4 Bill Of Fire.

Whatever else might be said about
the present chief of police no one has
ever accused him Of being a coward or
superstitious and what he says in re.
ference to ghosts or other phenomena
ought to go without contradiction.
From what is reported he saw Sunday
night something very wonderful must
have occurred During the fearful
electric storm which came on Sunday
after dark, Sunday night somewhere
in the neighborhood OF the caiboose
Mr.. Remine saw a great ball of fire
about the size Of a big cheese fall out
Of the heavens and roll along on the
ground Tor thirty or forty yards II
lighted up the neighborhood for severa
feet around with a lurid glare, but il
soon disappeared making a kind o.
sputtering noise and filling the ali
with sulphurous oder.

We attended prayer meeting at Mt.
Zion Sunday evening. The services
were mainly conducted by the young

cises. This speaks well for the young
people, and let us hope that they will
continue in the good work of meeting
for the purpose of moral development
until their lives may become living
prayer, lifting them above the tempta-
tons by which they are surrounded,
and spreading around them an atmos-
phere OF purity that will exert a
cleansing influence on the whole So
cial fabric. We trust that these young
people will, all of them, remain true
to their religious VOWS, and by no fu.

LESSONS they have made.

those who received a majority vote
with me for the clerks of the county,
for register, for trustee, and for repre-
sentative, are not entitled to the race,
and the primary was farce and fail
ure from the beginning to the end.
But do not think it this way. l
believe that every man who received
this majority vote was Justly entitled
to the race, and, had | been beaten in
the primary by Mr.. Hickey or by Mr..
Martin, | would never have thought
OF forcing my name upon the party
through the rattle Of a convention
clique, but, like fair and honest man,
would have stepped down and out and
waited my turn, or until the party was
ready to endorse my candidacy.
Mr.. Hickey has no more claim upon
the Republican party for this race for
sheriff than Mr.. Martin has, who was
defeated at the same time Mr.. Hickey
was by me. Neither has Mr.. Hickey
any more right to be known as the
nominee Of the Republican party than
Mr.. Pritchett has, who received his
nomination wholly through Demo
cratic convention.

and privileges guaranteed to us by the

rights and privileges that have been
fostered and cared for so long by the
grand old party, to which Lincoln,

of Americas greatest men belonged

/, together with many others, fought
for; and for which thousands died for
for these rights and privileges hope
still to cherish, and am willing TO fight
against everything that has a tenden-
cy to suppress any part OF these
rights, or TO enslave men in any way.
II at any time we are unwilling to
bow to the voice OF majority Of our
fellowmen and depend upon the sup
preston Of the peoples voice through
the low growl of a few political wire
workers, such course is un'Republic-
an, un-American, and to such course
| am unwilling to submit and will
fight against it as l would fight
against slavery in any form.
l now call upon my friends all over
the county to rally to my support and
l will give the bosses the blacklist eye
and disfisure their countenance to
such an extent in the August election
that they will never know themselves
