OF place like this there is but little
news to interest the newspaper read
er, who, about this time, is thrilled
and filled with Grant receptions, polit-
zeal booms, rumors of wars and blood
curdling sensations from other parts
of the world, to say nothing of the
leg-mania and champion.belt tenden-
cies of the times elsewhere. We have
only second-class pedestrians, no poll

but for peaceful content, attending to

Blessed be the memory of Thomas Foy.
The farmers have finished gathering
their crops. The grain yield is good,
and believe everything that is gen
orally raised here did well excepting

frost in July, have proven almost a
complete failure, but, by eating tops

Our mines (for we have mines) are
being prepared for spring-sver the

The antics of the little ring of Democrats in
jackson, who assume the leadership of the
party in the county, are truly amusing. We
had detective on hand at the little meeting at
the Fair Ground on Saturday. This meeting
was arranged by Gen. Bluster, Truthful James,
Col. Micawber and the Learned Shoemaker, for
the purpose of lamentlng, in concert, over the
extreme wickedness of James B. Paine, and re-
joicing over the goodness of Levi D1ngan.
These Democratic leaders go upon the theory
that all ''workingmen' are worthless tramps
They cannot conceive how a man can be la
borer, and be an honest, intelligent man, at the
same time. Hence, they slip around the back
alleys and concoct stories with which to stuff
the workingmen. Atthe meeting on Saturday,
our detective informs us, the Howard appeared
in an old coat which he had hunted up for the
occasion. He was trying to look shabby, for
the effect on the workingmen, as much as to
say that man cannot be decently dressed
man and laboring man at the same time
Then the Brick skirmished around, and found a
pair of coarse cow-hide shoes. These he sprink-
led literally with brick-dust, and put them on.
Then. although habitually wearing coat, he
discarded it on Saturday, and appeared in his
| "shirt-sleeves." Thus, in a calico shirt and
cow-hide shoes he tried to look poor. Then
| Buster tried to look hungry, but only succeed
| ed in looking ugly. Then Micawber appeared,
trying to look poor, but there were those pres
ent who.knew that he possessed as fine clothes
as anybody. Then the Learned Shoemaker ap-
peared and tried to look ugly-and he was the
only one that succeeded.
| Now we ask all honest, tntelligen working
men, are you not tired of the insults this gang
are constantly Offering you?
There Is abundant evidence that the farmers

Mulberry Ewing and Ailin' O'Myers
e'The c ommittee of Safety ="

Mulberry Ewing and the idiotic OMyers had
| a grand mass meeting at the Court House on
Thursday night of last week. There was much
en- thusiasm, but for some reason, the Republi-
cans came away jubilant, and the Democrats
came away very, very mad. The occasion was
considered of sufficient importance to require
action by the "Committee of Safety" So Bandy
"whacked the tumbuZZy" and called the faith
full together.
1t was plain that the speeches were the chief
subjects of thought in that gathering. Col. Mi
cawber chewed his tooth-pick in silence, Brick
beat nervously upon the ground with his stick,
Busters brother silently whitfield slab of
| store-box, Spike-nose looked solemn, and the
only sound that ruff1ed the air was the melan-
choly crunching of the Learned Shoemaker's
peanuts.
Col. Micawber rose to his full height, and in
quired:
"Well, what do you think of it?"
"Well,' said the Learned s., 81 think Myers
is an Internal fool!" and he sat down.
Bandy turned up onto his feet, and said:
Spy shiminy, eff dat Myers efer mistakes me
| fur niger agin, I'll smash him. will, by
| shiminy ~
''I heard" said the Cardinal, "that that was a
| mean trick in Myers. I've heerd the colored
| men talked of maxim him 'pologize ~ Bandy
sat down.
The Brick remarked that he sometimes be-
came discouraged at the way things were going.
Whenever he got a voter to believe that Blus-
ter was great friend to the soldiers, some tool
| Democratic speaker would draw the line be-
tween Union and rebel soldiers, and that was
| an end of Bluster, with that voter.
81 Think" said Howard, "that Myers is doin g
| us good. He's great man. Why, when he
gifts on railway train, he has only to say
| 'Pickaway' and the conductor won't say another
| word to him"-
"No," said Cardinal John, she don't say a
| word-he jist opens the door, an pitches
| him out"
| Busters brother remarked that he hadn It
been doing much, but now he was going to
| take the field. He was going to make twenty
| five votes
"Don't do it !" yelped Bandy, "Paine will haf
| enough fotes widout you maxim i'm twenty
fife more!" Busters brother sat down.
| "Theres one thing" said Rip, "that we git
| 'em on Gen. Rice lost a leg in the army ; we'd
| better go it heavy on that'-
| But" said Spike-nose, "whiIe Gen. Rice was
| writhing and groaning under the knife of the
| army surgeon, Bluster was sitting in his office
| with loaded revolver in his pocket, grinning
at Bob Lees portrait, and hoping that Rice
| might be killed. The Republicans will go il
heavy on that'-
| "It isn't SO !' said Micawber.
"But we all know that it is so," said Lewis
| the Sleepy.
81 think" said the Tall Butternut, "that oul
best holt is the great number of men who arr
out of employment"-
"Where are they?" asked the Howard. 81
would like to employ some of 'em in my can
| nel-coal bank"-
"Oh, can't jest put my hand on 'em,' said
the T. B., "but they're everywhere"--

| that the Democratic party has got pretty low,
when it has to convene for the purpose of in
venting some campaign trick. Whars the
time -honored principles of the old Washing
tonian-Jefferso ersonian-Jacksonian Democratic
party7 Have we, who have boasted in our
party some of the greatest men the world has
ever produced, got so low that we are led by
demagogues and street-loafers, and even then
cannot find trick mean enough to adopt as a
plan of battle? If we have, it is time decent
Democrats were knowing it. The Democracy
of jefferson, tackled onto the coat-tals of Mi
cawber and Jim Meach''--
And Long Ed walked away in disgust And
Cardinal John walked away in disgust. And
somehow or other, they all walked away in
disgust except our reporter, who left in an ex-
cel1ent humor. We wish that Ewing and Ny
ers could have remained few hours longer.

We Be Brethren 70,

All is love, and peace, and harmony, in the
Democratic party of Jackson county. On last
Saturday night, there was Ewing and Rice
meeting at Coalton. A number of the faithful
went up from Jackson. They divided their
time between making speeches and fighting
while in Coalton, and spent all their time, on
the way back, in fighting. Some of the faithful
were drunk and quarrelsome after their arrival
at Jackson. The members of the Jackson Syn
dicate are beautiful set The honest, decent
Democrats throughout the county ought to be
proud of them
