A Tribute FROM the Other side.

The Memphis Scimltar and the Chat
tanooga Times are pronounced god
standard newspapers, aud it is rare
thing for them to pay tribute To
leader on the silver side of the house.
But in the case of ex Speaker Crisp
they make an exception. His sturdy
LOYALTY and firmness, and the ability with
which he administered his higl Office
made such an impression upon our con
temporaries that they do not disguise the
high esteem in which they hOll the lie IT
gia Congressman. The Scimitar says:
''The Scimitar is Numerically opposed
to the financial vagaries of Mr.. Crisp, but
il takes pleasure ia making its compIi
ments 20 him as leader of tn minDrir Y
in the house. He is cool, Tesourcefll
and skilled in speech, and will be at
great service to his party on the floor"
The Times recently closed an editorial

cy by saying:

TO say that Crisp is not a considerable

DAWSORS FAIL TRADE.

Dawson's fall trade held up remarkably
we'll throughout all the business season
notwithstanding a very short local cot
ton crop.
Business steadily improved from the
first day of September
Atno time has there been the shghtesl
appearance of fictitious or boosted
trade. and what has been done has been
the result of the splendid advantages
that this city enjoys as trade centre
There have been no bats thrown out to
cause squirt for a few days; no trade
DAYS. and nothing but the conservative
solid and honest methods which the
merchants here offer to buyers through
out this section.
Our best posted business men say that
trade in all lines was never better in the
history of the city than it has been this
season, There is not business in the
city that has not felt it.
This fact speaks volumes for Dawson
ard this section. 1t shows that Dawson
is maintaining it's lead as trade centre,
and that the people contiguous to this
section are in fairly prosperous condl-

ONE of the very best things Dawson
could do during the year 1896 would be
t use every effort to encourage the loca-
lion If manufacturing industries within
her bordeas. Manufactures must nee
essarily play an important part in the
prosperity of Dawson. Several reasons
make this true, and the sooner we recog-
nz. it and go to work upon this line the
better it will be for the general interests
of Daws son. Let our public spirited
business men think ever this and be
prepared to give encouragem ent to such
enterprises. Dawson should bestir herr
stir in the matter.

Lazy, TRICKY MORSE.
He Played Lame and Was Well Named the

He Played Lame and Was Well Named the
Artfui Dodser.
Some horses are as lazy as some men,
and perhaps it would be equally true
to say that some horses are as cunning
as some men, but not many ever com.
bino the two qualities Of laziness and
cunning better than one whose per-
formances are chronicled by Lady
Barker. He was one of her horse
friends in New Zealanl, christened
Artful Dodgor, says the New York
Mercury.
This name was given to him on ae-
count of the trick of counterfeiting
lameness the moment he was put into
the shafts of dray. That is to say,
il the dray was loaded. So long as it
was empty. or nearly 80, the Dodger
stepped out gayly, but If he found it
ut all heavy ho affected to fall dead
lame.
More than once, with now driver,
this trick had succeeded 10 perfection,
and the Dodger found himself back
again in his stall with rack Of hay
before him, while his deluded owner
or driver was trying to find substi-
tute in the shafts.
!, In order to induce the Dodger to act
his part thoroughly drayman was one
day appointed whom tho horse had
never seen. Tho moment the signal
was given TO start, the Dodger, after
a glance around which plainly said 81
wonder il l might try it on you?''
took step fowrard and almost fell
down, no desperate was his lameness.
Tho driver, who was we'll instructed
in his part, ran around and lifted up
ono sturdy leg after the othor, with
every appearance of tho deepest con
corn. Thus encouraged, the Dodger
uttered groan, hut still seemed deter.
mined to do his best, and limped and
stumbled yard or two farther on.
II seemed impossible to believo the
horse TO he quite sound, but the
moment had come TO unmask him.
His master stopped forward, and, pull
ing first one cunning ear on the alert
for every word and then the other,
cried:
at won't do, sir Step out, directly,
and don't lot US have any nonsense y
Tho Dodger groancd again'-this tim,
from his hoart, prohably-shook him
self, and, leaning well forward in his biz
collar, stepped out without a murmur
