TOs,hs CoiOrea Voters OF shelby

County.
We don't ask you to vote our wsy
without giving you a reason for it. If
your judgment tells you thstit is for
your interest to vote the Eaton
ticket we have nothing to say. If ON
the other hand you believe the low
tax Republican ticket and the low tax
Democratic ticket combined is the
best ticket for you to vote then We ap
peal to you to stand like men by your
convictions. Our opponents, the Fed
eral Ring, know hat all the argument
is on our side, they know that we are
right and that we are for the best in
terest of our race in this election.
Knowing all this they dare not meet
u speakers in fair discussion, but
they content themselves with appeal
iDgto the fears and p~rejudices of the
colored race. 1t is their purpose
to hoodwink US and deceive US in or
der to get US to vote for the bondhold-
ers. The man who talks about the
colored people being sent back to
slavery or the taking away of their
political rights is either a knave or
a fool. General Williamson when he
told the colored people at the Beale
street markot-house that our white
neighbors would, if they were in pow
er, return the colored man to slavery
uttered a falsehood and he knew it.
As long as you believe such stuff as
that, We can newer have prosperity in
this country. Bury out OF sight such
prejudice at the polls, tomorrow.
Vote for peace, for good feeling, for
harmony, for low taxes, free public
school and good government. Let
the Federal Ring go. No more
bosses for us. [Signed1

Could stand a Year.

Coiled up in a door way back Of

was found sound asleep, and after
being rolled about the cold stones Of
the alley, for a quarter Of an hour,
was aroused sufficiently to keep bis
legs, until he could be walked to the
station house. A good many steps
we're necessary as his legs were very
short. When called in this merning,
he asserted that he would swear of
for a year, if released. make it two
years and we'll trade" said the judge.
"Lemme try it one year first
and may be l can stand it another. l
don't like to promise too much, your

But how are you going to go
through the election without a

These simple facts are well

Notwithstanding the enormous advance
made in cattle raising during the past
twenty years or so, the increased supply,
even in favorable seasons, has not been at
oil commensurate with the increased de-
mand for beef The ratio OF increase in
cattle is less than that in population, 80
that with no change in dietetic habits, the
demand for beef would tend steadily to
outrun the supply. But our appetite for
beef increases much more rapidly than
our numbers. The marketman makes his
daily rounds with fresh beef in hundreds
OF communities where salt pork was eaten
almost exclusively twenty-five years ago;
and generally throughout the country,
beef has largely displaced pork on the to.
bles OF farmers, mechanics, and ell.to-do
people. This is partly because of the uni.
versal improvement in the scale OF popular
living due to general prosperity, hut more
perhaps to the influence Of an active school
OF would be- health reformers who have
persistently decried pork as an article Of
food, and created widespread and I'M
reasonable prejudice against it. Leaving
out Of consideration any possible increase
in the demand for beef for expectation, we
may reasonably anticipate that the home
demand for beef will continue to increase
as fast, il not faster, than the population
does; and there can be no marked decline
from the present excessive prices until the
supply Of beef cattle is brought up to the
level Of the popular requirements. It is
not the prime cost OF beef cattle in the
field, or their necessary cost at the sham
bles after being driven or carried half way
across the continent that chiefly deter
mines the price of the meat to the consum-
er, but the simple fact that the supply is
relatively SO meagre that cattle raisers can
ask and readily get prices which enable
them to make 80. 40 and even 80 per cent
per annum on the money invested selling
for six cents per pound. live weight. cattle
which cost two cents pound to raise. -

1t is safe TO estimate that there is bard

having tile laid through it, will become
more valuable than the other parts OF the
farm. BY treclaiming them. and laying
tile SO as to draw OF all the standing wat.

equal number Of acres for the money that
it will cost TO tile it; and not only that,
