The Practical Joker.

See the practical joker He is not
much of a sight, but still he Is worth
looking at as a curiosity, as study In
uncommon cussedness. The practical
Joker is the offspring Of asininity run
TO seed He is what was left over after
the rest of the world was created
There was a slight surplus. a mere
fraction, not enough to make q com
plete man, so the scraps were scraped
up, pressed together and nodded into a
practical joker. The Job was not pat
ented. Nobody thinks enough of the
Invention to patent It. You couldn't
sell practical jokers FOR 8 cents bunch
If you should stand out on the corner
and spiel till your vocal cords got tied
into double bowknots. The public is
aware Of the she'll game when it sees
the layout The practical joker Is an
escaped idiot from the IdiotvilIe asy-
lum, but he IS by no means harmless
idiot. When recognized, he should be
ropeo forthwith and hauled back to his
native and natural environment. the

WatsOn's Magazine

The leading exdonent of Jeffersonian
Democracy, Edited by Hon. ThOs, 3.
Watson, of Georgia, the Father of RI !
Free delivery; author of "The Story OF
France" "Life of Napoleon, Life and
Times of Thomas Jefferson, "Bethany,"
and other books. Mr.. Watson was the
Peoples Party nominee for Vice-Preai-
dent in 1896, and for President in 1904.
He is to-day heading middle class
reform movement which is bound to
sweep the country in short time.
WATSON MAGAZINE is not Social
ist publication. 1t does not stand for
collective ownership of all the means of
production. Mr.. Watson believes in
public or government ownership of rail
roeds, telegraphs and telephones; in
municipal ownership of street railways,
gas, electric lights, water works, ETC.;
and he believes in private ownership of
all industries not natural monOpOlies.
The middle class-tae home owners,
farmers, small business men, and proper
ty owners-won Jeferson's victory in
1900; won JacksOn's victory over Nick
Bidder money power in 1882; won
Lincoln's victory in 1860. But each
time after the flush of victory had died
away, they became careless of their
rights and went to sleep. They have
slept a good portion of the time since
WATsON's MAGAZINE is waking

| will send in a little more news if you
will allow me space in your paper.
Well health of this community is very
good at this writing.
Well Mr. Editor ! have been talking
of your trouble to great many people
and they all say the Editor is in no
danger, III just say this for my part
if | have any part and | recon have
just as much right To talk as any one
else, the price asked or received by Mr.
Garrett and Mr. Richardson was out of
reason don't see how they could have
the heart to make such charge for their
trouble, people tell me that they WASH t
ont over 10 days work and now for my
self just say it's robbing the poor people.
Say Mr. Editor will you please publish
the names Of the Magistrates that voted
for Mr. Richardson and Mr. Garrett to
have this amount of $4,000 each, some
one told me it was in the Union but
am not able to take so many papers as |
am poor man and taxes so heavy to
pay just such bills as those parties above
mention charge for nothing, | want to
get their names so when the August
Election comes we all will know who
the yare and who TO vote for
for one can notsupport man that
would vote to give a man so much
money for nothing.

Well the school at Appletons closed
Friday June lst so the teachers could
prepare for the Institute June 18th.
There is another thing asked that j,
out Of reason and that is the price ask
ed by the County Supt, / am not in
favor of giving him 100000 | think
$50O,O would be good price, Less not
rob the county and give itall to just a
few men, mabe have said enough for
this time, so | will close.
Success to the Democrat and its many
readers.
NOTE--The Editor is overwhelmed
with the kindness of so many friends
who are expressing themselves so freely
in the way that "Sly Coon" does above
| suggest h Owever, that we be not toe
severe in criticiaing Messrs Garrett and
Richardson. Doubtless they have reas-
ons for their action, and will set then
selves right before the public, and if
they wish to do so through these col
umns they are invited to make use o
them. The people look at the matter
Ijustlike the correspondent does, and W,
think that these gentlemen really owe
it to their good name to give out som,
justification of their course. Let's moi
condemn anybody without giving then
a chance to be heard. That is what
ask for myself, and hope that shal
never fall so low as to deny it TO my
worst enemy. / have suffered too mucl
| from SANDERS slime and stench in m,
life to utter one word that woul,
wrongfully reflect on any mans chara,
