COLBERT COUNTY

A Forecast of the Battle OIL Ballots 10
take place Monday.
COLBERT COUNTY
will, it is believed, elect full set of anti
Bourbons next week. This information
comes from most reliable source.
The Republicans and Independents of
LAWRENCE COUNTY
are prosecuting vigorous canvass. and
will carry the county by a handsome ma
jority next week. It is probably the best
organized county in the 9Th Congressional
District.
IN MORGAN COUNTY
the Republicans and Independents have
strong ticket, and the prospects are favor
able for the election of MIR. Wood, the In
dependent candidate to the Legislature,
and possibility of pulling the whole tick
ct through. This would be grand tri-
umph for Morgan, as the Democrats have
always claimed it, and generally have car
ried it by from 800 to GOO majority.
LIMESTONE COUNTY.
for want of organization, failed to put OFT
an Independent or Republican ticket. This
is very much to be regretted, because it is,
if properly organized. a safe Republican
county. Let the Republicans in that coun y
hold their fire until November, and then
wheel into line and give the Bourbons a
genuine surprise by carrying the county
for Blaine and Logan. And let it not be
forgotten that We are then to elect Con-
gressman to succeed Mr.. Pryor. Capt. L.
w. Dny, Of Huntsville, will be our stand
ard bearer. In him Gen. Wheeler will
find q competitor, the like of whom has not
been since the day of the illustrious Lowe.
Since there are no Republicans or Inde-
pendents in the field, let all who are op-
posed to Bourbonism and its methods. stay
at home in Limestone county.
OLD MADISON
is ablaze. The Bourbons are desperate,
and will, as heretofore, resort to every pos
sible means to win. They realize that theirs
is forlorn hope. Hence this desperation
Let us not be deceived. Success can on.
ly be achieved by long pull, strong pull,
and pull altogether. We have an excel
lent ticket, which will surely win by a
rousing majority if each and every individ-
ual does his whole duty. Let every voter
feel that upon him individually devolves
the responsibility of success or defeat
Every man, no matter how humble his po
eition in life, has some influence. Go to
your respective polling places early, and
vote early, then see to it that your neigh
bors do likewise. And if per.chance you
should find a Republican faltering, brace
him up. encourage him to stand by our
colors, by using persuasive, but kind argu-
ment. Don't attempt to bull-doze him,
(that you know is the Democratic methOd).
Treat everybody we'll; drink no bad whis-
ky; avoid difficulties. but be firm in the
right. and don't permit yourself to be in
timidated. The strong arm of the law was
created to protect every citizen. If there
are old men in your vicinity too feeble to
walk to the polls, see that they are furnish
ed conveyance. If you do less than this,
your whole duty will not have been done.
When we are crowned with victory next
Monday (as we certainly shall te) it will
have paved the way to an overwhelming
majority in November, that will prove to
be the final redemption Of the 9Th Congress
sional District from the rule Of Bourbon
Democracy.
HIGH JACKSON.
Our friends in jackson county are SAM
cuine of success Hunt and Glover will be
elected to the Legislature.
Day by day the people Of that grand old
county are becoming more disgnsted with
Bourbon rule. The Independent and Re-
publican voters are in perfect accord, and
working with determination to succeed.
III LAuDERDALE COUNTY
there is great disafection in the Democrats
