NEARLY every town in the state, according to our state exchanges, has from one to fifteen applicants and candidates for the various postoffces, which are to be distributed under the new government, It is very general. in fact unexceptional opinion, that the post offices should be given to all-wool- n nd yard wide-copper-bottom democrats. who have, like patriots, devoted their time and energies to the welfare and success of the party.

THE Alma Democrat publishes the follow ing roast" in its last issue: If the business men in Alma want the Democrat to continue in business at the old stand, they must give 1t a better support. We have done our best for the benefit of the town, thinking that the people would come to our support after while and we have built up good subscription list. hoping thereby to merit living advertising patronage. In this We have been fooled. for out of thirty-three men doing business in Alma. we have but eight regular advertisers. There is not q man in the town but who will frankly admit that a newspaper is the life of any town. but when you ask him to patronze the paper he begins to crawfish and mako ex- cuses. A newspaper cannot live always on AS thin diet as wind and the Democrat does not propose to undertake that job. We give you as good paper as is issued in the county. and if you want us to continue doing so you must patronize it. if not we will, ,on or about Janu- ary l. move the outfit to another aud more en- terprising section. Tbis is not intended as a bluff. friends, but is simply statement Of facts" The above is applicable to any town where stinginess and misdirected economy are the chief stock of the merchants.

SPEAKING of patience. If the patriot who is famous for this article had a larger stock than the democrats of Jonesboro. we should like to have met him. A deputy United States marshal at that place named Ben Nesbit. in open violation of the state law, passed iu and out of the polling room and otherwise dis played himself. The Craighead County Sun says of the affair: While it was in open viola ton of the state law the state authorities thought best to not arrest him as long as he did not make himself obnoxious, and let the grand-jury give the case attention. Of course he had no duties to perform, as our election passed of, as it always does, with every voter voting his own sentiments without molestas tion. But the act of itself was banter to the state authority and was galling to any citizen who first loves his state then his country"
