for who is il that does not know
that a Texarkana negro expects
pay when be presents himself at
the polls.

"a little nonsense now and then,
Is relished by the wisest men.
Editor Beard, like all newspaper
men, ran up against nest of de-
linquents. Charlie got caught un-
der an avalanche.
L. D. Reese, who was a good man
and made a good alderman, drew a
blank when asked to be returned.
Holy smoke-Mayor Hardin didn't
do a thing to Caesar.
"Don Caesar" should now dry
dock himself, get the baruacles
scraped off his hull, paint himself a
deep lead color, trade off his light
calibre guns for torpedo tubes and
be ready for the next engagement
two years hence.

Elmo Baron is a young man and
induced to run just to scare jim
Mercer, and he did keep powerful

him hump himself to get out first.
NJ. c. Lively perhaps thinks that
there will come a day when he will
be better acquainted with the peo-
pie and they will appreciate his
! good qualities of heart and mind.
Uriah Carpenter is an old horse
on the political track and has done
some good running in his day, but
is now stiff with age and should
know better than to run againsl
new nags.
That Young man who voted those
repeaters, is old enough to know
better than to try and debauch a
Texarkana ballot box. He should
now promise himself to quit such
small business.
If County Attorney Brooks will
take those ballot box repeaters and
give them d good dressing down, il
will purge our city of many Of the
hobo voters on election day,

Tom Estes was a hot tamale, even
in ward three.
