Madison, and the explanation of his
name on the collins was easy enough.
He had ordered the bodies of some dead
friends to be sent home from the battle
field, and the rough outside collins were
simply directed to him. This was all
natural enough, so went to my state

All arc calm and sarean now, and if they stay that way, "Our Tom" will have jolly good thing of it. He can say that he got there by larger majority than any man has ever had, in tbis Con. gressional district. l hope that all things will work out with peace and harmony, aud the Democrats will come out with theIr head up and tail over the dashboard, for they hung their head and Topped their ears in September and some of them were the sickest of the sick and there was no "balm in gidead nor no physician there; 1t was past and signed and sealed that they were left out in the cold. Turp about is fair play. l some. times think it is best to swap about so one party can see what the Oth- CT has done, and if they have not plumbed the line, they will be sure and tell it, and the people will know what has been done. wish that Judge Hale would make a statement in the PICAYUNE, eX' actly how the county stands and him and Terry sign it. Then the people would know that it was cor rect, and then when Pittman come out let him do the same, and we will know what we are doing. The office pays enough for them to do this, and think that it would be a good thing if we had law to that effect, and then everybody would have the facts as to how the county stood.

 l will give you few verses of poetry on the "Devil and his Law yer,r and then l will leave you you for the present.
 THE DEVILL AND HIS LAWYER. The Devil came up to the earth one day, And to the court house wendeG his way Just as an attorney, with very grave face, Was proceeding to argue 'the points in the
 case"
 Now, lawyer his majority never had scea For in his doninions none ever had been; And he felt very angry, the reason to know Why none had been sent to the regions be-
 low.
 Twas the fault of his agents, his majesty
 thought,
 That none of those lawyers had ever been
 caught,
 And for his own pleasure he felt desire, To come to the earth and the reasou ina uire. Well, this lawyer who rose with yisage so grave, Made his opponent a consumnate knaye; And the Devil was then greatly amused, To hear the attorney so loudly abused. But as soon as the speaker had conc to |"
 close,
 The counsel opposing him licrccly arose And hcapcd such abuse on the head or the first,
 As made him william of all men the worst Thus they quarrclled, contcndcd and argued
 so long,
 Twas hard to determine which one was
 wrong,
 And concluding he'd heard quite enough of
 the fuss,
 "Old Nick turned away and solloquized
 thus:
 If all they have said of each other be true, The Devill has surely bceen robbed of his
 due;
 But I'm satisfied now that its all very we'll, For these lawyers would ruin the morals of
 hell.
 They have puzzled the court with their
 yilionous cavil, And Pm free to courcss that they have pug
 zlcd the Devil
 My agents are right to let lawyers alone, If had them they'd swindlo me out of my
 throne.
