MIST Have the 8

From the Louisiana MOI Press.
An exchange came to us last week
with a blue mark around an editorial
booming a candidate for Office.
A printed slip pasted to the paper
kindly requested US if We said any
thing about the candidates candidacy
to send him a marked copy of the
paper.
We didn't do it.
We amt a going to do it.
We amt saying a word.
We amt going to say a word
Unless
The cash is in sight,
And we can see the smiling face of
the Goddess of Liberty on one side of
the dollar of our dads and count the
tail feathers in the great American
Eagle on the other.
In times past we have given away
columns of space and reams of paper
and great gobs of ink in a political
campaign.
And what did we get in return?
Nothing but the privilege of wading
in the mud behind the band wagon
in a torchlight procession and spilling
coal Oil on our only coat and getting
shot in the eye with a Roman candle.
But times have changed and our
feelings have changed.
Everything has changed except our
pockets.
There is no change there.
We are a Democrat, but we amt no
pack mule to carry candidates into
office and get the cold shoulder,
And perhaps the cold mutton, after
the election.
Our enthusiasm is gone.
1t has leaked through the holes in
our elbows and escaped through the
apertures in our pants.
Glory is a good thing, but cold cash
is better.
Campaign thunder will no longer
r~everberate throughout these columns
except at so much per thunder.
Our campaign rooster has to be fed,
and wherewith shall we feed him?
He's lost his tail feather from the
last campaign and needs some extract
of silver right now.
Our tow line is sagging in the mid
die and unraveled at the ends.
The candidate is out for the office.
We are out for the stuff.

Cancer
the Breast.

Mr.. A. H. Crausby is one of the best
known and most highly respected citi-
zens of Memphis, and resides at 15s
Kerr street in that city.
Some years ago his wife noticed a
small lurnpin her breast. She thought
nothing of it, but it increased III size
rapidly, and soon broke through the
skin and commenced to discharge.
She was at once put under treatment
of the best physicians, but they very
soon found that they could do her no
good, and simply prescribed antiseptics
to keep the place clean. Both her
grandmother and aunt, by the way,
had died with ANGER, and when APP
prised of this fact the doctors said that
they would not attempt to save her;
that h was i~ncurable. Although the
cancer had by this time become deep
seated and her health very low, one of
the most noted specialists of New York
then treated her. After treating her
awhile, this doctor admitted that the
