Now that Mr. Albert e. Barnett has
seen tit to bolt the democratic party and
join the goldbug McKinleyites II is in or
der for him to burn those letters written
about Captain Kolb. When the demo-
Gratis of ALBANIA learn OF this bolt Of
Dear Albert" made famous at one time
in Alabama by his letters. their minds
can but revert to the old gentleman who
sat for several days in the rotunda of the
Exchange hotel placed there during the
convention by Dear Albert" as a living
picture, to defeat the nomination Of the
genial Reuben. And how their hearts
will burn at the thought that our Dear
Albert" who was SO eager at one time to
send Kolb to the devil, has himself gone
to the RADICALS and burned the bridges
behind him.
Viewing the departure of Dear AL
bert" one is forcibly reminded of the
escapade of Bill Arp as he refugeed from
Rome, Ga, during the war. Seeing the
"yanks" approaching Bill jumped into an
OK cart and pulled the ox's tail through
an auger hole in the front gate and tied
it in a knot. AS the apt thought put new
metal in the feet of the OK he fed on the
wings of the wind and Bill cast a long
and wistful look at the home of his old
friend, Big John, and sang:
Goodbye, John, goodbye,
Its painful to my heart
This faithful steer will pull me out
If the tail knot holds the cart"
