The Tale Bearer.

OF all the creatures of Gods
creation the calicious tale. bearer is
most to be feared. He is an abOr.
ton of manhood. He is a miscreant
He strikes lu the dark. He stabs
in the back. He murders charac.
tiers. He betrays good names. He
Stays bonor. He enstranges friends.
He stirs up strife. He ruins lives.
He causes deaths. He is more
dangerous than the mad dog. He
is more to be feared than the most
venomOus serpent. The poision OF
his whisper is more deadly than
malignant diseases. The stab OF
his tongue is more fatal than the
murderer's dirk. He is the assass-
| in of all that is good and noble and
true in hun anity. He kisses the
hand and stabs to the heart. The
sanctity OF our home, honor, reputa-
ton. disappears before him. he
is a liar and scoundrel. He is q
coward and sneak. Turn deaf
ear toward him! Watch him! Mark
him? Boot him and throw your
boot away.-Kenton Argus.

This county was conceded to Evans,

The Bonneville Banner gives
some valuable hints on "political
farming", and shows that the Mis-
sissippi farmer Is equally as much
interested in the kind of political
seed he sows as in the kind of crop
he put in the soil. Says the Ban.
ner: ain Mississippi the farmer
compOses about 80 per cent of the
population. What he sows he
reaps, whether in seed or in politics.
Ii he diversifies his crops and
makes everything he cali at home,
his surplus crop yields him surplus
money. II he allows the offices to
be filled with demagogues he is
sure to reap a corp of incompetency
and higher taxes. Next year the
farmers will be called on to select a
new crop of officials FROM governor
to beat constable. Let them weed
out the sorry candidates just as
they would pick their seed corn.
Then when they come to harvest
they will not fiud anything 10 be
ashamed of in the matter of the
