FIRST OF APRIL.-Several Alhanians
invested in the first day of April. We
didn't really get fooled-at least we
don't think we did, and yet we don't
understand why that younker backed
away from us with his thumb to his
nose when we asked him why he call
ed to us to 'look at that Ter item"
We don't know, and perhaps never
will, why that boy held his thumb to
his nose and wiggled his fingers in that
peculiar way; but we s'pose its a way
some boys have Of showing their
appreciation of item hunting editors.
That youth is too bright for this world
-he will die young, and we will prob.
ably have the subdued pleasure of
writing his obituary. @."''''i' p

Luther Elkins, DR.. Ballard and ]. +.
Backensto were instrumental in or 4
ganizing and inaugurating the Inde-
pendent movement in this county,
We understand Dr. Ballard figured in
their primary at Lebanon last Satur-
day, and we have occular knowledge
of the fact that Elkins and Backensto
were prominent participants in the
Primary in this city. Now anybody
who knows those three gentlemen is
fully aware Of the fact tliat they don't
figure in anything without being in the
lead.

How THEY ENTittsE.-Six faithful
Republicans and nary Democrat held
the Dolly-Varden primary at Center,
and S. Canon and Jas. Daniels were
elected delegates to the county CON
Yentlon. 1t was not n very enthusiastic
rneeting-not q voice was heard in
spaech-making-not u 'fesolute5 was
thrown in sight--in fact not leaf
