THE MAN ABOUT TOWN.

THE MAN ABOUT TOWN
Nearly 800 were paid in scalp boun-
ties during the last three months. Ex-
anime the list and see who were bene-
ficiaries. keeping in mind that six
merchants accepted the scalps as cash
and then waited three months for
their money. In such cases the names
of persons receiving the benefits of
the bounty in advance do not appear
in the list. See how many of these
beneficiaries are opposing the High
school on the ground of taxation. One
man last week boasted that he earned
81 of scalp bounty in less than an hour
and in sight of his house and yet
while holding the money in his hand
he refused to favor the High school
measure in any way because it would
increase taxation. Added to this
abundance of gall he had the nerve to
admit that he paid no taxes and
would not for several year. We are
glad to know that he does not belong
to our party and we need not say that
he does not read THE WORLD.

Young. of Franklin, and Commits
Sloner HInShaw renew their faith in
the Independent" Just so, These
staunch Republicans read both sides
and pay for it as all good citizens
should do. 1t Is also fitting and per-
haps necessary that they should renew
their faith once in a while especially
in preparation for such storms of
abuse and malicious falsehood as was
heaped upon the commissioners by
the Independent last Saturday New
er mind it, gentlemen of the .'long
end." Fervent faith, like a grain of
mustard seed which grows up and
provides a roosting place for the fowls
(fouls) of the air, will enable you to
love your enemies and dog good to them
that hate you and deSpitefully use
you although you may recall other
scripture words not quite so consola-
tory.
The independent is already worried
about Republican candidates that are
to prove surprise and dSappoint-
ment''-to their opponents. Don't
lament, brother! Republicans will
name their own candidates in good
time without your help and they will
all be of that kind. BY the way. do
you remember that the fusionsts
groomed a candidate two years ago
who proved a disappointment to the
conservative voters of all parties
within three months after his cleo
tion and still continues his littleness?
Don't lament about that, either, be-
cause they will put an end to it at the
first opportunity

Why not man-dam-uS the ''long

are compelled to depend upon thumb

An eastern paper sprung the old
chestnut that Judge Monroe had ap-
pointed his wife court reporter. and
the Independent copied it as slur
upon Judge Monroe, no doubt.

The Independent said last week
that the Republicans were grooming
4 man for Office who would be '.sur-
prise and disappointment" To which
we retaliate that the Pops are groom
ng man who is an .'infidel, carpet
Dagger and poker player for one of
1he best paying offices. This is no
lie but the unvarnished
ruth.
