Brundidge has done much for the neo-
pie of Batesville and Independence
county, as we have already pointed
out, and was deservedly popular here.
Many of our people felt that Mr.. Old
field, a young man, could wait two
years longer, and then, too, the gen.
eral political alignment of that cam
paign is happily no longer controll-
ing factor in our politics. Mr.. Old
field took his defeat in such a manly
and dignified manner, and has so
creditably conducted himself since,
that many who were then most strong
ly against him are now numbered
among his staunchest supportes. In
dependence county stands with him in
this race and will give him a large
majority on election day.
Having come from an humble STA
ton in life, he knows and sympathizes
with the great body of citizenship. He
is close to the people; he stands for
and advocates most heartily all meas
ures looking to the correction of the
many abuses which have been too long
practiced upon the farmer and labor
ing class. In the prime and vigor of
his manhood, with boundless energy
and good personal habits, he is well
qualified by experience and disposition
to make the people faithful repre-
sentative in the lower house of con-
gress.
| Judging from the reports that have
reached the Guard through other pa
pers of the district we are led to be-
lieve that his prospects of success are
very fattering, indeed. In fact, many
of the papers say there is no real
serious opposition to him in their part
of the district. 1t should be, as it is
a matter of pride that independence
county will, in all probability, furnish
a successor to Mr.. Brundidge, and we
confidently predict Chat Mr.. Oldfele
will prove himself entirely worthy O
every confidence and trust his peopl,
may place in his hands.

but firmly refused to selN him any. He
was also refused the hire of a horse
and buggy on another occasion, and,
in fact, he could>get no accommoda-
ton whatever, and seeing there was
no chance to do any business there,
the house was closed and the liquor
removed to another place.
The people of Paroquet are to be
commended on the practical manner
in which they banished this undesir-
able business from their community.
This is one very important point
which many people who are lighting

If there was no demand for liquor

LIQUOR HOUSE CLOSED

The so-called wholesale liquor house
which was opened at Paroquet some
time ago has been closed for the lack
of patronage. The people at Paro-
quet did not want the business opened
there, so when it was opened the word
was quietly passed around that the
best way to get rid of it was TO not
patronize it. The house was kept open
q. month and not an order was filled
during the entire time. The man in
charge of the business was never
treated unkindly by any of the citizens,
but he could get no accommodation Or
favors shown him. On one accession
