What strange medley Of contradictions
we are Just twelve months ago we had
many sharp and angry discussions with diff.
ferent men on the subject of our late la.
mented presidents standing as to morals
they declaring he was thief and that il
mad been proven; your unworthy scribbler
denying all such infamous and slanderous
charges. On the day of Garfeld's inter.
ment, we saw some of those false accusers,
wearing badges of mourning for Garfield
and speaking highly in his praise, lauding
him highly for his genuine honesty and
general course of uprightness. While
keenly watching these things, the idea that
we are too free in America for our good
struck us with much force. Everybody in
the United States is free TO declare that a
candidate TOR the presidency is thief, a
scoa-Asel and everything else dishonora-
BILE, and this can be done with impunity.
On the day of the funeral of President
Garfield, business Of all kinds was suspend
ed in Dongola-irom 2 O'Clock to p. m.-
and the most of the business houses draped
in mourning. Only three stores that tailed
to drape. A general sadness seemed to
peryade all. All the church going portion
OF our citizens wendell their way to the
Union church. and listened to discourse on
the solemn occasion. 1t is the united wish
OF the people Of Dongola that Guiteau be
speedily tried, convicted and put to death,
and his vile carcass hid from view. In
this present age OF crime and lawlessness
however, we think it doubtful whether
Gulteau be hanged for his crime or not.
The lawyers will work up the insanity
doge and save his vile neck from the rope,
and the powers that be will sentence him,
to be petted awhile in an insane asylum.
This is Old Trims belief
Lawyers work for money, and while it
may be that Charles Guiteau may not have
a dollar, his friends may have great many
thousand and rather than have the, wretch
hanged they will hire few conscientious ~
lawyers and doctors to prove him chronic
ally insane. We shall wait and see what
we shall see
Do the Cairo folks want to feed upon the
best bread in the nationl Ifso, let them
get of Neibauer's New Roller Process
-four" and put into the hands OF good
baker and after eating the bread if you
take the heartburn just write to Frank
about it. Mr.. Woodward, of Cairo, is chief
miller and genuine gentleman he is, and
knows just how to set the burrs to pro-
duce the best of results.
Our tarmers-many OF them-are hold
ing their wheat for $3.50 per bushel.
While love to see farmers prosper can
not say that wish 10 see wheat selling for
$3.50 per bushel, because it makes bread
taste too strong of money to be palatable.
There are other folks besides farmes, who
must eat to live. was never in favor of
seeing any commodity sell for more than
its real value. Speaking Of high prices
reminds one of the present price Of "taturs."
This has not been so prolific year for
'taturs, as to cause the people to move
out their fences to give them room to
grow.
Our old townsmau, A. j. West, who com
menced clerking two months ago for Mr.,
Haythorn, Of Cairo, got call few days
ago to appear before a Dongola squire and
answer to charge preferred against him
by one of Union countys fair daughters
Jack appeared but before the matter came
to focus he concluded to take GreeleyS
advice, consequently he gave the girl and
the Office the dodge and lit out for fields in
the beautiful west
