letter. with I'D in one corner in b.ue, and
raised letters Executive Mansion"
lie danced around a while and then
showed it to the folks and some one took
a pair Of scissors and shipped off the end
and out slipped a letter from the White
House.
Una Johnson Is a little colored boy. the
son Of D. Johnson Una watched all
those torchlight professions he heard a
lot Of speeches, saw the Eagles big cam
paign banner and concluded thar Nc
Kinley was all right
But he was awfully afraid Mckinley
wouldn't get there He heard ne Bryan
men talking pretty big and he was
awfully worried.
But election night he heard that Nc
BinIey. the man with the big kind fare,
had won, and he told his folks he would
have to write to Mckinley and copgratu-
late him. They tried to dissuade him but
ne wouldn't listen to them Two days
later he sat down and laboriously con
structed a letter TO the president put a
red stamp In one corner and ropped II IN
The mail box at the corner.
Now usually when men write cougratu-
latons to an elected president the sec
rotary sends back a formal printed fern

received The letter was written and
read:
Dear Master johnson: 7 beg leave to
acknowledge the receipt of your letter Of

p-essions. Assuring you that your kindly
thoughtfulness is appreciated, I am very
truly yours.

blackstone inside out to get a case
against Mr.. George Dickson Of this city.
His oifense lis impersonating a judge.
The law SO far as found has nothing to
say GA the subject. There is a penalty
for imbersonaung an officer but none
apparently for impersouating a judge.
Yesterday George Dickson was walk

preached by a colored lady who said:

Then George Dickson walked of, only

The lady plaintiff went up 10 Blake &
Ayers office and cleaned lawyer Blake
out good and hard, although he tried TO
eplain to her that the case was not on
the docket. WIN Ayers came in and listen /

Stuck to His Post.

When it comes to a battle, a horse
shows no fear of death, no sign of be-
ing overcome by panic, in all the wild
tumult Of the battles roar A horse
in one of our batteries in the Murfrees-
boro fight was hit by piece of shell,
which split his skull so that one side
was loosened. The driver turned him
loose, but when he saw the team he
had worked with being driven back
for ammunition he ran to his old place
and galloped back with the rest. When
an officer pushed him aside to have
another horse put in, he gazed at the
new one with a most sorrowful ex-
preston in his eyes. Then he seemed
to realize that the battle was no more
for him, and he walked away and lay
down and died. The officer declared
that it was broken heart that killed
him.-Our Dumb Animals.
