From Lee County.
LIVELY Lee!
500 to 1000 Majority for Full
kerson and July.
"PnSte thisIn your Fat until AZ
ter the Election and then let
the Funders Smoke IT."

Malone and Fulkerson are greater
lconoclasts among the Fundors than
was the Emperor Lee among the church
images OF the Eastern Empire. The
Funders had fixed UP nice little tale
how the May ticket and Trigg were go
ing to swoOp down on Leo and capture
the unwary voters of that county by
several hundred majority. But Just as
they had got their tale 10 begin to circu-
late, along comes that fearless Iconoclast,
Col. FulkeIson and without shame OF
remorse, explodes all the Funder
schemes about Lee, higher than kite.
Now all the Funders will readily agree
that it is very wrong for this untamed
and undismayed ReadiuSter from Bris-
tOl to come out here and expose the tac-
ties of the Funder rings and Court
House clacquers in that way, for are not
the FunderS born to ruler
There has been so much Dragging in
dulged in by the Funders, that when
tell you the plain unsophisticated truth,
it will read like Il sterotyped edition OF
some Of the Funder bulletins changed
by the hand of a Readusler. But the
truth must be told, even if it eXpl0dcs
Fuuder fiction. Besides your readers
had just as well learn the truth now as
after the election. The July ticker will
receive five hundred majority in Lee
county, and Fulkerson's majority will
90 little over that. Tell the "padde
brigade" to put this in their pipes and
smoke-tell it in Gath, and publish it IN
Askclon, that from the hill tops in Lee
the trusty people are answering the Re.
adjuster slogan that is borne on the
breeze from Scott.
Fulkersonand Trigg spoke to very
large crowd at Jonesville on last Tucs-
day, The first day of the county court
| The Funders rssorted to their disgusting
and threadbare practice of posting BOYS
around through the crowd to make !
little show to deceive the uninnitiats,
| by noise, but it WAS no u4e--it was toe
| thin and did not pan out worth . cent
Now, | want to tell you, If you vii
promise me on honor that you will ney
er tell any Funder, little thing, and
| that il, that the crowd was beyond AL
question for FulkersOn. StrAWs show
which way the winds do blow. The Re
adjusters claim Lee by 800 to 1850 vote
msjOrity,N the Funders say il will b,
close. But the best iudex ia the wos-be
goue expression and long facss tina

Of Realjusmsnt, said he hsl heard An
drew Johnson, Grniry,, JoUeS, and Othe
great orators Of Tenn, and thst Col
Fulkerson is the peer Of any OF them -
he has made Il good impression on Oil
people, and he carries around him TIA
prestige Of success.
Paste this IN the back Of vour memo

Lee by more than 800 majority, and IT
ter election send II to the Fund-rs.
