was. But, alas. the SOW return

hungry thirsty and naked was re-

rich feast prepared, for the lost was

shouted aloud for joy.4a ,n46 Ill
But there were some in the crowd
who rejoiced not, neither were they
glad. The Apostle Moore said" Why
killeth we the fatted calf, and where
