disf1gured, but still in the ring"
Frank Turnbough lost good horse
the other day.
The long chain of good health in our
community is broken, and our doctors
have been quite busy. AS yet there
have been no deaths, showing that we
are blessed with good physicians.
Tom Chisholm was in our midst re-
Gently, shaking hands with the dear
people and eating log-rolfing dinner.
Mart Tyler and Jno. Brent had a
doubled barrel log rolling recently.
The chicken pie and other good things
too numerous to mention were served
at Mr.. Us. Brock Parsons was present
and did justice to the subject and said
he was not candidate; but --.
The hustling firm of Easterliug Bros.
presented our town parson with fine
bran spang new spring hat recently,
for which he says they have his head
and heartfelt thanks.
Some Mormon preachers passed
through our town recently and dis
tributed some tracts. Their 9Th arti-
Gle of faith says: "We believe in the
inspiration of the Scriptures as far as
correctly translated" OF course this
means that where the Scriptures do
not agree with 10 Smith, they are
wrongly translated.
Mr.. O'Neil, a nice young man from
Jefferson, Miss, is in our midst look
ing for location as dry goods clerk.
1t is quite probable that Saml Zwirn
will locate him.
Rev. r. j. Boone paid us a flying
visit recently and preached one of his
best sermons. The appointment not be-
being generally known, small con-
gregation was the result. Drop some
of us card next time, Bro. B., and we
will publish in The LEADER, and every
body will know of your coming.
HIT. Reed and VIM. Burns BILL have
recently bought the Richardson saw
mill plant near johnson Station. They
took hold of the business with a vim
last Monday. Success to you, gentle
men.
Quite number of tramps have been
in our town recently. This does not
include the candidates, as it were.
An unknown negro boy about IS or
20 years old, was found dead near the
depot at the railroad track last Thurs
day morning. His head was badly
crushed and the jury's verdict was
that he was killed by jumping from a
moving train, supposed to be a through
freight during the night.
No doubt there are plenty of good
men in our county who would be pleas
ed to serve the dear people in public
way, but the poor fellows are at a loss
to know just how to announce them
selves. They want the Prohibition
and Populite vote, but there is the
Democratic primary standing like a
mountain in front of them. So far,
every one, except 10. Smith, has an
nounced himself subject to the action
of the Democratic party. Gentlemen,
trot yourselves out; show your colors
and let us size you up. Remember
that there are many votes in the Coun-
| ty that will be cast for no man who is
not true and tried on the liquor ques-
ton. 4-r.s..
An old colored man, when he saw the
| Lumbermens' excursion pulling in at
Wellman, exclaimed: "White foxes,
| list look at dem Yankees" Our North
ern friends went away realizing that
they have seen and heard wondrous
things down South in Dixie.
Since the slight advance in the price
of cotton, our farmers are making a
general rush for fertilizer. Lookout
gentlemen, there are breakers ahead
Miss Lou Curtis is arranging to en-.
terrain our people with a splendid
