Wheatley Times.

Tho health of our town is good and our genial doctor. N. P. Bcauchamp. docs not have to spoon out much medicine
 IL has been so wet this spring in these parts that the farmers are badly behind and the crops are very small. The farmers are down crops are like the Third party-in the grass ard need to be cleaned out well
 Everything is quiet in our little town. but of our justice Of the peace, Peter Bramel, who has an eye single to the county judgeship. By the way, the Third party would do well to nominate him for county judge.
 The Third party kids had mock conven- tioa last Saturday. Hon. Q. l.. Wa lker took the floor and explained the object of the meet ing. He stated the intention of tho national township convention was to elect two dcle- gates to the national county convention, and at this convention delegates would be elected to the national state convention. Next or der was to elect a permanent chairman. J. ". Poscy was placed in nomination by P. A. May, and Posey placed May in nomination. A No one voting for Posey, May received one vote and was declared elected permanent chairman. o. l. Walker placed J. K. West in in nomination for permanent secretary. West then placed Walker in nomination. West de- clined to net if nominated, and, voting for Walker. the latter was elected. The conven. member the call asked for the cooperation of all men. regardless of past political affiliations, but there had been book passed around for the signatures Of all who would support the nominees. J. F. West. who was young con vort, looked like the old jay that had had his tail pulled out. He wanted to know how many bobtaiied jays were present, Finding that the longtailed jays were about equal in number to them, he moved to fly to their hid ing place across the creek, where ho thought they would get achievements. It seems a little handful of bourbons had accepted the invitation and were present. They feared the bourbons would capture the convention, so they flew to the Posey schooihouse, where they could have a secret meeting. Yet, thcy call this democracy. What do you call it. Mir. Editor? They cry out democratic rings" but what is this7 It is worse-it is 9ideonism. when they lit, the old bObtaiied cock jay, Wm Manning, was there. He happed his wings and struted the floor, declaring he was party boss. The little band of nine that met at Wheatley had to rescind their action and swapped horses. Walker was elected chair man and May secretary. Messrs Poscy. ST.. and Manning. ST., were elected delegates to the county convention. The delegates are in- structed for J. B. Sutler for governor-a man whom everybody knows to have changed his and toes to his body. What does this Third party want and what is it doing? The leaders are old sorehead republicans and democrats hunting office. and that they will have, re- gardless of principle. They are running to every democrat and republican and promising is this if not bribery in the first degree? They cry out and howl around that there Is no hon. eety In the Democratic party. Is there any in the Third party1 or can thcre be any among a lot of bridersf l answer mo" and suggest that they pluck the beams out of their eyes before they attempt to pick the mote out of the eyes of democracy Success to THE TIMES and three cheers for the Democratic party and Fishback as its standard-bearer in Arkan- sas.
