labor. Usually the cheaper

or set of men dependent solely

The charges made against one
Henry Daugherty, of Houston,
of rape. have proven to be a
blackmailing scheme, and we are
only too glad to set Mr.. Daugh-

awarded to Con. Hurst for the
sum of S4s5.O0. Repairs on this
bridge is throwing money away,
for the bridge in question has be-
come so decayed by age that it
is liable to collapse at any time.
With what money there is in the
Bridge Fund, and some added TO
it, new bridge could be put in.
The wife of a merchant in an

We might almost be forgiven for
suggesting that the lady was a
bird.

crat will soon make its bow to

ed from the democratic party for
booming said party in power, it
will live in hope and die
natural death. Any party that
will not support its friends is not
worthy of consideration.

Smallpox is now pretty well
under control at this place and
is confined TO two families. If a
strict quarantine is kept over
these homes, we coincide with
DR.. Huston. that it is not neces-
sary to close public meetings and
gatherings, unless the malady
should break out in new quar-
