A Continued Conversation.

Congressman George w. Smith, who
has been representing the southern
most district of Illinois In Congress
ever since John r. Thomas got tired
OF the job, twenty years ago, was cam
paigning around Murphysboro one
time In a buggy. With him was a
driver. They came to a bridge over
the Big Muddy river. The sight OF
water naturally suggested fish. For
lack Of anything better TO say, Con.
gresham Smith said to the driver:
do you like fish,"
Yes" was the reply.
Nothing more was necessary and
Eothing more was said. However
when the next campaign came around
Congressman Smith went over the
same territory. at the same time OF
year, with the same driver. Again they
crossed the Big Muddy and again the
sight of water suggested fish.
"How?" asked Congressman Smith.
Fried" said the driver.-Judge.
