about silver?
Is Silver the Alpha and Omega of

Can't belabored citizen be allow

Opposes "Horse-SWapping'
DQU,

EDITORS BULLETIN-I wish to say
something through the columns of
the BULLETIN in regard to the Gus
tom of persons meeting in the town
of Bolivar on the first Monday in
every month for the purpose of
trading horses. l cannot see one
particle of good resulting from it,
but can see a great deal of evil in it.;
and in fact think it one of the
worst evils ever inflicted upon the
fair name Of Bolivar and Hardeman
County. IF there is any law or
means by which 1t can be broken
up, think IL should be done. Ev-
cry laW-abiding citizen, who has
the good of his country at heart,
should use every means within his
power to stop the evil practice.
The citizens who are living upon
the public highways leading to the
county seat, among the number
being the writer of this article,
have become very much annoyed at
the drunken wretches returning
from trade day. The yells, oaths,
vile AMI indecent language used by
them, within the hearing of my
wife and daughters, and all others
living upon the different roads lead
ing to Bolivar, are disgraceful. If
we were not in a civilized and
christianized country, one would
think the yells of those returning
home at night from these trading
days" emenated from the Threats of
savages. Such behavior is corrupt
ing to the morals of our country.
In condemning 1t, language too
strong cannot be used. l do hope
that the good citizens of Bolivar
and the surrounding community
will take steps at once to put stop
to the practice of trading and swap
ping horses at the county seat the
first Monday in each month.

THERE is at least one in

THERE is at least one in
stance on record where a man
was punished for being po-
lite. In Washington the
other day, Senator Hoar, of
Massachusetts, became infu-
rated because a cable-car
conductor assisted him upon
the car. Hoar is said to spurn
the insinuation that he is
feeble or needs assistance,
although passed the allotted
age of three score years and
ten. He abused the conduc-
tor disgracefully, in the
presence of ladies, and even
went so far as to report him
to the president of the road,
who, as a punishment, drop
ped the conductors name
from the pay roll for thirty
days. 1t seems to us that if
any action was taken at all in
regard to the matter, the
proper thing would have
been for the United States
Senate to have passed reso-
lutions censuring the hoary-
headed Senator for his I'M
gentlemanly conduct; and
then the president of that
road ought to be impeached.
