by BrownlOw's method of counting out
counties, that some Republican said to
him. THE rebels for whom you are
working will kick you overheard as soon
as they get into power Mr.. Thomas
made hard fight with ATnel, and beat
him, but was counted out by BrownlOw
and afterward by Congress in the con-
tested election case. He has been
Liberal Conservative man. Perry,

for him. He will certainly be very
strong in this county, where the people
do not easily forget good, hard work on
their behalf.O
