and usually unhappy lot OF people
not as uncOmfortably situated as was
the fellow down in Tennessee, who Il

following squib: "We are mad. D-n
the people. How can they expect us
out here, twelve miles from a railroad
twenty miles from a river, millions Of
miles from heaven, about two blocks
from the devil and about two hundred
yards from a gin shop, to get out a

At the state prohibition convention
held in Madison on last Saturday, the
Rev. A. Jameson was nominated for
congress. Brer Jameson is strong in
the faith and an out and out prohi-
bitionist. We do not anticipate that
he will be elected. AS we understand
it, Mr.. Jameson does not lie awake
nights from fear OF such an event. He
proposes to Ill and make a few
speeches before the event is over. He
believes in martyrdom. pure and SIM
pie, and is willing to offer himself as a
sacrifice upon the altar OF defeat. The
nomination was not OF his seeking and
much OF a surprise. The platform
adopted by the party is out and out in
favor OF the free coinage Of silver at a
ratio OF l6 to l.
