Disgraceful Forgery Of a Letter
Attributed to Ben Durr, of
Fulton, Mo.

At the shank of the campaign,
the Republicans r doing some
very dirty work, indeed. The
distribution of anonymous cir
culars concerning Hon. D.. R.
Francis, which is going on
throughout this section, is an ex-
ample that is but characteristic OF
those who have the matter in
charge.
Another instance of Republican
methods is found in the Patriot
this week. The following letter,
purporting to be from Ben Durr,
of Fulton, appears as a part of an
editorial in that paper:
FULTON, Mo-, Oct. 15.-MR.
FRANK TERRY-DEAR SIR:-Why
don't you get particulars of that
sheep stealing case i'll which r. II.
Norton figured some years ago in
Troy? Tom Moore at Troy had a
flock of sheep stolen by Norton's
father and r. II. Norton help
ed Moore clear out of them to
save his fathers reputation. A
shooting scrape grew out of it also.
DIR. d. w. Tice and Tom Moore,
Troy, Mo-, "a give you the par
t~iulcars.

Respectfully

DEN DURR.
Mr.. Durr sent this telegram
to the LEDGER Immediately upon
receipt of the Patriot:
To X NJ. Whine, Mexico.
FULTON, Mo-, Oct. 27.-Letter in
Patriot this week over my name is
a forgery. BEN DURR.
1t is hardly necessary to say
anything about such a trick as this.
Sensible voters will read such rot
only with disgust. The LEDGER
simply advises its readers to believe
nothing they e of this character
in the future, emanating, as it does,
from such a questionable source.
1t can truly be asked: "What is
the g. o. P. coming to ?"

A PARTHIAN ARROW.

Last Friday the Louisville Times
contained the following special from
Frankfort:
"Mr. Hendrick called up the bill
amending the charter of Hopkinsville
and dividing the town into wards.
The second reading of the bill was
objected to by Mr.. Lunsford who
said that the bill pertained to his dis
trict and that he was opposed to it.
Mr.. IIendrick said that 80 per cent.
of the best people of Hopkinsville
were in favor of the bill. Mr.. Trip
lett said that if the Senator from the
district was opposed to it, he would
stand by him. Mr.. Hays was SINH
larly inclined. Mr.. Clay's motion 10
make the bill a special order was
lost"
Thus our Ward bill was laid to
rest. There were enough Democratic
boobies in the Senate, who preferred
TO make salaam to Senator Lunsford
than to accede to the request and
further the interest of "95 per cent.
of the best people" of this town,to de-
feat the bill. If there ever was peo-
pie who felt thoroughly outraged
over this insanity of legislative cour-
tesy, it is our people. The citizens Of
this town made an honest effort to
secure good local government; they
appealed TO our law-making power
for assistance, and lot of dupes and
billiards, cringing to that sceptered
idiot, Legislative courtesy" and 9TH
ers obeying the pull of the string of
q lot of men who owned them, abso-
lutely refused to listen TO our de-
mands.
Sebree and Lunsford did shrewd
piece of work in hoodwinking these
boobies in the face of the repeated
appeals Of our people through dele
cations of representative citizens and
otherwise and if these fellows can
appreciate the Indignation OF the cit
liens of Hopkinsville, or ifthey think
our censure sufficiently important TO
be noticed, they certainly must real
&c that they have rendered them
selves obnoxious in the eyes of the
majority of the best people of this
county. There is but one thing they
AN do now that will be at all agree
bile and that is to adjourn at the
EARLIEST opportunity.
We realize that we have no means
f revenge, but standing on the solid
ointment of our citizens we will let I
y this Parthian arrow: Any of
lose men who thought more of !
courtesy" than they did of the in i
rests of our city, should they ever +
IN for a state office, had as well q
ave Christian off of their list. We a
ave them spotted, and when oppor- 4,
nifty arises we will enjoy the sweet
sss of revenge.

Digging For Gold.

One night last week while the soft
eyed moon was casting her sweet sill
vered glanoes through the fragrant
spring verdure, an asylum official
noticed small company of negro
men with picks and shovels STEALTH
'ly at work in the field opposite the
asylum grounds near the culvert.
These proceedings were kept up for
several nights and the mystery ex-
cited investigation. Operations were
suspended in the day time, and only
by the pale light of the moon would
tkey work. Frr
The story goes that our colored
friends were told by some one that
during the war travelling preacher
had buried large amount of gold at
this place. The secret was kept with
