The Meridional. (Abbeville, La.) 1856-1906, 1893-10-07

Senator Stewart of Nevada, made
a holy show of himself last week in
attempting to defame the character
of President Cleveland. Such ruses
as this were employed in Jackson's
time and they ANONYMOUSLY failed.
The Meridional. (Abbeville, La.) 1856-1906, 1893-10-07

i is said that there is a great de-
mand for dwelling houses 10 Morgan
City, and not a single house is va
cant 10 the limits of the town. We
can say almost the same thing of
Abbeville. While there are two
stores that are not occupied, yet, we
believe hat there is scarcely a
dwelling house that can be leased in
town. The time is coming when
large lots in the corporation will
have to be subdivided VITA a view
OF furnishing accommodations for
those who desire to settle in this
town, and the outskirts will have to
be built up more densely than they
are now, for the same purpose.

Ed Horn and his better y went to
Shoofv Saturday Marriage has had a
great and beneficial effect upon Ed, and
he is really sociahle since having his
.'eye teeth cut''--or whatever you've a
mind to call it.
All the citizens Of Contention are in
good humor this week, because the wei
come little GLoRE got here Saturday, on
time--the first for several weeks. 1t is
our bible over here, and were it not for
its weekly visits, our people would soon
grow up in superstition and ignorance.
We learn that A. S. McAllister has
gone to Salem to lobby for an open river
and the new county Of Mitchell. Go it,
Mac, we are all with you. While you
are at it, just "lob" a bin through an
nulling the Indebtedness Act, also kill
the mortgage tax law. Let every man
pay tax on what is in sight, aud the
levy in this county will not be u mills.
When such firms as Gilman, French 4
Co do not pay 81 tax, it certainly is
time to kick. Let us hear from others
on this subject. BunLs-EYE

A number Of our grangers attended
the Grange Council at Fossil Saturday.
They seem determined to knock the Or
egon militia ''iu the head" B. X. Scar
cy is in a queer fix" He has hank
ering to be soldier for Uncle Sam, and
he also wants TO be granger--and he
can't be both.
p. A. Fry experienced runaway one
day this week. He was hauling water
with span Of thoroughbred "Rattlers,'
and the animals thinking they were too
fine-blooded for such common work, con-
cluded to try their speed. And the way
they made the sparks and fur fly for
about Is minutes was amazing. They
were caught before any damage was
done, however. GRANGER.

T. IF. Pullen moved his family to town
Tuesday, 50 as TO be near school.
Billy Brown has traded off his buck
board, and most every day now he can
be seen riding round OH his sulkey plow.
Our farmers are scraping the rust off
their old plows, hunting cleyises, etc,
preparatory TO turning over the dark
rich loan hereabouts.
Sheep all over the country are In ex-
cellent condition, but there are great

Our Sunday School literature was de-
layed last week, and Sunday we all rus
tied up our bibles (that Is, those who
keep such articles) and "went after" the
lesson in the old-fashioned style; and
some pronounced IL the best meeting OF
the year.
Mr.. VIM. White passed here Tuesday
with the remains OF his deceased wife,
which will be buried on his fathers
place at Paper Sack, Much sympathy
is felt for Mr. White, as he has three
email children to care for, and to such,
mothers place can scarcely be filed.
Another real estate deal Ed Wine
land traded an old horse and an old hack
to John Il Johnson for an old horse and
lot In our burg. We hope Mr.. Wine
land will improve the property and not
allow 1t to 90 To rack and be used for o
gambling dive, like II has been Of late.
A series OF revival meetings will COM
mence at this place dext Sunday. All
the old chronic free-thinkers, etc, are
expected to be present; and it is further
expected that they will get the carbun'
,,cles knocked off Of them, so their make

The County Court last week, with its
usual good judgment, very properly des-
gnated the GLOBE the official paper Of

The othertwo county papers also applied

ous fight for it. Jno. A. Brown Of the

bulldog, remaining at the county seat
all week, boring the court upon the sub
ject. In order to try his usual manner
Of "bulldozing," he even fled com
plaint OF fraud against the GLOBES list
that was filed with the clerk. The court
were accorded the privilege Of examin-
ing our books, and found that they cor
responded exactly with the list given.
The GLOBE has over one hundred more
bona fide subscribers in Gillian county
than either OF the other papers; and we
believe that bad they confined their
lists to actual 5oaa fde subscribers, the
GlNBE can outnunlber them to l.

Butler citizen. [volume] (Butler, Pa.) 1877-1922, 1893-06-09

THE newspaper press is mighty in
ticians and statesmen 1t sometimes be-
slows reputation upon those who deserve
it not and takes away from the deserving
even that which he hath. The average
county constituency imagines its members
OF Assembly do not amount to anything
because they are seldom noticed by the
press, and conceive the notion that the
city members are great men because they
receive mention. Itcomes about in this
way; Only the leading papers have cor
respondents at Harrisburg. These CORE
spondents naturally pay more attention to
the members from their own city than to
home men. The city papers circulate
in the country, and the country people,
seeing the names OF the city members used
often in bold headlines, conclude that they
are the mighty men of Judea.
Another thing: City members know that
| if they serve their constituents faithfully
and make a creditable showing they viii
be returned as often as they will serve
They thus become more and more compe-
tent each successive term. But the coun-
ty member as a rule feels that, no matter
what he does, he cannot be reelected
without hard fight, and perhaps not al
all. He realizes that his constituents will
not look at the matter in a business sense,
but will regard the Office as a charity to b.
passed around, and say it is not his turn
next time.
Thus the budding genius of the countr.
member is nipped by the frosts of ingrati
tude before it gets time to blossom an
bear uit.-PuRIsutdcney Spirit.
