Grim visaaed death has beeu among

and comrads beloved and respectad bv

familiar face Will be sorsly missed.

commander.in-ohief Of this department,
For the past week our strests have
been full Of teams hauling all kinds Of
building materials, and we are glad to
see that our neigEbor, John NJ. New
bold, at Newport Is getting bis share Of
the trade.
There 10 not much doing IN politics
ont this way just now Oh either side.
Since the withdrawal Of John I. Dickey
from tho "shsrifIalty race" We think
Purnal Lynch will got the bulk Of the
vote here. Ips astonishing how many
friends Robert J. Reynolds, the Demo.
cratic candidate for Governor, has In
this community. The local Democracy
seem to think that he Is the only candi-
date which they can ''enthuse'' over.
Than II they should happen to be beaten

Our friend, the '.Lone Fisherman, !"
certainly has some queer ideas in re.
CARDS to the effect of So called protection.
He says that by protecting the works In
which 5000, 600 people iron and wool
workers, ETC. are interested in enables
10, 000,00 other people Carpenters,
painters and other trades) to earn better
| wages, etc. This IL clear case Of the
e.tall wagging the dog" Of which we
have often heard, but never saw demon
strated before. But assuming, for argu-
ment sake, that such an unnatural state
| OF things does exist, ''that water docs
run up HILL" and s'tbe brake does make
the train 20 faster" from whence come
these extra bsnefitsi From the 40, 000, 600
tarinersl We are forced to think so
from the amount OF kicking they are
doing Of late. Come, brother, Its tho
old, old story, we don't care continen-
tai what becomes of the other fellow as
long as we are al right.
As public Instructor, moulder of
public opinion and chroniclcr OF public
events, we seldom stop to answer crti-
cfsins, ss we must be ca!lous to all such.
But 40 silence might be misconstruod,
will say TO our "PrChibitton" friend,
who took some exceptions to remarks In
my last communication, that / car
hardly credit the facts as he states them.
But come, friend, don't get excited
when answering . communication; keel

ly expression ''asking no favors anc
fearing no irowns." But don't take th

some OF us forget ut times those stirini
words enunciated by Thomas Jefferson
in the Declaration OF Independence
which should be epgraven on every tru,
American heart, I. e.; i've hold tlief,
truths 10 be self-eyident, that all mel
are created equal, that they are endowed
by their Creator with certain unalieuabl,
rights, that among these are l.f', lib
erty and the pursuit OF hapriness."
regret that our friend Ia not acquainted
with Mrs. Jellyby to appreciate tho grea
lesson the immortal author intended t.
convey.
That was . miraculous catch of fsl
the "Lone FshermaL" was telling u
about last week.
But alasl that day the fisherman"
Had taken too much 'tgrog;"
And his tongue was little Timber,
And his brain was like fog.
