LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.

lIAWToN, NOV. lItn, 1854.
EDrroR TRUE NoRIHERNER:
l notice posters are being put up by Tom.
Dodge and other democrats of our village,
advertising general "Union" jollification--
by the democracy-at Paw Paw some day
this week. Now, on general principles jol-
LITIGATION hghtens care and aids digestion,
and we may we'll wish oil efforts in that d-
rection a success. Nevertheless, Yankee-like,
we may ask questions. What will the demo-
Gratis of Van Buren, county be jolly over?
Certainly not over the result of their politi-
Cal work. They carried nothing. They con-
tributed nothing to the election (?) of Cleve-
land, the hangman, and of Hendricks, who
should have been hanged. So far as their
votes went they might as we'll not have been
cast; and as to their vociferous hallooing, ii
was only breath wasted. Nor have their
free-t trade doctrines been endorsed by their
neighbors; on the contrary, they have been
most pointedly repudiated. What, then
have they to be jolly over?
In Montgomery, Alabama, the original
capital of the confederacy, they arere Jolly
last week. There where the rebel constitu.
ton was promulgated, JEFF Davis inaugu-
rated the national flag hauled down and the
rebel flag hoisted instead they rejoiced.
They had worked for, and were assured OF
the return of democracy to power in the
Nation. The center and hub of the Cleve-
land and Hendricks departure of 1861 rol-
licked and frisked in its JOY over the result
of the election of 1884. Excursion trains
ran upon all the railroads; professions with
banners, with "Secesh" notices, filled the
town; "high" talk abounded, the speakers
exercising forbearance but in one direction
in kindly assuring the colored republicans
whose votes they had not counted, that they
would not be -enslaved although white de-
mocracy was again in the ascendant.
Those democrats were jolly, and apparent
ly had the reason of success in their efforts
for it. But what will orr democrat neigh
bors be Jolly over? Truly,
Gro. w. LAwToS.

contains nearly seventy illustrations. from
drawings by Boughton. Barnard, Green, Par
sons Small, and Psget of London, and by
such American artists as Abbey, Dielman,
Millet, Gibson, Pyle, Reinhart, Frost, Gra-
ham, Fem, and Fredericks. Fourteen Of
the Illustrations are full pages, and of these
six, including the frontispiece, are printed
separately on plate paper. Excepting the
Easy Chair and three or four poems, every
one of the % contributions to the number
is illustrated. There are two fine full page
engravings by Closson-the frontispiece,
from DR.. Hofmann's painting, "The Boy

Especially admirable are the dozen draw

Capt. Ed. Smith, the subject of this sketch,
is native of the state of Connecticut He
removed from Lyme, in that state, 10 this
village in 1912, and in 1914 opened gener-
al store at this place, and has been in busi-
ness here, as a merchant, continuously ever
since that time, and by his business ability,
genial manners, honesty and uprightness in
deal, has won an enviable reputation, and
accumulated a fair share OF the good things
of this world. In addition TO his mercantile
business he is the owner Of considerable val
liable farming land and is quite extensively
engaged in the business of agriculture On
the 25th of May, 1866, he was burned out,
but proceeded Immediately to rebuild, and
on the first day of the next October he had
his new "long brick store" ready for occu-
pancy, in which he opened general iner-
camille business which was subsequently
changed to clothing and gents furnishing
goods exclusively, since which time he has
carried an extensive and well assorted stock
of that kind of goods. The "old Cap" as he
is familiarly called, is known 20 almost every
body in Van Buren, county, and his patron
age is drawn from every township in the
county. He has n fine residence in this viii
lage. where himself and his estimable wife
enjoy life in their declining years. Every
summer they visit friends at tho sea shore
where they spend the heated term and re-
turn refreshed and invigorated. Although
6S years of age, the captain retains the fresh
ness and vigor of youth, greets his friends
with as hearty shake as in days of yore,
and is always ready to crack joke or tell a
story. Politically, he is democrat; socially,
he is a good fellow and everybody likes him.
Kindness, hospitality, and generosity are
his distinguishing traits. His many friends
rejoice with him over his honorable, richly
earned and well deserved success in life, and
wish him continued prosperity and hap
piness-
