last Tuesday Bro. Cotton is
rustler and We viii be pleased to
have him call again.
The legal business seems to be
on the boom this week. Justice
Talbott's court has been busy grind
ing out Equity to all. The legal
talent Of Nicodemus figured con-
spicously among the attorneys.
The business men Of cur town
have established an Immigration
union and at an early date will have
out circular describing the advan-
tages offered by our section, Every
thing points to the coming spring
as one Of unusual activity and we
hope to secure our share Of the
pluck and enterprise that will seek
for location in our state.
The Young Mems Republican
Club met Thursday eve and tenn
porarily organized with G. ".
Jones as president and J. G. B.
Lewis as Secretary. 4 Committee
Of five was appointed on Constitut-
ION and Bylaws, A report is ex-
pected by next week, when the club
Will be permanently organized. The
object is TO get every voter in the
township and be thoroughly organi-
zed for the battle that will be fought
next fall. Let every republican
turn out and give the Club the bene-
fit of his IDEAS AMI experience.
As we go to press we learn that
the County Commissioners are in
session canvassing the petition call
ing an election between Millbrook
and Hill City. The fraud and dirty
work that has so far attended this
county seat fight has given our
county an uneneviable reputation
for far and near. We hope this
canvass Will lie conducted fairly and
squarely and the result arrived at
will be the untrammelled Will Of the
majority Of tie citizens Of Graham
county. The CYCLONE is for Hill
City, but if chicanery and perjury
are necessary to win, we give notice
that we are out Of the fight.
4 recent letter to parties In this
town confirms the report OF the bull
doing methods in the late city ele:t-
ion Of Jackson, Miss. The old old
story the whites were compelled TO
unite to protect their lives and
property. OF course the negro's
siGe Of the story will gain very lit
tie credence, for have not the Miss
issippi Congressman arisen and in
vited investigation? Then it is so
easy to make the generous North
believe that carpe. bag politicians
conc0cted the whole affair to use
next fall. 1t may seem not very
patriotic, but if no other means
viii work, we favor a reduction Of
representation in Congress Of every
state where the vote of It's citizens
is suppressed.
The many friends Of cur esteem
ed merchant I. ". Sample met at
his residence last Tuesday eve to
congratulate his excellent lady and
himself upon the 10th anniversary
of their wedding. After listening to
the ceremony performed by Rev.
Samuels the company adjourned 10
the dining room where rich cola
ton was served, All present voted
the occasion q success ami several
old bachelors were seen to leave re-
Iuctantly with gO-thou-and-do like
wise look on their faces. The
CYCLONE wishes the excellent couple
continuation Of prosperity.
