Friday. March IA, closed the term
of the Saline Valley school, District
No. 9. At noon, the parents and
friends of the pupils arrived at the
school house with well filled baskets.
The teacher, Mrs. Clara ID. Smith,

NOTES FROM DORIE.
He Has Decided to Enter the Contest
for an Office Which Is Considered
Indecent

Dorrence Buckley Burdette was in,
yesterday with his usual weekly bud
get and handed his rolled manuscript
TO The Tribune man. In his news let
ter he announces his candidacy for the
office of constable in his section, an
Office which is termed indecent by the
voters OF Greenfield. Dorie does not
set forth any arguments in defence of
the office, but tells of his candidacy
In the following few words:
There seems to he lots of dissatis-
faction in our town in regard to the
men that are asking for the Office of
constable. This is the way they talk
to me-. Say, Burdick, why don't you
get some decent man to run for that
office" Well, my answer is no decent
man would take the Office. why not
take it yourself they say to me, and
one man told me yesterday morning
il YOU will take the office I will see
that you are elected without any eX-
pense to you. Now that is quite
temptation as the Office would get
splendidly along with tax collector,
which l expect next year, but to be
called not u decent man would hurt
the feelings of my proud wife and
cerned, don't care what they call me
so | get an Office or two. We'll, If my
neighbors are bound to run a decent
man for the office of constable. sail in
and elect me or any other man whom
you see fit. | don't think that any
voter Is under any obligations to the
so-called Union caucus. 1t was moth
ing but a fake.
"If L am the man you want just let
your votes say so ON election day. and
if it be the will of the majority that +
am the decent man for the indecent
office, | will do what l think is my
duty, regardless of friend or foe.
Il was the guest recently of the
Columbia fire laddies at their fair and
their reception committee certainly
treated me fine. The ladies and young
men all appeared quite glad to see me,
and / made quite a few friends When
they heard [ was looking for Office they
wanted to know if they could not help
me by moving out to our section. I
appreciated their decision. but did not
like to have them leave here, and so
they Will not come out. They left the
decision in my hand and / decided in
favor of Carbondale. 1 have to leave
now as [ am due at a rally tonight
