Political Matters-A. s. Johnson Makes A
Speech.

have commenced music and are very
much interested.
Miss Katie Mattingly has spent sever
al weeks with Miss Ida Edmunds and
Mrs. Chas. Coleman.
Miss Ida Haynes spent Saturday and
Sunday at home. She looks well and
has nice class at Enron.

NAL.
Clinton Crutcher, OF Garrett, was in
town last Thursday-McKinley Day but
Clint don't incline that way. He ex-
poets to sell his farm soon and make a
change of residence.
There is a nice, new baby at Mr.. and
Mrs. A. S. Johnson's-it is not a voter
but its vocation can be the highest, the
hottest; ministering for the good Of
voters and guarding them from desecra-
ton.
Miss Rec Washington spent a day or
two OF last week with Miss Jen Hardin
We all enjoyed her music. She is a
soulful performer and she is, as well, one
of strong individuality which is a rara
dris this day and age.
Miss frankie Conway, the popular
teacher at Garrett, was here last Thurs
day to hear the Hon. J. w. Lewis speak
frankie is the onlyMcKinley advocate in
that little town but she has enthusiasm
enough to make up the deficiency.
There was not much enthusiasm last
Thursday at the Mckinley fag-raising
and speaking. About three or four hun
bred people were in town but everything
was quiet. The merchants had a good
day and everybody seemed to be in a
good humor.
The literary and musical exercises Of
the Brandenburg Normal last Friday
were quite interesting. Each pupil re-
sponded cheerfully to his or her part
assigned and quite creditably. Next
Friday night the society will hold its
second meeting.
In reply to 10Y letter asking Gen. S. B.
Buckner for a speech he says, any
movements are subject to the orders of
the National Campaign Committee and
cannot make the appointment" He
then expresses himself as liking to be
with us and we hope, yet, to have him.
What grand gift from our Heavenly
Father is pleasant gracious address and
manner. 1t is more to be coveted than
riches Education, intellect, religion all
fall short if ones deficient in this great
attribute. For all these can be- pos essed
and yet the individual can repel-a kind
ly smile, hearty greeting,a warm 1ani-
shake means volumes.

Inconsistencies strung rather loosely NOW

The Rev. q B. OyCrton is our Presid-
ing Elder. Brother Overton was a pup'l
here in Prof. D. G. Culley's school when
it was at the zenith Of his glory He
will find the old Masonic Hall sta lding

delivery and kindly, Christian utternces.
Let us hope tie year may be full OF good
fruit.
Mr.. A. S. Johnson, prominent Popu-
list and late editor OF the Free Republic,
made a rousing speech at the courthouse
last Friday nifht before the Free Silver
Club. He dwelt chiefly (rm told) in the
"Now and Then" and most appropriately
1t is time for "reminiscences and re-
minders. Hon. Chapeze Wathen also
spoke and Commonwealth Atty, Mr..
Chelf. Cleveland, Buckner and all in
the same category were dismantled and
shorn OF what glory and prestige they
are supposed to have originally possessed
just as William Jennings Bryan is
suffering at the hands and from the lips
of the opposite persuasion-all claiming
to be followers OF the pioneer standard
