Uncle Jimmie Chltwood, of Chitwood,
Lincoln county, paid the GAZETTE office 6
pleasant call last Friday afternoon. He was
enroute to the home of his son James, who
lives near Albany, on a visit. He says tht
people of his county are thoroughly disgust
ed with the attempt of certain designing
politicians to edo up" Representative Her
mann, but thinks it will not have the effect
J of defeating him. Uncle Jimmie has been s
republican since ''bsfo' de wah" and fully
understands the sentiments of the citizens
of his county, and when he says Hermann
is the strongest man, it means something.
