The Bailey-Copeland Company's

M. w. Bobo must have the contract
for furnishing molasses for every family
in the county. We were in the depot
one day this week and noticed 80 barrels,
large and small, of molasses for M. w.
Bobo. The delivery clerk told us he
got bigger lot than that few weeks
ago. Seems he intends to sweeten up
things around Union county.

Niooers i'm the White House.

(Six Months Hence.)
Things at the White House
Looking mighty curious;
Niggers running everywhere,
White people furious.
Nipge on the front porch,
Niggers on the gable,
Niggers in the dining room,
Niggers at the table.
Niggers in the sitting room,
Making all the talk;
Niggers i'm the ballroom
Doing the cake walk.
Niggers in the east room
Make mighty th'ong,
Nlggers in the music room
singin' a coon song.
| Niggers in the hallway
Taking off their wraps,
Niggers in the billiard room
Shooting game OF craps.
Niggers in the store room
Packing way their plunder,
Niggers in the bedroom
Snoring like thunder.
Not room ia the White House
Without niggers many;
Baby in nursery
A nigger pichaninny.
Niggers on the stairway
With much safety,
Niggers in the blue room
Assembled for society.
Niggers in the front yard,
Niggers in the back;
Niggers in the omnibus,
And niggers come in hack.
r On they go to Washington
With mighty rush;
Forty thousands niggers
Getting in the push.
There is trouble in the White House
More than you can tell,
} Yelling like wild men,
Niggers raisin' hell.
I see a way to settle it,
Just as clear as water
Let Mr.. Booker Washington
Marry Teddy's daughter.
Or. if this does not overflow
Teddy's cup of joy, ,u,
Then let Miss Dinah Washington
Marry Teddy's boy.
But everything is settled;
Roosevelt is dead,
Nigpers in the White House
Cut off Teddy's head.

Tom Nevln Of Adrian, Michigan,
Swindled Many Persons,
HE WAS MAYOR OF HIS TOWN
served a Term nj Jackson Now ue
Win be Made u Member OF state
Board OF Control.

jackson, Mich, Jan, 16.-Tom Ma
yin, who was released from the Mich
lgan state prison in 1880. will be APP
pointed a member OF the state prison
board Of control by Gov. Aaron T..
Rllss.
In 1881, at the age Of &c years, Thorn
as j. Nayin was elected mayor of Adr-
an, one Of the most enterpnslng Of
Mchlgan's small towns. He was one
Of the leading citizens Of the state. on
March |, 1855. he was taken 1t prisoner
to the state prison at Jackson. and he
served for nearly five years. He was
released In 1890.
On Feb, 10. 1903 rumor has il, Mr.
Navin Will by appointment Of the gov
ernor Of the state Of Michigan, become
a member of the board OF control OF the
very institution In which he suffered
punishment, TO succeed II. $. Holmes
Of Chelsea, the present member. Coy.
Bliss does not deny the rumor.
II Is doubtful If real life has an in
stance OF more interesting romance
than Is included In the foregoing para
graphs. II recalls Victor Hugos mas
terpiece, the story of Jean Vatican. the
immortal convict and magistrate.
Tom Navln 20 years ago was popu-
lar kid Mayor Of Adrian. As such
he won the confidence Of the people,
and was thus enabled 20 work some OF
the boldest frauds In the history OF the
state.
There was q long string to his kite of
criminal doings, and when the crash
came people who never knew Tom Ma
yin personally found that their farms
had been covered with forged mort
g9ges, Navin absconded and remained
somewhere in the far west for about
three years. However never was he
satisfied to settle down and spend the
lll-gotten gain, several thousand dol
lars. Haunted by his misdeeds and the
impression that officers were always
after him, Nayin returned 70 Michigan
ana gave himself up. He was sentenced
TO serve 10 years, but earned plenty OF
good time by his good behavior. and
Warden Hatch was more than good 20
HIM.
Navin always had a faculty OF gain
ing peoples confidence. and II worked
with the warden to the extent that Ma
win nearly ran the prison while an in
mate Of the institution.
Since ne was liberated Nayin has been
an attorney In Detroit. He has never
lost his suave manner aud mis- ability
Of winning people. He is now a popular
political manager and has shown
marked ability He has won the friend
ship and confidence of Coy. Bliss.
The Republicans in some parts of
the state are bucking the plan to ap-
point Navin, on the ground that his
record is a serious rejection upon the
Republican party In Michigan.
Nothing in a long tine has so stirred
the leading Republicans as Gov. Bliss
alleged purpose to appoint Tom Navln.
