Cliff Williams.

Cliff Williams of Meridian Miss,
has come and is gone with his two
cars of demonstrating machinery.
Now Williams is native Mississ-
ippian and is the strongest and
most effective advertiser in these
United States.
Now just think of this jamb up to-
date method actually come to your
town, unload two cars of machinery
without aid of OK or mule and saw
lumber the day he arrives. Not only
saw lumber, but produce the sweet
est of music with his steam piano.
Williams is evidently believer in
that which we see we must believe
and appreciate and remember Will
liams trip pleased the people, the
machinery was interesting and the
music pleasing. Everybody enjoyed
it. Williams has just succeeded in
in closely coupli G his name with
machinery. Williams advertising
matter is all out of the ordinary, for
instance, Thomas doubted Christ,
and had to feel Of the wound now we
are coming that you may feel and
see. He has picture of an OK and
under it says IF YOU haul logs with
this bully, you win surely cuss and
if you cuss, the devil will got you
and you will suffer from excessive
heat and keep cool by hauling logs
with traction engines.
Leakesville and Smith, Mississippi,
will never forget Williams and we
hope that his exhibit will visit us a.
gain.

MONDAY A BUSY DAY

Monday was quite a busy
day at Leakesville. Visitors
were numerous upon the
Courthouse Square.
The occasion of the enli>
vened attendance was the
Tax-Sale of Lands, as well as
the auctioneering off of three
good pieces of property by
Commissioners Sale. Then
the Board of Supervisors were
holding their regular month
ly session,
Sheriff Breland stood on
the Courthouse steps and
cried Justify and long with
his offerings of lands by small
and then greater assembling
Of subdivisions. The bidding
was snappy and aggressive.
The Tax-Sale could not be
completed within legal hours
on Monday and was contin-
ued and concluded on Tues
day. There was a sprink-
ling of people from nearly
every section of the county
present, some merry joking
bystanders, others interested
and competitive bidders. But
little business was had with
the County Lawmakers, this
seeming to be a Term when
business was dull in their
sphere.

If Tolland county is represented on
the republican state ticket, it is gen.
orally believed that Representative
Freeman F. Patten of Stafford would
be more acceptable TO the rank and
file of the republican party than any
other man who could be mentioned.
In fact, it has been whispered in the
inner circles of the party that Repre-
sentative Patten has already been
sounded in reference TO accepting the
republican nomination for state treas
urer. During the session of the leg
islature Representative Patten made
hosts of friends and won the confidence
of some of the best known republicans
of the state. If Tolland county is to
be honored with a place on the state
ticket, it is generally believed that
Representative Patten would be the
choice of the republicans of the coun-
ty and the choice of the republican
leaders as we'll. 1t is not known,
however, whether Representative Pat
ten desires to go on the state ticket.
He hasn't given any indications to
that effect as yet. Some of his closest
friends in Stafford would like to see
him go back to the house. One thing
is certain, Representative Patten is
not the kind of man to seek any
nomination. If the republican party
insists that he allow his name to be
uesd in connection with the state
treasurership, it isn't likely that he
would refuse. His name would add
strength to the republican ticket all
through Tolland county.
Nothing has been heard of late as
to who will be the republican nomi-
nee for senator in the thirty fifth dis
trict, which includes Holland county.
A few months ago it was the general
opinion that Representative Mayro
Keeney of Somers would be the choice
of the republicans of the district.
Some of Representative Keeney's
friends, however, seem to think that
he will not run for senator this fall.
One thing is certain, If he decides to
go into the contest, he will have
strong backing and will be likely to
win out. Representative Keeney is
not disclosing his intentions even to
his closest personal and political
friends. He is playing a waiting
game. His numerous friends through
out the county, however, will not tie
up to any other candidate until they
receive information from him that he
does not desire the nomination.
1t has been rumored in Tolland
county political circles that Repre-
sentative Higgins of Coventry might
enter the contest for senator under
certain conditions. His name has
been quite prominently mentioned in
with the nomination.
Representative Higgins has a liking
for political life, and it isn't likely
that he will remain in the background
in Tolland county politics. If he
doesn't seek the nomination for sena-
tor, it is reported that he may go
back to the house from Coventry.
Among others whose names have
been mentioned in connection with
the republican nomination for senator
are Representative Patten of Stafford
and x-Representative Loomis of Rock
Vile. Neither one of these gentle
men has signified that he would ac-
cept a nomination. 1t is six months
to the republican senatorial conven-
ton, and there is ample time for
much to happen between now and
then. Rockville Leader.
