The Corners is alluz being made the
victim Nv mistakes, which will never end
till we git rid NV Joe Bigler, OF till our
people git into habit NV reedin. Ga
some accounts wish our people did reed
They woodent make so many plumbers,
but on the other hand they wouldn't be
so easy to manage. 1t is bad thing for
Dimocrisy when people git to reedin and
thinking for themselves.
Joe Bigler came around to Bascom's
last mite and reported that he had aG-
vices from Cincinnati, and that the nom
nation NV Tilden and reform WIZ a shoor
thing. He said the Southern brigadiels
he'd so decided, and that settled it.

sewer wich takes delitc in confusin us,
immejitly organized the Faithful into a
meetin. l remarkt that We he'd wunst

wuz, happily, rid NV the military element
in Dimocratic pollytix, a element witch
evry troo Dimocrat despised, onless it
WIZ clothed in gray.

"who does not remember the disgust

different views. Then l moved the adop-

nothin but military records to back 'em.

be an unprovoked assault upon the liber-
ties NV the South, we rejoice that the
Dimocratic convenshun hez given us a
candidate witch hez no military record 10

The resolooshuns WIZ past immeiitly
and Bascom was SO delited that nc to

also open a bar'l, and wood give credit

Bascom WIZ tappin fresh bar |, ana
the Dimocrisy stood around in Il state o.
expectancy wich may be imagined, but
cannot be described. Our mouths WIZ

1t took me several minits to collect my

"My friends scd |. "don't be too
