Many stories are told OF the clever

Of these stories tells how the raven by
a skillful stratagem got young hare

the little animal. but the mother hare
drove 1t away Then the raven slowly
retreated. encouraging the mother to
follow him, and even pretending that
he was afraid OF her. In this fashion
he led her a considerable distance
from the young one and then suddenly,
before the hare had time 10 realize the
meaning OF the trick, he rose in the

hare In his beak and bore IL away.

at Mar,insburg. w. Va, during the
rebellion and their transfer across the
country for service on southern rail-
roads by Col. Thomas Sharp, who Is
still living in Ohio. Recently, an OF

I coal over Al engines and nearly 4oo
cars and then set fire TO them. Only
ten or twelve of the engines, however,
were seriously damaged, and these not

The lbervillc South says we fa-
vor primaries for the nomination
Of all otficials-parish, district
and State.
Candidates for parish and dis
trlct offices should be nominated
by direct vote of the people, and
the delegates to the State Con
vention should be voted for di-
rectly by the people. We are
opposed to conventions. The
committees representing the par
ty in this parish (IbervilIe) and
district, we believe, will order
primaries and every man have
voice in the nomination of can
dldates for office. Any man and
every man who opposes nomina-
tions b. primary elections is
afraid Of the people and all such
should be defeated.
We are unalterably opposed to
machine" nominations and all
attempts at such should be frus-
trated.
