PHI. ]. NEELY.

About half century ago, up in the hills of Hardeman county, Tennessee, the sub ject of this sketch first saw the light of day. He is the son of Rev. Thos. J. Nicely, for many years an honored minister of the Methodist church ill that state. In the fall of 1874 he moved 10 this place, Good win. and has since been a resident of St.
 Francis county. Esq. Neely, or Uncle
 Philip, as he is familiarly known, is by
 no means a stranger in the political, social | and religious circles of this county. In every movement that looked to the bet terment of his fellow man and up-building
 of his county he has always been in the van, ! more often a leader. He is not polti- elan. in the lowest idea of that name. He
 has been candidate, and all his 0ppo- nents bear witness to the high and honOr- able treatment they received from him. 1 He would rather do right than be king, rather would he lose a fight than to gain ] 1t at the expense of honor and conscience. Early in the race, Mir. Nicely was urged | by his friends to come out. This he hesi-
 tated for some time to do, but finally con- 1 sented to make the race. Without know | ing a single one of hls opponents i'll the
 race. we venture to assert that among
 them no one is better qualified for the of | fee he asks at the hands of the people. l They may be his equals. There are va rious reasons why he is looked to be the
 next Judge of St. Francis county. We | mention few.
 {, First lie has been in the race but a 1 fortnight. yet no man has received more i encouragement. He will carry in a soIId ] phaIanX the county west of L'Ahguille ] river.
 l Second He is a man fuliy qualified in ! head and heart for the office He adds to
 business tact that has brought him an | honest relief from the tolls of poverty and
 a ripe experience on the bench as justice where he has acquired covetable notori- ety. to these we repeat. he has added an honorable manhood and business tact. moi poi cy.
 West St. Francis county feels entitled
 to the office and she puts before the people
 as her and the county's candidate. tine ex-
 perienced justice the broad-mnded and 1 public spirited citizen and the friend oi
 home interests and people, Phil. J. Nicely,

BARKER'S REGIMENT.
1t is now understood that Barker's

Mayor Steinman had only $500 to be
used for the purpose, and found he could
not ship the 500 men back to San Fran
cisco for less than the regular fare, 81 80
each. Therefore the money, or portion
of it. will be used for the purchase of
supplies, and the men will march on foot
to Lathrop, or Tracy. south of Stockton.

BARKER INDUSTRIALS.
They Refused All Offer of Fair Wage
for 100 Woodchoppers.

Iney hefUSed all O1fer OF Fair wages
for 100 Woodchoppers.
"Well," said w. D. Lawton yesterday,
II am done trying to do anything for
these men who are masquerading about
the country under the guise of unfortu-
mates who want but cannot obtain work.
"Y esterday I sent James Mccoy out to
Barker's camp of self-styled Industrials
to offer employment to from eighty to one
| hundred men at 81 a day exclusive of
their board and lodging, but the offer
was refused.
"The Olive Company, with which am
connected, has 1000 cords of wood to be
cut and removed at once in order to pre-
pare the ground for cultivation, and we
thought it a grand opportunity to give
these men work.
"And what do you think was Colonel
Barker's reply? Why. he said the offer
could not be accepted they did not
want to interfere with the local labor
market! How is that for lot of men
who are claiming that all they want is an
opportunity to earn an honest living!
1T lets me out of any further efforts in
that direction. That wood has TO be cut,
and if these so-called unemployed men
have to deal with some class of laborers
that WILL"
A FORMER REFUSAL.
That was not the first time Lawton had
tried to coax some of the Industrials to
work. Several days ago he went out to
Suffers Fort, where Carpenters army
was encamped, and offered to employ the
whole outfit in cutting wood at 81 70 per
cord, but they would not accept the offer.
The reply was that they were bound for
| Washington to aid Coxey in his cam
| paign against Congress, and could not
afford to let 'sthe cause'' suffer for the
sake of going to work.
A gentleman of this city who has had
considerable work done of the kind
offered by Lawton, expressed surprise at
the liberality of the offer. He says the
usual price for clearing foothill land OF
timber is 81 So per cord.

A FORMER REFUsAL.
ANOTHER INSTANCE.

Day before yesterday gentleman came
up from the island section down the river
and went out to Snowflake Park, as the
representative of several fruit-growers,
and asked for eleven men to work in the
fruit harvest and to its close, which ex-
tends to the end of summer, anu to do
general work about the farms. He offered
good board and lodging and 81 for such
help, but not a man offered to accept.
When he asked the men why no one
offered to accept, and pointed out that the
proposition might secure the men places
as long as they saw fit to work, the reply
was made: I'VE don't want work for 81
a day and board and lodging. We are
skilled mechanics, and we won't work for
that"
The agent replied that it was better in
hard times than doing nothing, and that
it was all the growers could afford to pay
now. He received no reply. He got no

THE DEAR LITTLE PATH.

There's a dear little path at the end
of the road,
And where do you think it goes?
It wanders away at its own sweet will,
Off through the woods, and over the
hill,
And down where the river flows.
The prim old road Les paved and
curbed,
While the lamps at either side
March out in a line by night and day
To the noisy town so far away,
Where never a flower can hide.
Two at the end stand quite amazed
At the little paths careless ways;
But waiting beyond is the marguerite,
The bluebird's nest, and the spring
ing wheat;
And it never stops nor stays.
Oh, the dear little path, like it best,
Sprintime, summer, or fall;
Though it runs through the brambles,
or into the swamp,
1t is dearer far than the stately pOmp
Of the road, with its sentinels tall.
