was Just downright mean." SO say
some. The people connected with the
storm party which did not get the
hospitable reception looked for, are
saying some people are real funny.
Out in the country where they have
charivaris, the folks never know when
their guests are coming, but always
glad to open their doors and make
the visitors have pleasant time.
There is no use for a man getting
excited about his smartness because
his wife boosts him heavily. The wo-
man is not to blame, but the man
should have better sense.

THE FARCE ENDED.

That legal farce that lasted
nearly three weeks at LeXing
tan has ended, and this com
nGunity as a whole is incensed
and shocked at the verdict.
How any jury that was not
packed and that had any regard
fer their oaths could find such
a verdict from the evidence
that was presented to them in
the case, is difficult to under
stand. While Mr.. Gonzales was
going quietly to his dinner, un
AIMED and endeavoring to keep
out of Tillman's way, he is shot
down by J. III. Tillman without
giving him a dogs chance, just
as he had threatened time and
time again he would do-just
"a he threatened he would do,
in the presence of at least three
citizens of this county while he
was here at the campaign meet
isg last year; yet that Lexing-
ten jury says he is not guilty
of murder But we believe
that the great jury of the peo
pie who have followed the evi.
dence in the case as closely as
