sorts of absurd charges against his op-
ponent and promises of what he will
do for the ''dear people" if elected.
Mr.. Taylor said in his speech here
that he should ask no man to vote for
him. Sensible men will be likely to
approve the dignilied position of Mr..
Taylor rather than the buttonholing
method of Mr.. Putnam. Ia the case
of Mr.. Taylor it is the Office seeking

perate chase after the office.

PRICE, 5 GENTS.
HE WEAKENED.

Old John HcnAn, of Coon Range Ky, witnessed the other night at Mo- Vicker's theatre tho performance of "Midsummer Nights Drcam." Old John Ia not dramatic critic. Indeed. before thls lucky stroke of art came down upon him, hls only witness of dramatic performances WAS tho "sohol. arss of Mount Ebcncexcr church, who. proud and lmperlous, talked of tho flowing lines of Shakespeare, and, dWwling, callcd out the limplng num- bers of young Pollock's "Course of Time"
 Attor tho old fellow had taken his seat, lust In that chatling timo betwccn the orchestra's grumbllng music and the curtains shutillpg riso, a fellow of low-mindcd cast whispered io the countryman that tho whole thing was a sell.

 "I reckon have been A drlnkin' n lee tle too much O that ntuff."

A MURDEROUS JOKE.

The south is the land of pranks. There the joker reigns with a sort of supreme importance. The practical joke is the gem of enjoyment. One mans perplexity is another mans haw haw. In some of the "out of the way towns" of Tennessee the practical joke, no matter how severe it may be upon the victim, is the soul of humor and the heart of much laughter. In the remote towns the following is a favorite joke: A stranger, MT. Jones, comes to town. The jokers, after studying him, decide that he is game. Several men, armed with loud mouthed shot-guns, go out of town at evening and secrete themselves in the woods near the roadside. One of the best known men in the village, a man who has made himself particu- larly agreeable to MT. Jones, ap- breaches him one evening and says:
 "Jones, you remember me. My name is Thompson. We are very much pleased that you have paid our town a visit, and we propose to make your stay among us as pleasant as possible. Nearly aE the boys have gone out this evening, having had pre- vious engagements, and have detailed me to see that you spend the time pleasantly. Of course you know that we have no places of amusement"
 MT. Jones, not being blind, says @yes".
 "You cannot find city entertain ment in . country town"
 MT. Jones says: aOf course not"
 "Tell you what we will do,D Mir. Thompson remarks. "We will take . stroll out into the country. We may not see anything thrilling, but we can at least enjoy the fresh air and the per- tune of the wildwood blossoms"
 MT. Jones says that such . stroll would delight him. He ays that he is poet without expression, and that the scent of the woods when the even ing-tide ripens the air with its mel
