These are political times in
Challis. The politician is our
shepherd. We shall not want
for anything during the cam
paign. He leadeth US into the
saloon for our votes sake. He
filleth our pocket with poor Gig
ars and our beer glass runneth
over. He enquireth concerning
our family even unto the fourth
generation. Yea, even though
we walk through the mud and
rain to vote for him, and shout
ourself hoarse at his election, he
straightway forgetteth US. AL
though we meet him upon the
streets he knoweth US not. Sure
ly, the wool has been pulled over
our eyes all the days of our life.

Judge Parker has shown him.

izer in the country. There isn't
a factional quarrel anywhere in
the party. A harmonious and
united party means certain dem.

Secretary Hay made a very
felicitous speech at the peace
conference in Boston. This is a
queer performance for the pre-.
mier of the Cabinet of our great
war lord in the White House.
Gov. LaFollette of Wisconsin,

faction downs him at the polls,

The republicans have been
boasting for eight years of hav-
ing put free silver beneath the
sod; it now seems they are NOV
ing Heaven and earth to resur-
rect it again.
The fiscal year ending June 80,
1904, shows $40, 100000 expend-
ed in excess of receipts-the first
three months of this year re-
ceipts ran $17, 10000 behind ex-
penditures. The government
surely needs a safe and sane man
to run it's affairs. It could do no
better than engage the services
of one Alton B. Parker.
A Vermont man was sentenced
to five years in the penitentiary

thief drew an eight year term.

South Dakota has such a glo-

A giddy mail.carrier of the

New York girl. Sort OF swap

We advise the President to
hurry up with that Thanksgiv-

will have such a virulent attack
of the blues in November, that
he will have no gratitude in his

Des Are Items.

We are sorry to see so much
personal fighting in our county
papers. No one is benefited by
it. We have good and bad men
in both parties, and as this is a
free country we ought not to fall
out with our fellow man because
we don't think alike.
E. w. Graves has found out that
an inspirator will throw water a
quarter of a mile and sixty feet
high into his water tank; it also
heats the water, which enables
him to have hot water for his bath
tub, store and other buildings.
This is a new discovery to our mill
men. Before this he had to buy
an extra pump that cost S26 to
throw this water.
A good many of our country
cousins are attending the fair.
They have to start at 3 o'clock at
night to catch No. s, and the next
night they can't sleep COR the noise
mot being used to it,, SO its no
wonder they get run over by street
cars, being so worn out.
Our old friend B. Burl1s is still
alive but every day gets weaker.
Poor man, he snffers SO much with
that dreadful disease consumption.
S. j. Jordan is better.
w. l.. Fitz will move this week
into the Morris property.
VIM. Stevenson will start for
Tennessee soon.
Our saw mills have all shut down
for want of orders, and are haul
ing hub timber. Thirty loads
came in Saturday. They think
they will start up again after the
election.
Politics are dead here; no one
comes around, and you never hear
a word said on either side. Bro.
Crowly says he never saw such a
time in his life.
Our town now has a marshal,
Tom Brawly, and he surely keeps
the boys off the trains, and keeps
everything quiet.
Walter Strother and wife have
made a compromise~with the rail-
road company. He can walk
around a little now. ISAAC.

AS our Vulcan correspondent
hasn't written any items from here
for some time, | thought that l
would give the readers a few of
the happenings from our little
place.
We are having some very chilly
weather, and Jack Frost is in our
settlement painting the woods.
There was no school here last
week on account of the death of
our teachers mother, Mrs. T. Nc
Cormick, who died Monday, Oc-
tober II, 1904.
VIM. Sherrell made a business
trip to Annapolis Friday.
w. A. HUFF was in Piedmont
Thursday.
Mrs. Elvira Buckner is visiting
relatives here.
Mrs. Parlle Shaver and children
spent Sunday in Des Arc.
Bud Ruble, of Des Arc, visited
his brother here Sunday.
Mrs. w. a. Huff left Saturday
morning for Fulton, where she will
take her little girl to the deaf and
dumb school.
Mrs. George Goodman went to
Leeper Saturday.
There was a box supper at SUIT
ton school house Friday night.
There was a man passed through
our town the other day who is
running for county judge on the
Independent (?) ticket. Now that
is bad enough; but to try to beat
Marion Lewis is worse than ever,
for we all know MI. Lewis, and
have for a long time, to be an
honest and straight man, and as
good a county judge as we have
ever had; and that is why we want
him again, and we don't want any
men on the Independent ticket for
our officers. We mean to vote for
all the Ironton boys, for they are
all true men and have made good
officers for our county, and we
mean to do all in Il power for
them for we are determined to
have them again. So, boys, if you
want good roads and good times
vote for the Ironton Democrats,
for they are all O. X. We mean
to elect them on November 9Th.
So you Republicans keep out Of
the way, for we are going to do
just what we say.

In the land OF Ironus. in days not of yore.
There dropped in amongst US a detestable
bore;
With but little persuasion he induced Mr..
Carly
That no5O was the time to go back on the
party.
Now this base deceiver, so cute and so slick,
Found a willing believer in poor 'sUncle
Dick"
Says he, "My dear uncle, there can be no
doubt
That the voters OF Iron counted you out"
The committee then sent him way down on
the creek,
To see one named Jim, they had heard he
was sick.
Now if your ambition is to be the Assessor,
Come over to US, you shall be the possessor.
The men that compose our mighty committee,
Are the best to be found in or out of the
city.
The t'Ticket,'' made up of all that is wise,
Like the "Book of Mormon" fell down

There's the great Louis Miller, the man

And Scoggin and Mullin the Iowa ''sharp,"
The sweet Charlie Byers, who was born
without sin (P)
And William the Gay, tie man they want in.
In the land of %Ironus, in the days that will
come,
When the Democrats line up at the sound
of the drum;
When the ballots are counted, the boilers
turned down,
| expect the ''reformer'' will again leave the
town. MossBACK.
