After the delugc last Monday,
our farmers will not be apt to COM

Mrs. Martha Ross, Mrs. J. l..
Driver and Mrs. Melissa Hale re-
turned from the Hot Springs last
Saturday. Tho latter, notwith-
standing the fact that she had been
reported as restored TO perfect
health, is lying almost at the poin,
OF death.
1t Is altogether owing to wha,
sort of crowd a candidate getc
into, whether it's good policy to
get down ana pray and shed croco-
ollie tears over his misdecds before
soliciting their votes. Hypocrisy
is born Of deceit, and will sooner
