The Gazette is terribly worried because,
in spite of all its deep laid intrigue, the
regular Republican organization was
,triumpant in the municipal election. 1t
has probably forgotten the time when
it's editors were chief conspirators in a
scheme" of which a certain specified
few were to become the benefciaries
and the tax payers were to foot the bills.
County and municipal government are
both better in the control of Republi.

ties. When they begin to cry "reform," !"

Too Late!

Tuesday afternoon, in the midst of
the rush always incident to the closing
of the weeks work, with four or five
columns more copy than we could ex.
pect to get into type, there came upon
us long communication from the Citi-
zens' Committee. While we feel greatly
complimented at their tardy recognition
of the fact that the News. HERALD is the
proper medium through which to reach
the people, still it is physical impossi.
bility to concede the space they desire.
With barely time to give the matter
hasty glance, we find it is rehssh to
some extent of the ante election grist
They claim that the charges they made
were not disproved and hardly disputed.
From our recollection of affairs land we
were tEere) this Statement seems very
strange. They must either be forgetful,
or we have been in trance. Bless our,
foolish soul, we thought they were
knocked out on every count, and we
wouldn't have had sense enough to
know any better, if they hadn't told us.
However, be that corr, ct or incorrect.
they coolly assume, all the same, that
they have been standing in straddle-
legged and invincible heroism over the
only nest eggs of truth ever discovered
in this moral barn yard. Upon this
assumption they proceed to discourse at
1or h ha iri 70 I
Duckwall and John Horst by their ex-
pulsion from the Republican Executive
Committee.
Now, if we know Duckwall and Horst,
they are both gentlemen of considerable
ability and pluck. When they went
into the Citizens Movement" they did
so with willingness to take the conse-
quences. They are neither towards nor
babies, and we don't think they are
squealing. Neither will they thank the
Citizens Committee for this manifesto
ton of tender soicitude in their behalf
When men of true courage get knocked
out they generally take their medicine
in serene, if not happy silence. This is
what we expect from these gentlemen,
for whom we entertain considerable
personal respect. They're not going to
sulk and blubber and chew the rag.
Out OF regard for them, as much as
from any other cause, we couldn't think
of encouraging this great lamentation in
their behalf. 1t places them in a false
and childish attitude, and does them a
gross injustice.
But, beyond all that the gentlemen of
the Citizens Committee will please par.
don us for suggesting that there should
be an end to all things. The election is
over. The people have pronounced
their verdict There is no use of keep
ing up this bitterness of elimination and
recriminatien. Let's have quiet now on
this matter, and join hands all round
for a new opera house.

When the Public Library was estab-
lished, the trustees fixed the sum to be
paid for library privileges by non-resi,
dents at So per annum. Soon afterward
the claim was made in the board that
non-residents who were tax. payers in
the village were justly entitled to its
privileges. This was considered and the
conclusion reached that non. residents
who were taxed for the support of the
library might well be allowed to use it
on the same terms as residents, and that
rule was adopted and has ever since
been adhered to. At that time the
family of Col. Trimble was given library
privileges because he was corporation
taxpayer, and about the same time So
was refunded to Chas. Wilson, then liv.
ing on the Haynes farm North of town,
the money having been paid before the
action was taken, Mr.. Wilson being a
corporation taxpayer. Afterward Mr..
Lewis Ambrose and Mr.. Beecher and
perhaps others were given library priv
ileges, for the same reason, that they
were corporation taxpayers, although |

To allow the unfair insinuations of the
Gazette to pass in silence, would be to
allow judgment to be taken by default.
The city has found it necessary to hor-
row $2::5OO for the corporation fund.
Outside of that, there was not dollar
owed except on the water works. Now
the Gazette, seeing chance to cast an
imputation of extravaganza upon the
most economical Council the city has
ever had, comes forward with sneer
and asks, "Why borrow $2,5o02" No
body knows better than the managers of
the Gazette that there is $4,341 of the
city's money still tied up in the Citizens
National Bank. Knowing this, it shows
to what tricks the Gazette will stoop in
order to poison the minds of the people
against Republican officials.

