Why Don't They Move?

We still have one or two men in
in this community who stand
around on the street corners and
from morning until night com
plain about the town. their
neighbors. their taxes and the
weather. Such men are mighty
common clay and it is fortunate
we have so few of them. Such men
are Of no use to the town, their
families or their God. They seem
to live but no one can tell how.
Like mosquitoes and flies, they are
not fatal but disagreeable to have
about. 1t is not necessary to pub
Iish the names of the two or three
who infest this community for you

There are but few editors in our
state who have not made ii vigorous
and continuous fight against the
city mail order house. This has
been done in the interest of the
home merchant, and without money
and without price If the editors

advertising rates for all they have
said against the enemies of the
country merchant they could now
be wearing diamonds. Now the de

here n'dtl1sas much Cans money as they
could possibly get Of the remarks
which r overheard that at last they
had Nolan and Nelson just where they
wanted them; of a certain Goldfeld man
who had in his custody thousands Of
dollars to be placed on the colored man
at any old price. The significance OF
these things is now explained, but I
don't make any charges against Siler,
but know that Nelson did not foul
Cans. I don't care who says that he
did,
One OF Nelson's seconds stated that
Nelson was dizzy when he was called
for the forty-second round, and this
may have had something to do with the
fouliug OF Cans
JoeS Gsaa1s declares his belief that Nell
son fouled him Intentionally, knowing
that he had no chance to win The
negro says that he was comparatively
fresh when the foul blow was struck,
and was sure Of winning. Had he not
broken a bone in his right hand in the
twenty-seventh round he says he would
have finished the Dane before the thir-
ty-flfth round. Jimmy Britt says he IS
ready. to meet either Cans or Nelson.

the interest centered in the free for all
pace. First money in this event was
taken by Angus Pointer in straight
heats. Baron Grattan, driven by

err three horses in the race were out
classed. In the 2:30 trot, Brilliant Girl
had things her own way in the first
two heats, winning easily from Captain
Bacon, driven by her owner. DR.. Day
In the third heat the judges substituted
McHenry as driver for Captain Bacon
and he won easily. Brilliant Girl broke
just before the wire was reached and
finished sixth in that heat. Brilliant
Girl acted tired at the opening of the
final heat, probably due to the neces-
sity of starting nine times before the
word was given. The trot was easy for
