MT. Blount, of Georgia, Dem.) Ut is the ablest paper he has ever produced
 MT. Thomas, of Illinois, Rep.1 p.1-The style Is decidedly sophomoric. No distinction is made between external and internal taxes; they are spoken of as a common burden. Taking the message as a whole, one is re- minded of that beatific state of philosophy and purity in which a disappointed office seeker finds himself when he contemplates the follies and frailities of mankind. It is really pitiful vail.

 THE SPEAKERSHIP CONTEST.
 There are now in the field three open can didates for speaker of the house of repre- sentatives of the Fifty-drst congress-Mc- Kinley of Ohio, Cannon of Illinois, and Reed of Maine. It is only within day or two that Mir. Reed and Mir. Mckinley have acknowledged themselves candidates. Now they are willing to admit that they are "in the hands of their friends, which is equiva- lent to an admission that they will make the fight. The friends of the other candidates say that MT. Reed is handicapped by the fact that he comes from the east. It was we'll enough, they say, to give him con- plimentary caucus nomination when the Re- publlcanS were Ill the minority, put they uo not think the Republican party can give the speakership to Maine under the existing political conditions. The contest between these candidates promises to be lively one, and there are several dark horses in the field ready to gain and make the race if the leaders are crowded off the track.

The Military Entertainment.
[Ruston Caligraph.l

(Ruston Caligraph.l
The entertainment given by our
military boys Friday night was, in the
opinion of those who attended, a sue
cess. The competitive drill was highly
entertaining and was quite crcditable,
considering the short time the boys
have been practicing. The contest
narrowed down one by one, from
twelve originally to Messrs. w. p.
Griffin and M. S. Standifer, Griffin
finally winning the prize, which was a
handsome cake.
Tho music was supplied by Misses
Eva Slaton, Florence Hodge, Lou
Slaughter, Sallic Standifer and Mrs.
W. f. Ashley, and was of the very
best in quality and abundant in guam
tity. The fact alone that these ladies
would furnish the music was suffi-
cent guarantee of its superior excel
ence.
Miss Sallic Standifer was chosen
sponsor for the company and presented
with the company's colors, a handsome
scarf of old gold and purple, by Mr.. G.
X. Lewis with the accustomed speech
of presentation she accepted with .
handsome littic speech in reply.
The refreshments consisted of ice
cream, cake aud lemonade and yielded
quite handsome little revenue to the
evenings receipts which amounted to
$3.50 gross.