"Rat, Cats and Billy Goat Tails"

A little girl of thirteen sends us th'
ollowing lines based upon one Of th'
var cries Of the recent great campaign
Oft, ere slumber's chains had bound me,
/ heard some queer nocturnal sounds
Whose strsngeness did confound me
Some sad, prolonged and dismal walls,
without much strength or meter.
"Rats, cats and billy goat tails
We're the closing lines-repester.
unused, some sad and awful thing
Has happened in this, our city
To give such sorrow to the ring
OF this most plaintive ditty,
But to describe it language fails,
But, still that chorus skyward sails,
"Rats, cats and billy goat tails !"
Then I said to myself, I'll bet nickel,
Nike an inspiration it possessed me-
That the Citizens ticket Is In pickle,
And wept because it sore oppressed me
For these are the words that now prevail,
And these few lines their fate bewsils
Rats, cats and billy goat tails!"
And then slept, Oh blessed slumber,
That sealed at last my eyelids down,
And closed my ears to that sad number.
Who tried, but failed, to run the town.
And ss their ships with tsttered sails
Move out. let this chorus still prevail
Rats, cats and billy goat tails !"

FaYetfa cOuntY Primaries.

A primary election was held in
Fayette County Saturday, in which
a great deal of interest was NANTES
ted. A large number of candidates
offered for the various offices, and
some of the contests were exceeding
close. The result was the nomina-
ton of the following Democrats:
For register, Junius Hobson; sheriff,
J. <. Boswell: County Court clerk,
DR.. T. B. Yancey; Circuit Court
clerk, @. A. s. Shaw; trustee, B. f.
Murrell. The banner race was made
by Mr.. Hobson for register, who re-
ceived 729 votes as against $40 for
all his opponents. DR.. Yancey, who
was nominated for County Court
clerk, was formerly United States
Marshall for West Tennessee under
Cleyeland's administration. The
ticket Ia an admirable one, and its
is virtually assured, as no in
movement would stand
any chance against it.-Aypeal-Av-

'"Playina for Even. .

While the Federal Army was sta
toned in Bolivar, during the rebel
lion, (beg your pardon major l
mean the war between the states,
there. was a picket post at Dunlap
Springs, commanded by Capt. Posey.
A clever, social, little yankee was
Posey, fond of his toddy and quiet
game of poker now and then.
Near DunlapSprings lived the late
Alden Lawhorn, a professional card
player-a fact not yet known to Capt.
Posey. He found it out later on.
The story will now be told by Posey:
He says they were playing cards in
the shade when a tall, gray haired
man approached them and inquired
for the commander, when the fol-
lowing dialogue ensued:
Posey-I am the Commander,
what can do for you?
Lawhorn-YOu seem to be having
a good casey time amusing yourself
yes.
Posey-Yes we are doing very
well.
Lawhorn-Uncle Sam feeds you
boys pretty well, don't he?
POsey-We have nothing to com
plain of.
Lawhorn-Pays you off every
month or so, / suppose?
Posey-Yes he pays promptly.
Lawhorn-Have you been paid off
lately?
Posey-Yes paid off last week.
Lawhorn-Have you got any of
the money now?
Posey--Yes got poker stake
left.
Lawhorn--Well, Captain, your men
have been depredating on me consid-
erably. They have ruined my or
chard; destroyed my corn; confisca-
ted my chickens, and damaged me
badly, so thought / would call and
see If could not win enough from
you at poker to pay the damage.
POsey agreed, so at it they went
and the result was, Posey says that
Lawhorn won every cent of money,
which was two months pay, also
broke the Sergeant. When he rose
to 60 he remarked that his winnings
would amply pay the damage done
and bid him good evening.

Communicated.
A very pretty wedding occurred
at eight o'clock Tuesday morning,
June 5th at the residence of Mr.. and
Mrs Ed Carter where Miss Fannie
Carter was married to Mr.. J. r.
SweetOn. The wedding was quiet
one, only the relatives and a few
friends being present. At the APP
pointed hour the bride, leaning on
the arm of the groom, entered the
parlor and stood just within the
doors. Rev Mr.. Brown then stepped
forward and pronounced the few
well chosen words that made the
couple man and wife. Prayer was
offered, after which all present show
cred congratulations upon Mr.. and
Mrs. Sweeton. The presents receiv-
ed from their many friends were nu-
merous and elegant, attesting the
popularity of the bride and groom.
The bride is one of the most lovely,
unassuming young ladies of Bolivar.
Mr.. Sweeton has been in Bolivar
only a few years. No man has
more friends than he. Indus
trious, moral and strictly attentive
to business, he is rapidly pushing
his way to the front in business cir
cles. A successful life stretches
out before HIM. The writer extends
congratulations and hearty good
wishes to him and his fair bride and
desires for them a life full of hap
piness and prosperity, which they
both so richly deserve. TIT
