Mr.. J. F. Collins, of Mi1port Route
No. ?, took care of us last Thursday
night. for which we express our sin
cere thanks. Since Mrs Warwick"
left us for Cordova and Pinson, We
don't stay much more than twenty
four hours at the same place We
have not had but two letters from
Mrs. Warwick since she left to see
her two married daughters, Mrs. Rev
| z. NJ Harris. of Crawford, and Mrs.
i Dr A. c. Pennington, of Pinson, and
We confess that some times We think
that the old(?) lady loves her mar
ried daughters better than she does
their papa, and then again we think
that this may possibly be creature
OF our own imagination, and thus We
try to be contented.

In mentioning probable candidates
for circuit clerk of Lamar county in
our last letter, we inadvertently fail
ed to mention the name of our friend,
Mr.. Willie C. Evans, of Sul1igent,
who has many friends in Lamar coun-
ty and whose name has been fre-
quently mentioned in connection with
the next race for circuit clerk of La
mar county, it being generally under
stood throughout the county that our
present very efficient circuit clerk,
Mr.. r. E. Bradley, who has been so
ably filling this office for the past
twenty or more years, will not stand
for reelection. Willie is the eldest
son of our county commissioner, Mr..
B. W. Evans, of Sulligent, with whom
your correspondent used to scratch in
self defense when we were boys in
school together. Willies papa's fin
ger nails were as, we thought them,
great deal longer and sharper than
ours, and we were then under the
preston some now OF OLU6I ludL .
1e (the now commissioner could
pinch harder than we, but that is now ,
| thing of the past, and we are COM
handed to forget the things of the .
1ast, ETC., and so now we love both
Willie and his papa, regardless of ,
ength and sharpness of finger nails;
md if Willie decides to enter the race
or circuit clerk we shall expect him
o do unto US as we did unto him
when we were seeking votes-go to :
ZEE him and tell him how bad we ,
want it-for that is the way the thing /,
s done, especially in Lamar county, ;
S has been verified by US many times :
