IL AN ERA OF GOOD FEELING
severely executed and where detectives
are expected to watch whole county
apiece. 49,
Already the governor has been required
to use cash register, and even his
friends regard this as an Indication that
the state treasurer will have to sit up
nights when business is good and watch
the governor.
Ten cases Of apollinaris were received
here yesterday, and it was noticed that
when opened they did not pop. There
has been an era of good feeling ever
since. Northern and southern guests |
have shaken hands and even Rugged each |
other in some instances while talking |
over the late war.
Some said they were glad of it. One
South Carolinian said it turned out just
as he knew it would from the start.
"Oh, no." said q man from Massachu-
sets, trying to sit on the mantelpiece,
"the north could have been whipped 40
times in so many weeks if the south had
read the papers, and I am sorry it was
not done, for we never had such fun be-
fore the war as we are having now"
eve were wrong from the START" said
the southern man. "We should have
taken the niggers back to where we got
them and paid Africa $50 per month for
their time. I saw that all the while.
Then there would have been an era of
good feeling. like an era of good feed
ing, don't you"
eyes," said the Massachusetts man,
s'and we might have had it 40 years ago
if could have had my way. Ny theory
was for the abolitionists to buy out the
slaves and take them north, where we
would treat them so we'll that they would
gradually die off of govt. But, no; moth
ing would do but fight, fight, fight I
hate to fight, and I hate to see people
fight just because the politicians need
the excitement. Don't you? You fought
| because the brass mounted orators with
| alligator lungs told you there was a
principle involved, and so did we, when
| in fact there wasn't blamed principle
| in the whole business. It was just suf-
| fer and die and make the papers spicy
| for four years and then take all the next
50-years to pay for it,"
"That's my idea. You see how few
eras Of good feeling we have had in the
last IS years! Well, my idea would be
to have one every night. No north, no
south, no east, no west; just have eras of
good feeling on Thursdays and Fridays
anyhow, and oftener if possible. Who
was benefited by the war; Why, nobody
but people who escaped the draft and
spoke pieces at home. I'm a man Sc
years old, and I can safely say that,
though was a soldier and slept in my
clothes as long as they lasted and ate
field corn most of the time, there was
not moment when would not have
gladly gone to some quiet place with 8
northern man like you and opened an
era Of good feeling with him."
"That's it exactly. The war is over
and who's got the niger? You have
He entities you to q whole lot Of con
gressmen and let's you pick out the con
gressmen. How much are we ahead on
the WARP We have 80 middle aged single
women to one man where we ought tt
have homes and taxpayers. You've got
the niggers to feed, clothe and execute
and we have most Of our best men buried
in your cotton fields. That's the result
of the war. Who brought on the war
Show me the man, and I'll show you {
man who did not enlist. He remained
at home and cussed because the paper
| in their lists of dead did not print tn
names of his wife's relatives correctly
Here's to Tllman. In this pure elemen
we pledge fidelity to our era of goot
feeling. I'll bet q dollar Tllma,
brought on the war, If we could get q
the facts" ,.-

the kind of man to bring on q war an

have got fanatics like him into Vicksbur

ahead Of what we are now. There ough
