of some political scalawag. do
not wonder at the "Simon-pure"
Democrat thinking there is some
thing rotten in Denmark, when
four-year. old has made that discov.
cry in Wayne county. 1t is gen
orally supposed that men who run
for office get the profits thereof, but
it is not always the case in this
county, for it takes ali the salary and
fees of full term of some officers to
release the deeds of trust that some
of The "Simons" have to give to
their relatives and friends to secure
office, and the same men want TO
be called Alpha and Omega; but
another name can be found for them
this side Of Georgia. They appear
for office without merit, just as they
appear in the columns of the "Ring
paper" without name. If l was a

Now the pair of four year olds,
We Democrat "Ring editor" are
well broken; work in double or
single harness and will pull every
time the command is given; so you
see they will work; and as to their
support, they board with their
wives, but that is a common thing

Now, will say to the narrow
contracted brain pan, who wrote the
article in the Meas, not to talk of
absurdities, Inconsistencies and de-

great portion of our people, without
