his family, after long anu p!tdS-
ant visit east. Judge Browns re-
turn to his home is most wei
come event to the citizens of the
town, and his family was most
sadly missed during the past few
weeks. We gladly welcome
Colonel Brown home where his
record as a pure and noble citizen,
an upright gentleman an unspot-
ted christian has SO endeared him
to every heart"
Two weeks ago the Buzzard
printed the following double-lead.
ed editorial
The convention that nominal
ed Ephrailu Guano Brown a short
time ago, thinking that the people
at home would forthwith indorse
its action and rally around the
deceased duck and soiled dove
Brown, had better 90 and soak its
throe-corncred head. We desire
to place the Buzzayd right with
the people before it is too late.
THE BUZZARD BOLTSlii
"Was it using the wing CT the
party well which is headed by the
Buzzard to treat it with cool con-
tempt and to nominate 4 man
whose ostensible intellect has been
softened by age and alcohol till he
don't know enough to come in
when it rains? VIII the cOnven-
ton seek 10 ram down the Threats
Of the party man whose social
record is nothing but a COB Of
slime upon our national escutch-
con =? That is what it has sought
20 do, and the BUzzard desires TO
state that il cannot be led by the
nose in that manner. A year ago
when the Buzzard was III the hands
of the sheriff and lettering on its
feet, we might have been more
easily whipped into the party
traces but to-day, in the full sun
light of prosperity, with the tax
list printing for this fall, with the
encouragement of our paid sub
scribers and another man, we
come out boldly and bolt the nomi-
nation
"And who is this Ephraim G.
Brown, anyhow? Formerly
pedagogue and afterwards sheriff!
That is not all. We are or the
track of an affidavit which will
open the eyes of the people as to
the former history of Ephraim G.
Brown.
"Who was it that, twenty three
years ago, sold the remains of his
4 mother in-law to an oleomargarine
lfemporium, and now has the au.
dacity to come before the people
and; ask for the suffrages of hi;
8 fellowsitizens? These are solemn
| questions. They are question:
