Out in Tyler county there is weeping
and waiing and crashing of teeth
among the Republican faithful because
Boss G.. Wesley Atkinson saw fit to go
over to Centreville to secure census
enumerator for Middlebourne. 1t will

race; and there is 'Fud' McGinniS with
his mule In common fairness it seems
that if the mule is nominated this time
it ought to be without "Fud." The
mule didn't have fair chance two
years ago.

from the Elk Garden NclcS, and Mr.. ID.
c. Arnold assumed his duties. The
