,ndence off the pemocrat.


 The school meeting for this (S) district was well attended and re- suited in the election of L. Brashear for director, and five mill tax for school purposes. r. Wheat is head ing with prospect for light yield. Oats promise big crop. Corn in good condition and farmers are in dulging the hope that they may
 have some fat hogs next fall. Cot
 ton up and grass growing. ... Paint linz has much changed the outside appearance of tue church at Gravel Hill. When the third coat is put on,
 which will be done soon, it will ap- pear quite attractive. Lumber has
 been placed Tn the house to finish up the inside work. <. The boys
 say I must rewrite that panther
 story. The mad dog has been killed
 but the mighty maraudings of the panther continue. Ask Big Rob-
 about it. ...I learn that some coun- cils of B. of F. are having quite stormy times at some of their meet ings and such they may expect as long as they continue to meddle in political matters. What do these in dependent political and feigned anti
 monopoly moves mean any way?
 Have these democrats CD who are
 ready to be led away ever dreamed that the home of President Arthur and his advisers-the s.alwarts, might be seen therein? An, how
 much they would like to capture Ar
 kansas, Tennessee, Alabama, Geor-
 gia and other states, and to this end
 they are working with a deathless
 energy and cunning without a par
 allel, to corrupt the minds of the
 people and make them believe that
 the perpetuation of our civil liber- ties depends upon the defeat of the
 democratic party. They know that
 democrats will not vote for republi-
 cans is why they work up these in
 dependent moves all to weaken the
 party. But feeling assured that de-
 mocracy will take care of itself l
 turn to view these movements from
 another standpoint, and would like
 to ask if they have not at their bot
 tom something very near akin to
 AGRARIANisM? Perhaps on the part of
 a large majority of those who hold to these doctrines the designs are
 not evil ones. The ends sought may
 be reasonable ones but the means
 resorted to for the attainment of
 these ends might tend to plunge us
 suddenly into great confusion, our
 statesmen and political economists
 might do we'll to look into these
 things and warn the people of dan
 ger. And would there be any harm
 in the people studying the theory
 and principles of our government and the conditions necessary to it's
 perpetuity? Unto us it belongs to guard our rights with vigilance. We ought to be careful unto whom we commit legislation and the execu. tive departments of the government. These things can best be done through party organization. For the
 perpetuity of our civil liberties we look to the success of democratic principles. :. i. The B. of F., in Pope county, that is, the seceding faction, say they have taken hold of demo cratic principles and are going to carry out the same and reform the government Aud can they do this? Why not! They number oyer thous- and. And when they get hold of the reins of government l beg of them to be as lenient as possible with us big, bloated, corrupt democrats And now a word to HI. c. D." You might induce me to swallow that saw mill' in case of emergency, but you cannot palm of this B. of F. stuff on me, am not composed of that kind of material. No, no, I iont claim to be lover mucbly" smart and from fear your bugship night gobble up my poor. little, l emo CT at i.c carcass, 1 close by oronouncing yours an alarming case, four symptoms savor largely Of the 'tench of sick radicalism. I would recommend an immediate applica- lon of Wizard Oil. BELIsso.
