LEE SHAW "DETHRoNED."

The Preston Leader has lost. Its
soul 1t never had any mimi to speak
of, but the disgruntled spirit which
has been using n lot Of bad English TIC
Willy and abuse the regular and milf
tant Republicans of the Grand Old
County Of Preston has taken its flight
so far as the paper is concerned. Old
Lee Shaw has been oustei from the
editorial stool and the leader placed
IN the hands of receiver. In fact,
the paper, If it could be dignlfied by
that term, has never had any support
worthy of mention and old Shaw him
self flies into a rage on being forced
ont and abuses his associates about as
much as he does his enemies, Of whom
he has legion. He says he has worked
all this while for nothing and none OF
the fellows who went in with him
"bove ever turned hand" TO in any
way assist him. And they served him
right. He was not worthy of assist
ance. He ought to have died when his
work was done and then his memory
would have been blessed. He served
as a soldier and so far as We know
he was valiant one. All honor to
him for that record. He was elected
sheriff of his county and then be-
cause of personal hatred Of Hon. w,
NJ o. Dawson he deserted his party
and has spent the money made while
sheriff of the county in fighting the
people who made 1t possible for him to
have it. The old migrate is stencil
in the nostrils of decent Republicans
and the people of Preston county are
to be congratulated that he has been
"dothroned," as he calls it, although
"destooled" would be more appro-
pirate term in our opinion. Surely
the way of the kicker and chronic
growler is hard as Lee Shaw admits
in his valedictory.
