We notice that truckers, of whom a. L.
Adams, Eddie Mayor, John L. Davis and
J. Dallas Evans are the principal ones are
untiring in their work to make their bust

II our memory be mortal, We think-we
are not sure-that Cicero Is responsible for
the saying that "Justice consists in doing
no injury TO men; decency, in giving them
no offence" We take it upon OURSELVES
keeping the above quotation in mind-that
we need men in our Legislative halls who
are just and firm in their purpose-msn
who will not be shaken from their fixed
resolutions, either. by the misdirecting ardor
of their fellov-citizens or by the frowns-of
would be imperious politicians. We will
go little farther in our simple remarks
and say-men whose calmness and perse-
verence can equally resist the excuses CT
popular praise, or the menaces OF arbitrary
men who are seif-righteous in their politi-
cal opinions-political tyrants 10 put il in
plain dictionary language In view of the
simple expressions very simply made, we
respectfully nominate Captain George
Thomas as very suitable candidate for
place on the Legislative ticket the ensuing
Fall, and we should be pleased to have b.
Harris CamaGer, Esqr., reelected. He is
q man say that he is not competent, etc.
There are truths Of so plainiy--obvious-
kind that every mind, except those Of
idiots, can, without help Of art, hardly fail
to recognize them. viii those who are
regarded as our political leaders fail TO
favorably consider our simple expressionss
Our anxiety on this subject we trust may
not be traced to motive of selfinterest
We have no fake 70 grind'-and we sim
ply state here our convictions. which are
fully in accord with the political situation

Now, to-day, fellowship Of the right stamp
is more or less ignored. We assert that
without proper fellowship manhood cannot
rightly assest itself, and true manhood Is
the crown and glory of man. "One man,
no man" Is true in is essence. No man
liveth unto himself. and no man dieth unto
himself. Fellowship means copartner.
ship-it implies communityo Of interests,
Of rights. Of obligations, etc. IL Is essential
to mans manhood. We cannot attain TO
it by selfishness. Let our teachers incnl-
