there is going to be another
newspaper published in clarks-

Sommers, that stalwart champion
of Democracy and pioneer in
journalism. No doubt the spirit
of Jefferson will be revived and
appropriately adorned with its
latest offspring of Free Silver

ance of such a master hand and
facile pen as is characteristic of
our genial friend Cam we may
expect a clever paper.
Apropos of this we could
state that the X-Rav, the Ne,cs and

Speaking of the removal OF the

are aware of the fact that indict-

some of those who are foremost
in opposing the removal of the
bridge and ostearnest in crying
out against t.taxing the dear peo-
pie" Their false statements
were in their dealings with the
assessor in trying to avoid pay

An aged darkey, with snow

stopped near the foot of one OF

monument. He carried in his
trembling hand small bunch OF
yiolets, which he tlmidly asked a
policeman to place at the en-

He helped to make me a free

negro.
The policeman hesitated an in

steps, laid the paltry token OF
gratitude at The foot of one OF the
columns of the tomb.
