it was at the same time last year

Senator Frank Farris will address
the voters of Iron county at Des Arc,
Annapolis, ~Belleview and Graniteville
during the coming week. Senator
Farris is one of the most eloquent
orators in the state and we hope he
will have big audiences at all his ap-
p~ointments.
Among the visitors to Ironton to
hear Governor Dockery on his recent
visit here was our old friend, C. G.
Lashley of Flat Woods. Mr.. Lashley
is considerably more than four-score
years of age, and yet he seldom misses
a Democratic speaking. If he lives he
will be at the polls on election day,
too.

Rev. II. B. Smith officiating minister.
A cordial invitation is extended to all
to these services.
A subscriber in the north end of the
city says that he recently came across
a full-grown lad practicing throwing
"craps'. First he would toss the dice
out with his right hand and then with
the left. The subscriber says he can't
understand what is to be gained in
practice at sscraps,n
One Of the most serious charges
against Pres. Whitworth is that he
went across the ocean and was gone
one month. Fortunately for him, how
ever, his opponent for Collector, Mr..
Jno. Schwab, also crossed ''the briny''
and staid three months. Both trips, |
suppose, cost some money, but it was
their m%oney-nOt mine. And it cuts
no ice with me as to how they got
their money--since believe they both
came by it honestly-whether in Office
by favor of the people, or in a com
pany store by favor OF a corporation.
1t was in the year 1868 that James
Buford was elected sheriff and col.
l%ector, with a majority Of So votes.
Although all the election machinery
had been in the hands of the Republi.
cans; although hundreds of Democrats
had been debarred from voting
although no vote had been counted ir
favor OF Democratic candidates tina
could by even the tyrannous Republi
can laws be cast out, yet Mr.. Buford't
election was "contested' and for 81,
months he was kept from filling thu
, office to which he had been chosen
That's the sort OF ''fair count" thai
prevailed then. Mr.. W. T. Gay, with
a majority of A votes, in 1894, re
, celved his certificate OF election with
out contest and served out the full
> term of office. That was the Demo
cratic "fair count" Which do yo,

! The card of the Republican candi
. date for Collector reads: ''Vote 10,

: for Collector OF Iron County" | an
told there are others, but | haven
| seen them, and as everybody is speak
ing ''by the card" these times, | will
not ~''statify" beyond what | have see
with my own eyes. Is Mr.. Schwa'
not the Republican nominee for Col
