Random Thoughts

What's the matter with the local lodge
organizations2 There hasn't been a
lodge social or card party in a long time.
Now is good time for something Of this
kind. 1t would awaken more interest
in the lodges, and the l. o. o. F., w. O.W.
and Red Men organizations all need
waking up. The Rebekah lodge is the
only live secret society in Elbert. Wake
up, brothers, and start the ball to rolling.
Last week man stepped up to us and
said he would pay us every cent he owed
US il he lived till Saturday night. We
presume the man died. Another man
said he would pay us in day or two
as sure as we were born. Query: Did
the man lie or were we never bornY An
other said he would settle with us as
sure as shooting. We presume that
shooting is very uncertain. Another
man said he hoped to go to the devil il
he did not pay us within three days.
Haven't seen him since; suppose that he
is gone, but trust he did not hope in
vain. Quite number said they would
see us tomorrow. They must have been
stricken blind or tomorrow has not come.
One man told us year ago he would
pay as soon as he got the money. The
man would not lie, of course he has not
got cent since.
The next legislature should be asked
to close the dove season all the year
round. The one principal reason is that
the dove is harmless bird which does
great good by the destruction Of insects.
1t does not raid any Of the fields OF grow
ing crops, as its grain food consists
largely of the sunf1ower and Russian
thistle seeds. 1t is not game bird, for
it may be shot on the ground or on fences
and until alarmed by being shot at sew
eral times, betrays little fear Of the
presence Of man. Many of those who
delight in going after the birds OF flight
like ducks and geese, hold that the dove
should not be disturbed at any time, as
it furnishes the poorest kind of sport.
Our moderns are less civilized than the
savages in this respect, for the Indians
looked upon the dove as sacred and
never shot it-Field and farm.
An irate citizen says that hereafter he

paper containing only accounts of the

In regard to Mr.. /. f. Cooper,
will say that l have spent several
hundred dollars of the Contingent
Fund allowed me by the legis-
lature, in an effort to inform my
self and other members of the
State Board Of Pardons, as fully as
it is possible to do. Although 1
believed that there was a serious
doubt about the guilt Of Mr..
Cooper, the information gathered
Jy the detectives tends very great
ly to dissipate all of the doubt
that possessed the State Board of
PardOns. Every clue, when run
down, involves Mr.. Cooper, So
there appears to be no doubt but
that Mr.. Cooper was the one most
responsible for the murder Of Mr..
Bowman. / will say, in closing,
that I have done everything in my
power to satisfy myself as to who
was the real guilty party, and ]
have therefore issued the new
death warrant, Of which you have
heard. The State Board Of
Pardons has been very much con
cerned about this matter, and il
has received careful consideration. "
