Mr.. T. b. Whitledge, Republican
for Congress in this district,
spoke to a small crowd at Workman's
Hall ON Saturday evening last. He
wanted everybody to stand up for a
New Missouri. Now, gentlemen, do as
he babe you: go to the polls and vote
for Bill Warner, the man who can Rod
MAMIE enough votes to elect himself,
if necessary. and you'll find out the diff
ference between a man of his caliber
and Col. VIM. j. Stone by and by. An
old farmer once bought a COW and calf
in the vicinity in which we were living
in Illinois, and while driving.them home
he met a bull, and the calf, to be lit
tie contrary, turned round and took
after the bull. The old farmer started
after the calf, but not being feet enough
On foot gave up the chase in disgust,
and finally yelled out, go it you d-n
fool! You'll find out the difference at
time!" And so it will be with
those who vote to elect such men as
these fellows clamoring for New
the difference will soon be
found out. NOVICE.
