condiments and appetizers, and we
don't know of anything so stimulat-
ing to the appetite when crow is on
the bill Of fare than a good old-fash-
Toned democratic platform to sauce it
with. We don't know when there
ever was better sauce for crow than
there is this year, and the democrat
who can't stand up to this lunch and
keep it quiet in his stomach with the
aid of such seasoning ought to be
made to eat roots and dead leaves for
the rest of his life, or to feed upon the
husks WHICH the republican swine do
eat. We honestly believe if the
democratic party would always serve
its crow as it has this year, that it
would not be long before Craven on
toast" would be found on the menu
of all our fashionable restaurants. At
any rate crow is not so bad as some
people seem to think, and it is a great
deal better this summer than it usu-
ally is. Those who don't like it for
the meat can eat it for the sauce.
Anyhow it is better to eat crow with
the brethren than to 60 over to the
republican table where there is never
anything but buzzard.

The truly wonderful effect produced by
DR.. Alexander B. Wilbor's Compound OF
Pure Cod.Liver Oil and Phosphates renders
it beyond doubt the most perfect prepare.
ton of its kind known today.
Consumption, coughs, colds, asthma, dc.
bility, wasting diseases and all scrofulous
humors disappear under its influence. 1t is
almost as palatable as cream. 1t can be
taken with pleasure by delicate persons and
children, who, after using it, become very
fond of it. 1t assimilates with the food,
increases the flesh and appetite, builds up
the nervous system, restores energy to
mind and body, creates new, rich and pure
blood, in fact, reiuyenates the whole system,
flesh, blood, nerve, brain. This preparation
is far superior to all other preparations of
cod.liver oil; it has many imitators, but no
equals. The results following its use are its
best recommendations. Be sure, as you
value your health, and get the genuine.

True Grit.

The Obion Democrat, which was
one of Gov. Taylor's bitterest oppo-
nents prior to the convention, evinces
its unswerving allegiance to the
barty by hosting the name of the
nominee to its masthead, and stand
ing squarely up to him. Here are
a few specimen bricks from its last
editorial column:
Pass the crow!
The Democrat is sad, but is not
mad.
God bless our good old Democratic
stomach.
No true soldier will ever surrender,
or give aid and comfort to the enemy
because he don't like his captain.
The Republicans will swagger and
buster around and swear they will
elect the next Governor, but Bob,
Our Bob, if you please, like the bed
bug, will"git thar just the same'"1a
Many Democrats declare they will
not vote for Bob, but the great ma
jority of them will come around all
