DIR" Jess Stallings is very successful

cule a flop, even should it occur:
The Mobile Register hears it predicted
that Stallings will flop on the money
question soon" The Register and those
like it are not in position to ridicule

and entertaining. Leaving his text oc-

quence and treasured his loyalty to the
time-honored principles of democracy.
He made the question of finance plain to
every one under the sound of his voice

portunity of meeting Mr.. Stallings and
we found him to be a social kind
hearted genial, southern gentleman. 1t
is possible that we will have him with us
again some time this fall.
