CALDWELL.

HuTrlh for jim HeSkett for Sheriff.
Thos. Walker has sure gone east on
a visit this winter.
Mr.. Smith, the undertaken at Cald'
well died on the 1lth.
The hot winds are cooking the late
corn and kafiir, it is almost impOSSi-
ble to plOw. But it is fine time to
cut hay, it is already cured.
Miss Ada Franklin living three
miles west of Caldwell died on the
18th. She was hired to teach school
near Birds Point, Ok. 1t was to COM
mence on the 10Th.
Receipt for hog cholera: Take
shelled corn and boil it in a pot or
boiler, put in enough Lewis I've to
take the bran off the corn and set it
of when cool. Give the hogs all they
can eat, 1t will give them an appetlte
and clean them up 10 general.
We heard a prominent Republican
say in Caldwell that Jim Heskett and
Harmon Straw, were two of the best
commissioners Sumner county ever
had and he would like to see HeSkett
elected sheriff of Sumner county.
We also heard one of the best Demo-
Gratis 10 Caldwell says he would do all
IN his power to help elect him. We
had ought to nominate him sure De-
cause not many Pops have that as
Surance in Caldwell city.
Well the county is straight Pop.
Now those half breed Republicans
who have been saying if you would
Just put out a straight ticket we
would support it, now come on. |
think there were several Republicans
disguised as POpulists acting in our
convention, We can tell whether
they act honest or not on election.
The Republicans have no platform
and very little of any thing else
except gall. We should sail through
with ease if we act what we teach
and not let every man who comes
along convert US to his story.
Honesty sometimes gets its reward,
Those men who have made a fine
luxurious living by quilting the farm
er by selling farm implements for
twice their real value, are looking
sick. At present the average cannot
pay cash and he has to ask for credit
to the limit and it leaves those gen.
tlemen time to consider their stand.
ing. The hard times has taught the
farmer to do with his old tools as long
as possible and borrow as long as his
1eighbor will lend, and there is a
motto We should learn by heart, PAY
as you 60 and you will never owe"
1t is little late to commit it now
but it will be a help in the future
Credit is the ruinatiOn of this coun
try.
Well, gentlemen, we have a man
nominated for commissioner who is a
gentleman, honest and upright in al
dealings with his fellow men. A mar
The Wellington ring can't use as it is
their pleasure to do. He will do the
right thing for us without a doubt
and core out at the end of the three
years credit to those who support
dIim. We will not be ashamed of him
or his work. The gentleman We
speak of is ThOs. Murphy of COrbin,
or near there, who we put on the Pop
HhSt ticket. He is a farmer and a
stock raiser, The only thing wrong
with him he's too honest to make a
race for office against a Republican.
So would ask all the POpuliSt to put
IN and help US brock the commission
er's ring of three Republicans and see
If it won't reduce county expenses.
The man who made the threat to beat
him at the convention after he was
nominated had better consider the
hereafter and help to elect instead,
