Notes Taken in and Out of Court.

at is astonishing what you can learn in day"
Saturday last was great C9 day in Rising Sun.
Court was held, and politician (once a lawyer
came to town. The excitement grew but flashed
in the pan" the rabble focked around and votes
were bartered for, j. e. sure ones that naturally
belonged that way, and the same swelling was
apparent. AS result, the ''verdant' and
curious were treated to the greatest lot of rot
and ''stuff " imaginable, but by close attention
and close observation you learned on the one
hand-That the best place for a boy on evenings
and Sundays is on the street cornersand in crowds
in public places. They learn valuable lessons of
industry, morality and manliness.
That they should congregate around public
business places. 1t helps business, as ladies and
gentlemen prefer to go where loafers can see and
hear their business, be what it may.
That it is better to avoid the truth under oath
than displease the charming companions of ''the
Little Brown Jug and " Sunday DRINKS"
That sarcasm, slang and attempted eloquence
with one wing coupled with abuse of witnesses
was argument 1t pleases the admirng voter
with limited abilities.
That the citizens Oft town have no right to
NEEDLE with violations of law and order. They
must attend to their own business.
Then on the other hand you learned-That the
word "Bush" originated from "hog." How
appropriate y!
That no one is member of the ''Bush" club
that reads any good literature. that attends church
or Sunday School, that is industrious, that tends
to his own business and tends to it we'll.
That no one hereafter will dare to mock the
'hog'' so as to be heard, unless they wish to bear
the shame and name of disgracing that lovely
animal and placing themselves on lower level.
That the efforts of the Commissioners to sup
press disorder is tempest in a tea pot and it
may be strong "tea" vet, and that the necessary
colored help that American house wives must have
are "Black Eve Lambs" according to the utter
ances of the learned Counsel for defence"
That one word of approval from our law-abid-
ing self-respecting citizen is worth the shouts of
admiration from whole regiment of those who
respect not law and order.
That the best and most prosperous business
places of the town have driven off these same
loafers, and a number can be named who have
informed them that their welcome could be found
in the toe of boot.
That the Commissioners of the town have in
wrtag the assurance of all good citizens that their
effort to protect its people shall be sustained
That while under existing circumstances people
are afraid to testify to the facts when their good
name, their property and their business is open to
the attack of those who regard no law. yet it is
the duty of every such citizen to note down every
violation, pay no attention to the false charge OF
meddling. 1t is your business. Then thew to the
line let the chips fall where they may" and stop
the valgarity and profanity so prevalent:
more ANON"
