his .crowds have teen
growing beautifully less,
there being less than one hum
dred to hear him at each
place. He realizes fully the
factthat Judge Fowlecreated
great enthusiasm in the
West. These circumstances
cause him to know and feel
his defeat, and he shows. it
plainly.
He is aware ofthe fact that
his siforts are failures and ha:
camnoth help showing II on
all occasions.
Hon. W. H.Kitchen'swork
in the West has been produc
tive Of great good, and his
success is remarkable. He
has done more for Democrat
ic principles and in correct
ing and denouncing the sland
ers OF Dockery & Co. than
any other orator who has
ever canvassed these noun
tains.
Z Nothing absolutely is to
to be feared from the Democ-
racy OF the West. 1t is true
an the needle to the pole. All
the talk about the internal
revenue defeating the Demo-
cratic party is bosh and non
sense. They understand
thoroughly the demagoary
hypocracy on this point OF
the Republican platform of
Chicago and HWrrison's let
ter of acceptance. All the
better class Of the white peo-
pie Of this part Of the State
belong to the Democratic
party. All the desefters,
'buffaloes, rag-tag and bob
tail Of these mountains be-
long to the Republican par
ty. The wealth, the intelli-
gence, morality and christ
ianity are largely on the side
to'the Democracy.
The west will be free from
independents during the
coming election, and is true
to the present system OF
county government as the
Democracy OF the east. In
our opinion ii the present
system ofNcounty govern
ment is ever abolished it will
be done by the east and not
by the west.
We know the Democ'
racygo Of the west will never
turn over the eastern coun.
ties to the mercies of Negro
rule. y The white menEof the
west Are as true and as loya
to the Democracy Of the east
as the east can be to itself
There is no dissatisfaction il

A LOVED ONE GONE,

1t is with feelings of the saddest
regret that we notice the death Of
Mrs. Emma Jones, widow of the
late Capt. I NJ Jones, who died
on last Monday night. Mrs. Jones
for a long time has been a great
sufferer from disease, but with a
patience that was truly beautiful to
witness she bore with fortitude the
pains incidental to her stay here
She leaves an orphaned family, who
will long miss the tender endear-
ments that most lovingly emanated
from this affectionste mother. Tru-
ly we extend to each of the bereav-
ed ones the sympathies OF feeling
hearts.

Case of Retybution.

Years ago in Nebraska, an aged
woman, named Mary Sharon, had
decided all her property to her son.
William, on the understanding
that he was to support her AMI do
much for her during her natural
life. In a little while the son be-
came tired of his aged mother and
turned her out of doors to die of
hunger and exposure. William
Sharon had the character of a dess
perate and revengeful man, and
all stood in fear of him, The
aged mother sought redress from a
lawyer who took the case with the
full understanding that he had to
deal with desperate and unfeel>
ing man. This lawyer met the son
and eudeavored to prevail upon
him to do Justice to his aged moths
er, but the son instead of meeting
the matter in a spirit of fairness,
cursed his mother, the law and
everything else, and wound up
with: Now then go ahead. The
minute you make trouble for me,
I'll make corpse of you" The
lawyer replied: "Now you look
here, as he brought a six-shooter
to 20 er Sharon's head, "I'm in
this case to the bitter end, and
whenever you feel like shooting,
don't wait for me to begin
, Sharon was a boaster and a
coward. He turned white as -four,
and became as humble as a lamb,
but left the office with vengeance
written on his face, and the lawyer
realized that he would bring about
his death if he could dc SO with
safety to himself. On the day just
before the suit WAS to come to trial
Sharon endeac0red to revenge him
self upoh the lawyer 10y going into
the lawyers Office during his abs
sence and letting loose two rattle
snakes, so that they might attack
him upon his return, but in his
haste he had been careless, and as
the serpents were loosened they
turned on him fastened their fangs
III his flesh. He rushed ont OF
the room with two great rattle
snak' S hanging to him --one by the
rig t wrist and the other by the
nit leg. Sharon rushed out

street and rolled over and over,
and the snakes let go of him and
were killed as they crawIed away.

THE IRON KING.
MY DEAR, PRAY NOW WHAT
SHALL WE DO!"

Once asked my loving wife;
We have no cook, you know, now
To stem the kitchens strife;
This STOPPING aud cooking
Over fires large and hot,
Is perplexing and vexing,
Oh who has telt It not?
The labors of the kitcheb,
Since our negroes went away,
Were both roilsome and irksome,
And still are so to-day;
Can't: you tighten and brighten
This load of heavy care,
That distresses, Expresses,
And drives me to despair?"
Said I, "I'll go to FULToN's
And there stove I'll buy,
No matter what the price is,
An IRON KING I'll try;
Then roasting and toasting,
Will not wear away your life,
But Il pleasure and a treasure
Be to you my angel wife,"
So down to town hurried,
Almost as quick as thought.
And there from JOHN A. FULTON,
An IRON KING | bought;
And now broiling AMI boiling
Are the sweetest works in life,
No more caring, despairing,
Distresses now my wife.
Farewell, we dirty negroes,
I'm Independent now,
For wife can do the cooking,
With a smile upon her brow;
No whining, no repining,
No angry threatenings ring,
But my meals now, reveal now,
How cheap is IRON KING.
So now if you'd appease
A weary, suffering wife,
Her kitchen trials set at ease,
Secure stove for life;
It'll warm you and charm you,
Drive discomfort away,
Both your wife then, aud life then,
Prove sweet as flowers of May.
The above are the sentiments of
at least one hundred men, in this
and adjoining, countiesS;O whom l
(and II. S. Lee betoreme) have sold
the celebrated Iron King Stoves. l
am contident-and they all agree
with me that they are the best
Stoves in the world. | remember
