We published last week the full

es in this city. Last Thursday morn
ing opened with cloudy skies and
threatening weather but the day
proved without rain and very large
audience was present to listen to the
program and to pay due respect to
the G.. A. R. veterans.
The procession formed soon after
$3.50 at G.. A. R. hall and marched
down Main street to the Park Col.
A. W. Wright was chief marshal.
Tichy's band and Snyder's Drum
Corps furnished the music. Com
pany G. turned out in full number to
act as escort for Mcintyre Post. The
W. R. Corps and the Flower Brigade
composed of an equal number of
boys and of girls we're important
features. Every body admired and
praised the splendid part taken in
the prade by the pupils of the S. NJ.
Normal college. A large company
of young men carried an immense
flag holding it by the edge as they
marched. About rs college girls
dressed in white marched in the
form of the letters G.. A. R. The
fire department, city council, the
clergy of the city and many others
joined in the procession. The la
dies of the G "A. R. were out in good
numbers.
At the platform near the pavilion
in the park, Mayor Sutton had
charge. The large audience listen
edi attentively to the exercises. a
double quartette sang consisting OF
F. E. Gleason, J. H. Anderson, DR..

vet has so long been in it's CON-
bine that he could hardly be pick
ed as a leader for the insurgents.
Had he helped unload the ma
chine at the jamestown conven-
ton. he would have been at this
time An irresistible candidate as
a successor to Hansbrough.
NJ. N. johnson cannot invoke
the old time enthusiasm for him
self. Johnson is forever blasting
his future political prospects by
being a perpetual candidate, and
at this time surely not peoples
candidate. If he were wise he
would "tarry awhile at Jericho"
and wait until the people were
ready to take him up, which they
are not at this time.
Little, McKenzie's man, will
have strong backing from the
slope country, yet it will not be
unanimous by any means. He
will have strong backing at home
as he is an affable and clever pol
itician. Mckenzie has been
clever again in picking out Little
as soon as he determined to drop
Hansbrough. Mac is a great gen.
eral in political fight, but his
tactics are being made public and
he is not as formidable a factor
as heretofore.
1t would be we'll if the press Of
the state that dares exercise in
dependence would speak out, and
let the public speak through its
columns. Public sentiment-the
real public sentiment is what is
wanted, so that the people may
be served in the choice of sena-
tor. The Searchlight takes the
liberty to "speak its piece" and
would be very glad to hear from
the other "fellers" who are edit
ing papers.

REAL SNAKE EATER
Eats EN- Alive on Kelly Ave. Sunday
Much to Devastation of Crowd

A real live "Bosco, the Snake
Eater" was in town Sunday af-
ternoon. At least he represent
ed himself as being able to di-
gest the Shiny reptiles, and no
one who saw him doubted his
ability to do 50. He appeared
on Kelly avenue about the sup
per hour with a large snake coil
ed around his neck He soon
had large crowd curiously
watching him, a crowd which
would make the Salvation Army
glad at heart. At intervals he
would withdraw the snake, car
ess it lovingly and declare to
the gaping populace that he was
not afraid to masticate it.
Soon he tired of this SEEM
ingly tame sport, and taking the
reptile by the tail, whirled it
around his head and threw it in
to the crowd. Several persons
were made the recipients of the
snakes unwelcome presence,
which "Bosco" seemed to enjoy
hugely. Seeing that he was scar
