ously hurt.
A quarryman by the name of McIntire is
reported to have had the jimjams last week

Fred Reynolds is going to Pine Bluff,
Ark, and perhaps further south. We are
sorry to lose him.

A petition was circulated last week, and
signed by almost all the citizens of Annapo-
lis, looking toward the incorporation of the
town. murphy" did not see the petition,
but, from the best Information that we can
gather, about thirty families are included
within the proposed limits, while nine are
left out that could have been included by
taking in little less than forty acres OF
ground more than the proposed limits in
clude. Your correspondent is left out.
We can stand in our door yard and throw

yet so far!"
We are glad to see in the 1rnth a card
from Fred Robertson, stating that he is not
"Jake:" not that we suspected Mr.. Robert
son, but it shows the contemplate cowar
dice of a man who hides behind false name
to SANDER people and lets other bear the
blame until they feel compelled to deny any
connection with it.
The Truth contained communication from
Thos. Callahan last week which that paper
is kind enough to call "Murphy's" attention
to. Last week we spoke of Mr.. Callahan's
article on the tariff as being full of sound
sense. We might have also added Democ-
racy. / suppose it was written durn- one
of Mr.. Callahan's lucid moments, as hi last
article shows that he has fallen back into the
same old groove. What ever else might be
said of his last article, it is thoroughly Re-
publican. "Whatever isis right, twill apply
as well to the spirit of MIR. Callahan's letter
as the objects or subjects to which he sought
to apply it. 1t is right that Mr.. Callahan
should resort to calumny and vituperation.
instead of argument, as his letter should be
in harmony with its surroundings. Reason
and argument seldom appear in Republican
papers: which is right, as no man putteth
new wine in an old bottle.
The beautiful letter of j ohm 5. Clarkson to
the Republican Leagues, at Cincinnati, may
sound well to those who are living on the fat
of the land, but Phi warrant Il L audience of
lahorers dressed in brogan shoes and over
alls would not manifest such enthusiasm ov-
er such letter. But now that the nabobs
add constantly to the supply, no wonder
they want to change the subject. All right,
Mr.. Clarkson. fight it out on the lines laid
down in your dispatch, and when the votes
are counted in November, 1892, there won't
be enough of your party left to start a good
camp meeting. The poor of this country
want relief from taxation, and relief they
in their way and endeavors to divert their
attention from the real issue will soon be
relic of the past. MURPHY.
