A PREACHER EATING His HORSE -

"What is the chance fora Methodist

The reply was that it was the same
as for any other man, If he had money.
"But If have no money!"
The chances were bad enough.
"What do you charge tor board?"
asked the circuit rider.
The rates were given.
"Look at my horse" said he.
"What do you think he is worth?"
The animal was doubtless good mid
dling, for our preachers are not novices
about horses, and no men have better
use for them.
That preliminary settled. the preach
er proceeded in a very straight-for-
ward style with the host. "Slr, turn
my horse into your stable, and when
you think | have ate up the value of
him, let me know, and | will either
change my quarters or provide other
means of paying my BILL"

before the horse was eaten the town
capitulated. The people presented

his own bill beside; fitted out 1.-THE

With eleven counties to hear from, Caldwell
has a majority in the State of 3,72G, against
which the vote of 1870 gives decrease of
2,034, leaving us 1862 clear majority We are
hopeful Of making a gain in Polk, Ashe and
Montgomery counties, which if our expectations
are fulfilled will leave us nearly 1000 majority
but to be safe andlwithin bounds we are claiming
the State by only about thousand majority.
We have gained forty-two members of the
Legislature over the constitution of the House
last year. and it is said that the majority of the
Democrats on joint ballot will not availto defeat
the election Of our United States Senator, as a
sufficient number of Democrats will either alb
stain from voting or unite with the Republicans
to ensure the election OF Republican Senator.
There is great deal of excitement now as the
election is assuming more favorable aspect
for us, and the threat of Merrimon to contest is
received with considerable merriment. The
outlook is constantly growing better, and ar
rangements are being made for grand jubilee
on Saturday.
