A COOK THAT WON'T FIGHT IN THIS
COUNTY.
From the Odessa Democrat

TlOln II OuSooo
"The bloody shirt may not be a hand
some rag, but it is very persuasive, es-
pecially when waved by such an &C
ccmplished and skillful veteran as
Sherman; and it wins"
The above is from the Higginsville
Post. We confess to being surprised
at seeing such an admission in the Post.
But if the bloody shirt is as "persua-
sive" as you seem to think it is in an
election contest, why did you not wave
it last fall? And as you failed to do it,
then, suppose you try it on at the next
election in this county?
If it is a good electioneering dodge in
Ohio, it certainly should be used here.
You have "skillful veterans" in your
ranks, and beside, you might become
an adept at the business by practice.
We therefore request that your party
try it on, not only in this county, but
throughout the state-not because we
think it a manly act, but for the
reason that you can easily conjecture.

family of a nan in good standing $500

work which human heads and hands
can engage in is labor, SO the noblest

of those who make his wealth. There
