OsCEoLA, ARKANSAS, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER :, 1885

Now sir | don't attribute this to any
vsnality ON the part of Judge Bevil,
but to his easy going, charitable dis
position, lending an ear to every APP
peal for help, regardless of his re.
sponsibilities Cor the financial condi-
tion of the county. Sir if people
would only look to their interest
they would always put man in
the responsible position of County
Judge, who had proven himself some
what of Gnancier. A man who
has never made dollar for himself
Will never pay a county out OF debt,
but sink her deeper and deeper every
year. Yes sir, | say with your
Carson Lake correspondent" let
us have new deal all around.
Some men in this county haye held
Office until thdy think, or act, as if
they thought this county belonged
to them. Another great addition to
our county Indebtedness is our Jail
expenses, catching up and boarding
out of the County Crib every fellow
who is caught shooting craps. Sir
you might put Plnkerton's whole
force here in Mississippi county and
you would not break the coons from
shooting craps, and why should we?
for when they are shooting craps the
hens can roost low in perfect safety.

EpIroL OscEoLA TINES: Sir; in
your issue of the 3lst. October, your
" Carson Lake william" " calls atten-
ton to IA matter of the most vital
importance tc every taxpayer in
the county. Sir, the very man who
during his canvass, made such cry
about retrenchment and reform in
county expenses, seems now to have
constituted himself committee to
hunt up paupers and put them in
the public stall. AS a practicing
physician, | have several times, of
late, been applied to to visit patients
with the information that Judge
Bevel says he will allow the bill"
although said parties were not ON
the pauper list; and would add
that Judge Bevel has no right
to put any one on the pauper
list only in regular sitting Of tlls
County Court. Sir, our county scrip
will not be worth picking up in the
streets, if a halt is not called, or, |
should say that property in Missis-
sippi county will not be worth own
ING, il "A certain thieving measure,
now in contemplation, should sue
ceed. ! can assure you, taxpayers
of Mississippi county, that there is
now most gigantic scheme on foot
to rob and plunder this county by
certain parties who are buying up
all the county scrip, and before ma
ny months it will be proposed to
bond the debt in interest bearing
bonds that will saddle a debt upon
this county that your grandchildren
will have to pay. BE on your guard
and see that your Magistrates carry
out your wishes when such meas
ure comes before them. Well may
Judge Bevel furnish Mrs. Mary +
Fox such delicacics as tobacco, snuff
pickles, calico, &C., when Mississippi
Co. foots the bill. Now DON'T be to-
badly shocked gentleman, when
tell You that a good responsible cit
izen, upon whose farm the said Mrs
Fox then resided, offered her and
son, Ia good sized lad,) sl,2o pei
dav to work for him, but no; Missis

were promptly on hand last Monday
morning, and opened Coprt. Many
members of the Grand Jury, howev-
er, through report, ingeniously cir
culated in the lower end of the coun-
ty, to the effect that the Judge was
sick and would not be here in time,
resulted in keeping enough away
until their places were filled by col
ored and less competent jurymen.

The Judges charge to the Grand
Jury was a clear, concise and inn

young lawyer of Springfield, addressed a
republican meeting in the town hall last Sat-
urday evening, and Or. King a young phyai.

ton meeting on the street in front of the
Carlisle House. The speaker on the street
was Interrupted by the yelling OF the boys
which is discoun teuanced by all good citizens

that all parties were represented 10
the crowd that did the halowing.-
The work Of the campaign is virtually closed
here, and the respective parties are awaiting
the verdict on next Tuesday. Nothing is un-
done to bring out full vote. The fruit-tree
men who are nearly all republicans will be
here to vote this time, thing which has not
occurred for many years. The jout debate
between the candidates for governor has
caused several prohibtioni,ts to waver. Sun

to do his little mite for Foraker before he
goes--Rev. G. ". Choste, Of the Christian
church, thorough prohibtionst, thinks he
cannot afford to throw his vote away from
practical Temperance man to a man that SAYS
the saloon business is not vice. He

present postmaster is to be congratulated and
has the appreciation OF all impartial citizens.

II will be remembered that Rev. Robb, U.
p. pastor at jamestown, the night DR.. Carson
spoke there, refused to offer prayer at The
opening of the meeting. Whether his con-
science has troubled him, or what not, we
are unable to say, but anyhow he has since
been kept busy writing cards. His latest sp-
peared in the jamestown Tribune, and 10 a
very rich production. He says:
Everyone il seems, condemns me for my
rash act ~ the republican meeting here last
Friday night, even my prohibition friends,
and my wife herself with whom | always
agree. II is likely that those who care the
least for PRAYER criticise me most severely.
Those who live in crystal palaces should be
careful how they precip'ate geological spec
linens. ! never dreamed OF being called on
To pray, and when the invitation came so un-
expected, declined probably, from some bad
impulse, possibly from a good impulse. Had
the act been deliberate aud premeditated
one, would regard it as uukind, unbrother-
ly, unwise and urchIistisn."
