gsli.9 that Inc klhd he deals in IS enough
to disgust any'esdy."
The Huntsville Tribune gives this ac-
count OF pec1i ar sp se1men CT the genus
hu1J9 ulo in Arkansas:
There is a d.moarait in Arkansas
NAMED Hartsell Nipo refused TO use his
Sunday per diem as a leg.s1sl or, but re-
turned IL TO lhe sek5el fund. The tan
cent museum maa are h5t after him. He
is iti1eed the leading curiosity of the gov
errment."
M. White. + tae NJ ri on Advertiser, is
very sc9icJdJais about its sub-f .bers' moral
aanding. Ut says:
I'VE heard preacher say he other day
SAT no man GOULD gc,to heaven with an
o.her mans money in his pocket or rid
ing another mans horse. IL this is true,
and we believe it is, we lament the com
ditl.on of some CT oursu'5sr.bers."
There are great many crasks In the
wo1rd, and of various degrees, but that
there are such people as the Huntsville
Tribune speaks of in the following, many
people seriously doubt:
IAN exchange says "a gold standard
man i'm Indiana refused to celebrate the
twenty-fifth anniversary of his marriage,
beeausls' 1t was his SILVER wedding This
is offset by silver man in Illinois who
refused to have gold filing put in his
teeth We presume from the above boy
colt that the 'straddlsrs' will have to
wear Waterbury watches to keep up with
the procession of fools"
The Luverna Journal evidently COM
msnds Gov. Johnston ard his admnistra-
ton. 1t says:
THAT good old man, e. B. Lott, who
81 nv o. OH
Johnston has turned up short in his ac-
counts, and it now looks as if he will go
to the penitentiary for purloining the
money of the people that he collected as
tax collector of Mobile county. Go it,
governor; ami, by the eternal your re-
election will be made unanimous"
ut seems that Charley Lane is not so
anxious to make the race for governor as
the republican nominee after all. In his
paper, the Tribune he says:
This Mobile Register thinks the repub-
ucln party of the state could go fulsher
and do worse than nominatei Chas. p
Lane for governor. We opine that I'VE
can edit the Tribune stay at home, and
do better than by being candidate. Lst
others do the running, we will be either
starter of the horses or Z. judge of the
race There is nothing SO philosophical
aus a fellow keeping his seat in these days
of political adversely and uncertainty"
The Selma, Times thinks, that the state
has had enough trouble with Tax Collect
or Lott, and the best thing to be done
is to get lid of him. 1t says:
Tax Collector Lott Of Mobile, must
go. He has been a bone of contention
for years and now that Governor john
ston has gotten straight after him, large
defalcations have been found in his Of
flee. We are sorry for old man Lott. 1t
is not his fault Those in his office are to
blame. He has been imposed on by
/ friends" and relatives, Systematically
robbed, and 1T becomes the governors
duty to remove the old man. 1t is very
painful duty, but there is no help for it.
Mr.. Lott, in allowing him to remain i'm
office as long as he has, but the time
has now come when the old fellow must
walk the plank"
Mr.. Nunnalee, of the Selma Times, adj
mires Chayley Lame, even though he bs
a turncoat. 1t says:
"Dt is said that Charlie Lane, of the
Huntsville Tribune, will be the republic,
can candidate for governor. If he is he
will make things lively. Charley has
brains and knows how to use them. He
is g. brilliantly erratic fellow, and he
would give us a stirring campaign from
start to finish. Charlie changes his mind
very often, but we don't know but that
is a good idea In real hot weather. 1t
Keeps his readers guessing as to what his
next move will be. While Charlie Lane
has been a democrat, greenbacker, repub-
lican, populist, etc, at different times,
personally he is a clean man and we new
er heard of his doing single dishonora-
BILE act. We would prefer him for the re-
publican candidate over any other man
in that party"
