Joseph Burtch was over at.
your place the other day, and re-
ports a good time. We rather
expected him to bring home a
wife, but it seems his time was
spent only in visiting.
Our churches are looking after
the welfare of sinners now. The
Evangelical church has gathered
in fourteen in one weeks meet
ing. The Campbellites are still
holding forth in their tent. So
far they have gathered in about
thirty. 1t is rather damp for
the meetings now, but the people
still attend.
November 2 was the last day
to pay the subsidy tax for the
C. B. & C. R. R. Our tax was
quite high for a 39c railroad,
or our dinkey line to Bluffton.
There is little said about poll
tics here, only some of the Dem
ocrats are gum shoeing around
to get in office in the next cleo
ton, as the politics of the party
does not amount to a hill of beans.
They have no platform, only want
in Office. Bryan is not making
good, as some would have us be-
lieve. Our present Congressman,
]. A. M. Adair, will soon be
weighed in the balance and he
will hardly try to ring off some
of his set speeches he has been
delivering over the country at
pioneer meetings. Oh, how he
loves the soldier CD and in his
canvass he often said he would
assist the Administration as far
as he thought was right. Did
ever a Democrat think rights, g...,:, # 4.
they did, why not do the thing
best for the people?
Halloween passed off quietly,
only one boy getting injured
while trying to upset an outbuild-
ing. The building slipped a notch
and came back, caught his leg
and broke it below the knee.
There was no mischief done in
| town as in other years.
Roosevelt's trip to the cane
breaks of Louisiana was a grand
affair. Just think of the fat pos
sums, sweeNpotatoes and BEARS
liver cooked to a turn. No won
der he could make such a grand
speech at the tomb of "Old Hick-
ory." No wonder he felt good
and in a humorous vein after.
eating good square meals in the
canebreaks. We read his NASH
vile speech and how he did carry
the old Confederate soldiers with
him. They gave him the rebel
yell. If he had heard it in the
Cos it would have sounded differ
ent, we often heard the yell on
road from Nashville to Savan-
nah. One thing in the south
pleases me very much and that
| is the way they are voting out
the saloons. Even Kentucky is
after them heavy! What will
become of the old mint julips2
It will hurt some of the old Col
onels, and Majahs to go without
their mint julip. Doubtless,
there will be an exodus to the
Hoosier state and to Illinois, and
if those old Colonels get good
swig of Peoria whiskey it will
soon lay them out. There is q
difference between the mountain
dew of the south and the fire wa
ter of the northern stills. We
have tried both, a few times IN
our lives.
Last Monday was voucher day
in Indiana. The ranks are thin
ming out. Those old comrades
will hear the rebel yell no more,
nor will they answer present at
roll-call in our reunions many
years more. We loved them as
brothers. Comrades, help the
tottering ones, perhaps they have
answered present the last time.
