Archie Lewallen has been
suffering for two weeks with
some very peculiar disease OF the
eyes and face.
Lott Johnson, q, good citizen of
this township. died at his home
last Sunday of consumption. He
leaves wife and one child.
The past week has. been very
favorable for farm work, Crops
in the Corner are in excellent
condition except q Few isolated
patches at the back. Of the field.
One day last week we went
through the field where Dan
Lewallan was hoeing cotton and
told him. the Memphis daily
carried the news that Powell
Clayton died at Eureka Springs
the day before Of heart disease.
The old man believed it Of course
and we didn't tell him any better
tilA we were outof throwing die
tance either.
Not long age we got hold Of an
old mnsty volume, The Poetical
Works Of Robert Burns. The
history OF this Scottish poet reads
very much like that of our own
lamented' Poe. We love Poe
because Of his,life "long struggles
with obsourity and poverty; be-
cause, though sinful and weak,
he was not malicious or wicked.
Poe and. Burns breathed their
sadness into cong and melted the
tender to tears.
We expect to oppose both Of
the proposed amendments to the
state constitution, They are both
undemocrasic. Commercialism
and northern capitalists in their
greed for gain have plundered
the South for forty years. TO
give them' additional privileges
and let them go untaxed,. where
is the wisdom Of such a policy ?
There are not a dozen statesmen
in the world today advocating
the initiative and the referendum.
Thousands OF ''peanut states
men" are. 1t is a Populist policy
shouted from the hilltops of So.
oialism today. If you believe
'Bryaa, is god, you don't need
any understanding or this ques-
ton, Donaghey and Jeff Davis
stole il from Bryan and that
makes it democratic with some.
1t will pass, but five years time
will prove we are right.
