Capt. John Slack, editor of the
Bristol Courier gives his little run
away brother the following unique
advertisement: "Our aifectionate
brother, Samuel Abraham Slack, Is
years old, skipped the lunch last
Wednesday evening, Joy go with
him. Sammie had grown too large
to monkey around in the garden, or,
perhaps, the patch was too diminu-
tive to longer interest his expanding
genius. If be returns in 30 years,
president of the United States, it
will be all right, all right. Other
wise, Sammio had better slip through
the hole in the back of the lot where
the paling is off. Anybody enter
tanning a fve-eights grown boy,
whose personal property amounts to
a string gallows, stone-bruise and
a mammoth raspberry mark on the
back of his neck, wearing his Illus
trious fathers hat, his dear brother
Johnnie's pink shirt, and poor Wills
Sunday pantaloon, can just entertain
as long as they feed him well, then
spank him, and tag him, and express
him to his loving mother"

Ex-Gov. Miller, of Batesville,
comes to the front with the declara-
ton, that a potato carried IN the
breeches pocket is a sure prevfntive
of rheumatism, and the papers OF the
state are going wild about it. '
The question comes up, Csp Ex-
Gov. Miller prove that he would have
been afflicted with rheumatism, had
he eaten that old potato when it was
fresh and sound, instead OF toting 1t
around in his pockets: We can now
account for his defeat for the SECOND
term for govcrnorship. Any man
who will carry an old decayed pota-
to in his pocket Instead of taffy foI
the children and saake bite remedy
for the voters on campaign in Ar,
kansas, is dead sure to beaten, and
he ought to have known it.

EDiToR OsCEoLk TIMEs-Dear
Sir: ain times of peace we should
prepare for war" is a maxim that
should be engraved upon the mem'
ory of every Democratic voter Of
Mississippi County. Whether a
county with respectable Demo
cratic majority, shall be oppressed
with Republicans aud two-faced
mug wumps is the question for us to
decide. In our last election for
School Director in this Monroe town
ship the color line was drawn, and
by united and determined action of
the Democrats the Republicans were
badly defeated. And ] assert that
the same result can be achieved
throughout Mississippi county, if the
white voters, who constitute the
Democratic party will unite,
All that is necessary, is for the
party W toiiit tVStthcis Nisi' S''
ing the dictates of all the two-faced
wool-pulleFs, who are good demo-
Gratis, or, good republicans, as the
exigencies OF the case may require
to catch the votes, and hold primary
elections, allowing only known dem
ocrats to vote. Should any and ey-
cry one be allowed to vote, we know
of two-faced villains in onr midst
who would run in their tools and
carry the day, Meet in broad oper
day light, and select our strongest
men, run them, forcing incompeten
cy and rullianism to take back seat
Remember that this is free coun.
try, and that men elected to Office
are only our servants, instead Of W.
being their slaves. Let us have thi'
matter agitated all over the county
and come to some concert of action

Summer Poetry.
[Ground out for the Times.l

lGround out Tor the Ilmes.l
Oipr the days that are pas, and gone,
when the town was patronized by the govern
ment throng;
They distributed freely in this location.
Their well-earned part of the appropriation.
But they are ali gone, save some few,
Who are cooped up down at san Sou;
We have one consolation yet left.
Our crops are bountiful, and the best.
Our merchants are bound 30 advance,
And TO the credit system they must dance;
The music that would sound to them best,
Would be the whistle of the cotton press.
For when they commence 70 gin,
Pressing business will then begin;
With plenty of pic kers in the field.
Gathering in the bountiful yield,
Every face win wear a smile,
Even to the blind nigger in the wood-pile'
In the distribution of the proceeds of the crop.
High or low, let none be forgot.
Doctors win make out their bills,
For patti, mt attendance on all sorts o. Ills,
The druggists, Tor his powders and pulls,
WIN surely be ready with mis- bills.
The merchant, who has the upper hand
VIII not be slow with his demand;
The saloon keepers will want their share,
For few there are, who have not been there
Their claims are certainly meritorious.
For ofttimes they have msde us ga-lorious;
The hotels and boarding houses will take IN
the cash,
For rtheir long trusted out hash.
The ladies will come in for their portion,
For husbands " i'll receive extra deyotion:
There are few husban e who can deny,
And fewer wives, but can succeed, IL they try
The Times, one of our good ins slltutions,
Must not be forgot in this grand distribution
For what's done more than the press,
10 encourage and foster every Interest
The editor, in mis- modest and unassuming way
Gives US the important news of the dayi
The lawyers will beg TO LOOK vicious,
But ii they don't get there, twill be curious.
The butcher. who has all TO meat,
10 leave him out would not he neat;
The baker too, with his staff of life,
Must not be forgotten in this strife.
The men who run the extensive livery.
Are not slow to demand on delivery;
The saw -mill man, with his long measure,
VIII come In for share of the treasure.
The barber. who shaves and cuts your halr,
His patrons win see that he gets his share;
. The man VIII o deals in sewing machines.
" i'll have to be paid by all means.
The man who IL axes harness for all,
While paying your debts. give him call;
Carpenters who toed through the hot weather
With great expectations, when the crop you
gather
The ice man, who has kept rs all cool.
Not to pay him, would be too cruel;
The almon-eyed chinee, with his plested queue
Is sure to demand all that is due.
Last of ALL Is the shoemaker,
lie is not the sole OF wit, only an undertaken,
lie makes and mends our understanding.
You vii. surely pay all his demanding.
With plenty Of money what's to prevent us,
From taking a leasure tiip to Memphis,
We .,pay paint in town, few red spots.
But as time rolls by, it's soon forgot.

MARSH ELECTRIC LAMP.

Having heard much about the light
giving power, safety, cheapness and
durability of this Lamp, we bought
one, and all can readily see on ex-
animation it is everything claimed
for it by the advertisement in anoth-
er column. The MARCH ELECTRIC
burns the common coal oil, and can
be used as a Table, Bracket or Hang
ing Lamp, for Lighting Parlors, Halls
Dining Rooms, Offices, Shops, Fac
tories, Hotels, Churches, etc, and
one gives the light Of five ordinary
Lamps. We understand over 10000
have already been sold, and some
energetic man should secure the
agency for this section, as he could
certainly make money out of an ar
ticle of such universal demand. Be-
ware Of limitations. None genuine
except MARCH is stamped on.

Compound. She said she could discover o. sG!1t-
tary effect from the first dose. Now she is COM
paratively free from the Prolapsus, Stomach's
sickness, &c. The hemorrhage is very much bet
ter and is less at the regular periods. Her appe-
tite is restored, and her general health and
strength are much improved. We feel that we
have been wonderfully benefited and our hearts
are drawn out in gratitude for the same and in
sympathy for other sufferers, for whose sakes we
allow names to be used.

Further Evidence of Merit.

Major r. B. Nicholson, favorably
known in Wheeling, w. Va,
writes:
II had long suffered from a dis
order of the bladder and kidneys,
complicated with weak nerves,
poor digestion and bad blood. Life
was becoming a burden to me.
The use of cathartic mixtures and
diuretic compounds only afforded
me slight temporary relief, and
grew respondent and discourage
ed. Indeed, I thought my case
entirely hopeless, until at the rec
ommendation of my nephew | be-
gan the use of DIR. GuysOtt's Vel
low Dock and Sarsaparilla. I
soon experienced relief from my
anxiety of mind, and severe phys
ical distress soon ceased troubling
me. Eventually the most crafty
ing results followed, and at the
end of a few months / never felt
in better health, nor have / since
had any reason to doubt the per-
manency of the cure"
