Our esteemed contemporary, the

the political fence" so long that he
actually split in two, landing on

ley side, the other on the Dubois
silver side. But he considers
county issues of far more impor-
tance to his prosperity than national
issues, and hence he wants the peo-
pie of Gilmore to help him elect the
Republican county ticket. Proba-
bly, they will and probably they
won't.

vene at Mountain Home on Thurs

room. The primaries are to be
held next Saturday and it is sim
cerely hoped that the best men of
each party will be sent to the con-
ventions as delegates, and that they.
in turn, will lay aside all personal
considerations and put up county
ticket composed of the very best
material. 1t must be done to win
the fight in this county.

struck the fence in front of w. d.
Reynolds residence, where the
horses fell Fortunately no one
was injured. Brave boy, Chris.

WATSON TALKS OF KANSAS.
He Had Something to Say About the
Fusion in This State.

Atlanta, Ca, Oct. 3L-Watson spoke
at Sandersville yesterday in behalf of
West the Populist candidate for con-
gress in the Tenth district.
He expressed sincere desire that he
be elected at all hazards. Respecting
himself he said among other things;
Z am out of the race in Georgia. There
are two tickets you can vote next Tues
day-Bryan and SewaH, or Mckinley
and Hobart, and if you can't stand
either, stay a home"
He paid his respects to the fusion
which has been effected in various
states, especially Kansas; and as to
North Carolina he said Butler had ar
ranged the most beautiful fusion he
ever saw.
If were to go into that state to
say? I could only repeat the ten com
mandments, say the Lords prayer and
dismiss the congregation.
Mr.. Watson is not looking well, his
voice is not strong and he seems to be
faded
