The proposition by G. o. Bull to
the candidates meets the approba
ton of our voters, and any method
by which the usual annoyance con-
sequent upon a general canvass can
be avoided should be accepted. A
great many people regard the present
system Of canvassing a nuisance,
and would be glad to see the day
that dooms it as a thing Of the past.
This thing of electioneering with
men of stamina seems to me to be
useless, for they generally vote their
sentiments regardless of influence.
AS to the floating vote, no one can
depend on it to any degree of GER
tainty. It's the last shot that bags
the game in that kind of a hunt,
and happy is he who gets the part
ing word. People generally do not
know how to appreciate the greet
ings of an office seeker. They ac-
cept their congratulatory remarks
and expressions of regard in
manner that in most cases indicates
that they have little faith in their
sincerity. For the consideration of
the candidates 1 will suggest that
they call the voters Of each civil
district together at certain points
and at given times and each one
present his claims in a regular set
speech. Should this plan be
adopted, one meeting each at Camp
bellsville and Barcheers would be
sufficient for the 10Th. / would
further suggest these meetings be
held on Saturdays, as that would
be more convenient for the country
folk. l leave this question in the
hands of others with the hope that
it will be agitated. P. j. Anderson,
after a sojourn Of two years among
us, has gone to Pulaski. We con
graduate society there upon this &C
QUESTION and hope that he and his
estimable wife will be eminently
successful in their new fields. f.
II. Cheatham & Co., our genial
sportsmen, caught a real deer on
Dry creek last week. Others have.
been seen in this vicinity. c. CT
Vaughn is behind the counter now
smoling his sweetest smiles, and the
place fits him splendidly. j. NJ.
Parker went to Nashville last week
in the interest of the saw mill firm,
which indicates a change in the
nsodus operandi Old Kris did not
make his advent in his usual pomp
and splsndor this time, and we be-
gan to think that his presence would
be ignored altogether, and were
about to conclude that the Christ |
mas turkey was in the past tense. |
Happily we were mistaken, and it is
to Mr.. and Mrs. r. J. Anderson that |
we are indebted for our Christmas |
dinner. Knowing our storage, am /
pie culinary preparations were made,
and according to long established
custom we did it justice. Misses
Della and Jennie, pupils at Martin
College, and Mr.. n. j. Anderson,
genial clerk st Pulaski, were spend
ing vacation at home, hence the
dinner. The latter part of the fes
tive season seems to have been i'm
nensely enjoyed by the young PEG
pie. Several socials were given for
their benefit where the young folks
to their hearts content
in the rustic games adapted to such
occasions. Your correspondent had
the pleasure Of attending two of
at Scion. Hamlet's, at
which maidens fair and manly gal
ants passed a pleasant evening; and
,ne at Jas. P Tidwelrs, where they
ripped the light fantastic till the wee
,ms' hours. Miss Mollie was
lntiring in her efforts to contribute
% the pleasure of her numerous
quests. They had Christmas tree
1t Pleasant Valley on the night Of
he oath for the benefit of the Sun
lay school 1t will not go into
winter quarters, which speaks well
or that community. j. Morgan
chapman spent the holidays in c
lawrence county. kULLY.
