George gets CSC votes TO Barksdale's
800. During the exciting campaign
George had not appeared in the coun-
ty. while Darksdale had made has
speech at Macon, by invitation of the
eubtreasury politicians = falsely called
The farmers alliance.
So purely agricultural is Noxubee
that ii is certain that out of $50 white
voters, less that 100 are engaged Who'll.
ly in other pursuits than agriculture,
yet George beat Barksdale more than
two to>one. 1t is sure, then, that the
farmers of Noyubcc have stood by
their great lcadcr-and there being
nothing peculiar about the farmers OF
NoXubec distinguishing them from
,iro FARMERS OF tho stpto gnnnrally this
action is a pretty good indication that
the farmers of the state are with the
farmers of Noxubee in sympathy with
the grand old commoncr.

the Noxubcc primary election Oh July

FOR UNITED sTATEs SENATE.

This tells the tale of the sub.treas

believe that if Walthali had been q
candidate and his name Oh the ticket.
The Noxubecitish democratic farmers
would have showed under their fell
low.county-man and congressman TO
emphasize their appreciation of the {
great services OF the present senators, /
and their adherence of so wild 4
scheme as the sub-treasury. Besides
Barksdale's speaking in Noxubec, Mr.,
Lewis had made two set speeches, and t
the Kansas apostle, Willets, had been c
imported, and spoke in the county to C
an immense audience of farmers.
