Couldn't stand HIS Looks.

One of the most active election
workers in the lower end of this coun-
ty says he had made up his mind to
vote for Newberry, but that when he
saw the man, he was disgRsted, and
determined he must be represented
in Congress by better and more de-
cent looking man than that. This
gentleman is a working man, labor

HARRY SMYTH says, Newberry
pulled off his store clothes and put on
a homemade jeans suit to election
eer in, and that it has lost him the
respect of nearly every voter in Taxes
well. Newberry is rich, and all this
is trying to put on airs. The people
of Tazewell have pride in the good
looks and respectable dress of man
running for a ten thousand dollar Of

IT was a queer bit of insanity, that
idea that the Government can take

Congressman out of them.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

The only way to have friend is to
be one.
A fox sleeps, but counts hens in his
dreams.
If you act with view to praise only
you deserve none.
b. We seek to control others, yet how
few of us are masters of ourselves.
Always be as witty as you can with
your parting bow your last speech is
the one remembered.
knowledge, when possessed by only
few, has almost always been turned
to iniquitous purposes.
1t is easy to pick holes in other peo-
pies work but it is far more profitable
TO do better work yourself.
!a- We appreciate no pleasures unless
we are occasionally deprived of them.
Restraint is the golden rule of enjoy
ment.E g-6 - Ff5
There is nothing SO easy as to be
wise for others; species of prodi-
gality, by the way, for such wisdom is
wholly wasted. fgie
Give little to those who ask, even
though you suspect them to be lmpos-
tors. 1t may not do good to them, but
it will to you.
Good nature, like bee, collects its
honey from every herb. Ill nature,
like a spider, sucks poison from the
sweetest flower.
Insult not misery, neither deride in
trinity, nor ridicuIe deformity; the
first is inhuman, the second shows
folly, and the third pride.
