bushes and wrestling with the rocks,
turning them up hill this year and
down the next, and the crops CROWN |
the crevices between them.
Several of our people attended
the Peoples Party Convention at
Frankfort to nominate candidates for
Sheriff and Circuit Court Clerk and |
are satisfied with the result: South
Trimble for Circuit Court Clerk and
Ton Nhnata for GhhriR
after seeing a number Of votes
bought / came home without voting
for fear would get the reputation of
selling if my name went on the book. |
l am saving my vote for the regular
election for man who will not buy |
vote under any circumstances"
Our venerable sage is saving an
old ROUNDABOUT which he is going
to show to Mr.. John e. Miles.
There is very interesting story in
it that made our sage think it was

Munchausen never before published.
A citizen who watched the last
primary says it would be better to
sell the offices Of Sheriff and Circuit
Court Clerk by public sale at the
Court house door to the highest
bidder the proceeds to be turned into
the Treasury. The present system
gives all to bummers and fioaters,
while good citizens get nothing.
Some people have spoken very
harshly Of some of the candidates
for using money and whiskey, send
ing men home drunk to their fam
lilies. They are altogether too
severe. One party was as willing to
receive as the other to give and a
bribed voter has it's use. Suppose a
Jury was needed to clear a guilty
man or convict an innocent one when
can better men he got for the pur-
pose then in the ranks of the ''Sold
Out"
The election worker told one of
our people who went to vote that
"the other party are paying for votes
like fury at five and six dollars
apiece, after making arrangements
with us only this morning not to pay
over three dollars apiece. There
