lowing:
This county is republican on the
issues now before the nation by at least
800 majority. Yet the successful can
d1dates on either side will be satisfied
with rs or so majority. We expect to
see enough patriotism in this election to

a BURGLAR Bold.

The night was dark, and cloudlets
hid the moon in her meanders; when
trouble came-likewise fame-to the
home of Samuel Sanders. Sam was
away upon the train, whereof he is a
porter, the night things happen'd at his
home which really hadn't orter. 1t
was like this: While Luna hid in
shadow her fair features, to the
Sanders home there CHANGED to roam
some most unwelcome creatures.
Around the house they tramped and
tromped. and at window ratified,
which reused the ire of Mrs. Sam,
who prepared to do 'em battle.
"Go way FIN dar!" she loudly cried;
Ego way. 'r I'll glib yo' troubled" But
at the window or tie door the racket
seemed to double. Again she warned
the burglar bold to "hlke out from dis
portal! or else," said she, ''I'll mighty
soon see daylight for you. poo mortalr
Yet still the BURGLAR seemed to crave
admission to the dwelling. and to the
warning paid no heed-nor cared be
for the yellign. "Here, Jimmie, gil
dat gun right quick. an put bullet
fru' i'm" and Jimmie, as he got the CUR
said 81 won't do ting to 'im!" Bang
went the gun. smash went the glass
inns aim was true for blood, and JUS

with the usual thud. But-holy smoke
This is no ioke-t'was no burglar
young or old, but the family horse
which was made corse by Jimmie
