good officer as the Hon. A c.. Bearss,
of Peru, postoffice inspector, with head
quarters at Cincinnati step down and
out to give place to democrat. Mr..

inspector and all that, but does he sup
pose that ell the fine inspectors are in
the republican party? He thought so
much of his fat place that he went to
Secretary Gresham, whom Bearss dubbed
renegade" last fall to obtain a
pull with the secretary. Bearss blub-
bered around. but it was all in vain.
He had to go. 1t is more than the re-

Brazil, Clay county, to serve term Tor
larceny, does not know what narrow

a brook, get burrs in your hair. have
your trousers stuck full Of Spanish
