A DIPLOMATIC EDITOR.

"A DlE LUNA III Lulu
John M. Lamb, editor of the De
Lamar Qdaho) Nugget, got on a
rampage the other day, unslung
his gun, and took the camp. When
he sobered down and got his senses
he fined himself $50, he being a
high moguel justice of the peace.
When he fined himself he told the
constable to put the culprit in Jail
at once if the fine was not paid
The editor and justice of the peace.
had to go to the damp Jail. His
wife roared like lioness and vowed
she would burn the Jail down If
her precious consort was not liber-
ated at once. The newspaper man
and Justice of the peace who stood
behind the bars as a righteous act
of his justice, told the constable to
stand firm and execute and respect
the order of the court. The
woman tainted, and by this time
the community was aroused from
centre to circumference and there
was limburger cheese on the moon
and a graveyard impression on the
faces ola large throng of troubled
people. The mob made a rush for
the bastile and in their frenzy
twisted the door off its hinges and
requested Mr.. Lamb to walk out.
He refused unless the fine and costs
were paid. The mob wanted to
know what the costs would be.
He took a good look at the infuri-
ated mob and told them $225. A
paper was circulated and the
money was raised in a jiffy, and
they handed the finance to the eccen-
trio justice of the peace and para
doxical scribe. He paid the con-
stable $40 for his fees and the jail
or S. for his lodging, and $40 to
have the door of the Jail repaired.
In the meantime the hero of the es-
capade told the spectators to be
present the next morning at his
temple of justice
About 9 a. m. the judge and
bland editor opened court. The
first thing he did was to remit his
own fine of $50. The journalist
and peace officer then informed the
audience that he had $500 in cash
that had been given for his freedom
from durance vile on the previous
day. He asked as favor that
every individual who had pungled
up a cent toward his liberation
from prison come forward and give
his name and the amount he had
subscribed. Just II2 men and a
small boy arose and moved toward
his Honor. 1t was a case where
each man put up two dollars a.
piece and boy one dollar. At
ter considerable bookkeeping and
figuring on his books he vocifer-
ated in a baritone voice for the II2
men and boy to march up in front
of the railing, The man of judo
ial ermine and Napoleon Bona
parte eye for cute journalism stood
before his friends and tremDSd
for awhile with mute emotion. He
then heaved a love-sick sigh and
handed each man a two. dollar re-
ceipt for delinquent subscription to
his newspaper right there on the
spot. Everything was SO stlll IN
the court room while this was
going on that the'sizzing hum of a
little peanut rooster would have
sounded like the laundering into
nation of Vesuvius when belching
forth its red hot lava. This IS the
only instance in the history OF the
world where a newspaper man
made SIeo by fning it.-Press ana

Prof. Arthur Minter, an old Har-
deman County boy, now principal

highly complimented. Appropri-
ate remarks were also made by Rev.

NJ. NJ. Smith, of Cedar Chapel, and

Lizzie Hundley read an essay and
Misses Lizzie Pirtle and Susie
White recited. The proceedings
were closed by adopting suitable
resolutions on the death of Mrs.
Bette Dickinson and Mrs. Ellen
Moore, two of the old scholars who
have passed away since the last re-
union. The program was interper-
sed with music from a choir, led by
Miss Allie Clinton. The crowd was
good natured, well behaved and the
day was thoroughly enjoyed. These
reunions are a source of much
pleasure to all who attend, and are
eagerly looked forward to each

The following letter from Col

Memphis, Tenn, July 25, 1895.
Mr.. J. w. Simonton.
My DEAR SIR-Your favor cal
ling my attention to the publication
in the Upton Record, wherein the
Hardeman Free Press and the At
lanta Constitution are quoted as
publishing that | had deposited
s., 900 IN a Memphis bank, has been
received. From this the Record
draws the charitable conclusion
that, if the publication was true, |
received the So, 900 for the speech
es | have made in the interest of
sound currency. l have made it
a rule not to notice such publica-
tions and have always accepted the
publication of such charges as a part
of the penalty inflicted upon every
man in public station who dares to
have opinions on public questions
and the courage to express them.
Then if public servant has not SO
lived as to be proof against SANDER
and calumny his denials will amount
to but little. The truth is, | have
not deposited one dollar III any
Memphis bank, and the only &C
count on which | can draw a draft
for any amount is my salary
account kept with the Sergeant at
Arms of the House. This is not all
of the truth, because it is fact that
| have refused to receive pecuniary
aid to pay my expenses. At many
places where | have spoken the To-
cal committees have treated me as a
guest and paid my hotel bills, but,
not outstanding this customary at
tentiOn, the canvass has been very
burdensome to me and has cost me
several hundred dollars.
Yours truly,
JOSIAH PATTERSON.
