i R6The republicans are practicing the
same deception on the people in relation tc
the reported appearance of Logan here
that they did with Gov. Cullum. Notwith'
standing the fact the republican committee
received a telegram from the state COM
mittee last Saturday that Logan could not
speak here, the Union continues to adver
tise him for next Saturday night. But
: probably the committee doesn't think II
worth while to post the Union, knowing it
can do no harm.
For The Argus:
On Monday last writ of habeas corpus
was sworn out and W. w. Armstrong, the
ignorant quack butcher of Andalusia, had
a hearing before Judge Peasants who
had reached home on Saturday to spend q
few days with his family, Attorney Par
menter for the people, and Kenworthy 8
, Beardsley for Armstrong. He was baIleC
8 by A. and i. Weaver, of Bowling, Bur
we'll Smell, g. Hobart, II, 2. StoddarG
: and A. Bufum. He can now return tC
AndaIusia and resume his killing business
unless the county clerk shall have hin
arrested for violation of the state law II
practicing without a license, aud thai
should be done if the law is not mer'
: farce. Viii! County Clerk Cooke attend
to his duty in the matter now? REG.

culinary shirt and at the close took up
q collection for the republican campaign
;. fund amounting to something over $40
Such men as this Hartzell who are to-
: well known at home to obtain any place o
e profit or trust are the class who focked t
the South and had greatness suddenl
thrust upon them through the medium Q

IS Mems Bureau" steal. Fortunately the
!. are pretty well known throughout thi
section and their manufactured tales G
woe concerning the ''down-trodden colore
e man" and the fear of republicans to Ell

those whose bread and butter depend

north attempts to use it.
