DADEVILLE.

From the Hills of Tallapoosa Comes q
Voice.
Dadeville, March H.-(Special 1.-The
Advertiser has the brass to assert that
Mr.. Johnston is not entitled to the nomi-
nation because of his fidelity and faith
fulness to the democratic party, but has
simply done his duty, and there is no
merit in loyalty and self-sacrlfice. Then
Mr.. Clarke has already received a great
deal more than he deserves at the hands
of the democratic party for his faithful
ness, and he ought by all means to be
retired and because he Is a free horse,
not ride him to death. The manner in
which the Advertiser proposes to control
the politics of Alabama Is similar to the
church of Rome. The word Is 'sont
out" and every one who does not obey
must be beheaded politically.
Now, Captain Johnston has a right to
his views on the money question, and we
can't lose anythinglby trying 1t, for most
assuredly the present plan is failure,
and he ought to be nominated for eXpe-
diency and to throw this oppressive die
tatorial yoke of the Advertiser and it's
lieutenants off the necks of our people
and preserve their freedom The fact is,
the prominent followers of the Advertiser
in this section have not all been loyal to
the party themselves, and they are try
ing to teach Johnston fidelity. and 1t
does seem that If fraud has been COM
mitted the Advertiser for decency's
sake) ought to let somebody else charge
it. Now Governor Jones ought not to be
employed to prosecute fraud, for we have
1t in holy writ that devils can't be cast
out by Beelzebub."
The people in this section propose to
close their ears to the edict of Rome and
vote for Captain Johnston. man who is
capable and available to administer the
affairs of the state. If office is good
thing they want a finger in the pie occa-
sionally.

go without the aid of cane, and part of
the time was not able to be out of bed.
Finally began taking advertised medi-
cines and then went to st. Clair Springs,
Ala, and after that to the Gull of Mexico,
but still suffered with rheumatism. The
doctors advised me to go to Hot Springs,

my Dear Madame: Where did that speci-
man of manhood come from that wrote you
Sunday about loving two girls at one and
the same time? And where did he find the
girls who will share his warm and tender
heart? Do his sweethearts live in the same
place, or did he leave one in Jamaica, while
the "tother charmer'' makes life sweet and
beautiful to him somewhere in this town? I
can't understand how any girl, when there
are so many men in the world, will share a
mans affection with another girl / am of
a jealous disposition, and will not, could not
divide the small amount of love a man has
with any other girl in the world. Please tell
him that L think his sweethearts must be
queer things to be willing to divide with
each other. Perhaps they may not know
the true state of the case, and each one
may think she is the "onliest" one and that
he could not live without her Poor creaturei
Some women are too sentimental for this
age. And how. they can make mistake

thing that a man can't deceive a sensible
woman or girl about Is whether he really

Sometimes the whole ardor of my being

loved two and even three at once. 1 don't
see why we should not love as many as we
please. just so we don't marry, and don't
annoy other people with our romances. Tell
your friend not to worry. that girls can and
do lavish their affection upon several beaux
at once, provided they are generous and
them to the opera house. Your friend, etc.
