Ercr Silver Wins.

Humble Citizen--Now that Bryan is
elected thought I'd come around to
the mint and get little free silver. =
Uncle SAMMY dear boy. you've
made big mistake. Free Silver
meant that the United States must
stamp 53 cents worth OF silver ..one
dollar" free for the silver mine-own-
ers. 1t meant 4 free gift to them of II
cents on every % cents worth coined.
Humble Citizen-But where do /
come in:
Uncle Sam-Wby. II the silver own
er owes you Il dollar for work orgoods
he viii pay you with 53 cents worth Of
silver instead OF witha IO0-cent dollar.
and You have made him free gilt OF

a restoration of that system that we

published over and over again. The
bill was before Congress three years,
was explained and debated again and
again. The fact that the silver dol

out. It is now justifable for any man

Chairman Babcock. of the Republi-

evening said: The official report of
the Director OF the Mint shows that

Could the free coinage advocates ask

But there Is another thing OF vast

By coming that amount Of silver the

LOPEZ ITEMS.

LOPEZ ITEMS.
Mr.. EDIToR:-Not having seel
anything in your paper from ou
enterprising town we will try ant
send you few items occasionally.
A son of David Brown is very
sick with pneumonia.
A small child of Derwood Saddlen-
eyser is very sick.
Rev. Spangler is holding series
of protracted meetings in the church
the best ever held in the town.
AS there were two union caucuses
held here, each with a full nomina>
tion, we will not name the candidates
for the Offices, only vote for the
best man.
Jennings Bros. are the only ones
improving at present in the way of
building. They are having their
store room enlarged and porch
built on in front, to be ten feet wide
and two story high, where the finest
view in town can be had of the saw
dust city. They are also having
their offices removed from down
stairs to the second floor, the first
one at the east end will be private
Office furnished off in the latest de-
signs of hard wood and with the
new furniture will be the finest
Office in the county. The second
one will be the book>keeper and
typewriter's room, where may be
found G. NJ. loser, always ready to
do any thing in his power to have
things go along smoothly, and Miss
Clara Ballard is always busy with
her typewriter, and when you visit
this room you will always find it
neat and clean and an up to date
first class office. The next one at
the west end is the one we all like
the best, for it is here where we can
go and get our cash every Goth of
each month and it comes with the
cash as regularly as the Goth comes.
Steafather and sons are doing
the work; that shows that J.
Bros. hire home mechanics when it
is possible. They have also bought
the Trexler & Terrell mill near To-
pez and will use that for q hardwood
mill and will start about the first of
April and will give employment to
another 100 men. Such men as
they are looked for in every town;
they are not only interested in Lo-
PEE and vicinity but directly in the
whole county and indirectly all over
the whole country and that is the
reason why out of every 10 voters
wants Hon. B. w. Jennings to be
a candidate one more term for Rep
resentative, as he knows and We
know that we knows just what the
people want better than anyother
man we can think of in the district,
by the talk of the other people out
side of our town we can hear the
same thing.
Windfeld Potter carries his arm
in sling; hurt at the factory last
