we called to see and renew our
acduaintance with our true and
tried friend, Mrs. Dora Reeves, OF
Union City, last Saturday, whom
We had not met for more than nine
&en years, and while we found
t:fifa and trouble had made
some changes on her, we also re-
Xngn.zed in her the same Dora,
With the same sweet, womanly dis

We were schoolmates and friends.
Al prominent prohibitionist and
e citizen Of Number Seven, and'an
old friend of ours, came up to me
first Monday in Septemberand said:
III want you to run tor sheriff, you
can sure be elected" My, how we
did swell up. We actually thought
the streets too narrow for us to
to squeeze through. Well, we just
felt fiattered. A fellow who never
had such feelings don't know any
thing about it. My first impulse
was rich pain had struck me and
/ walked up those narrow streets
thinking how grand to be the high
sheriff of the proud county OF
Obion, but how sad when the
thought flashed over me that l was
not vet elected. AS l thought over
the duties of a sheriff and the dan
ger he had. to face and the bad fell
lows he had to arrest-well, say,
/ could not think Of but one fellow
in the whole county that believe
/ could have arrested, or that l
would be willing to try to arrest,

awfully and is sometimes employed
by them to ride bicycle in theil
show window for the amusemen,
Of the passers 5y. But our heart
fails us when we are reminded Of
how we got fooled once before

was talking about and have no
tried it since. Nor am ! gong t
