as lamp that burneth. Isaiah

We only have a short week to work
and then the final day comes. We
have gallant man before us to rally
TO, and noble cause to fight for
If we lose we have done our best If
we win we will rejoice together. Let
every man do his duty and we will
sing glad tidings throughout the old
Ninth that will echo back from the
sea.
Since the wife of my erstwhile
friend, G. q. Harris, has certified
that the Charles Mutter poem was
false, and Henry Jackson's wife has
certified that the story in regard to
her husband was false, l suppose the
poet is lurking in his tent till the
stigma of his shame is forgotten. But
while he is silent there are others
who continue TO scatter evil tales of
Stuart's treachery over the country.
Here area few of the latest: While
Jim Eklins, Of Raven, was on the
ridge "peddilng" few days since
he related a story TO his Republican
friends. They knew it was false, but
true to their spirit they passed it
along. Elkins said that Mr.. Stuart
furnished his men corn during the
summer time and required of them at
gathering time five bushels for every
one furnished 10y him.
Another story told by one horse
postmaster in Buchanan, says; "that
Mr.. Stuart, if elected, will impose a
tax upon chickens, geese, ducks, and
turkeys" Another one goes the
rounds like this: That one, John
Fields, who had TO flee from Mill
Greek, Russell county, for some
offense against the laws of his land,
and who now lives at Hanger, in
Buchanan county, was discharged
from Mr.. Stuart's farm because he
refused to pillow up a graveyard and
plant it in corn. The next one says
this, though the starter can't be To-
Gated That just prior to the last
registration day, Mr.. Stuart mailed a
letter and circular 10 the unregistered
Of hn rF,fh -fnf laft
that if they were unable to write and
would swear they would vote for him,
their wives could write their applica-
tions and sign their names.
These horrible lies are being circu-
lated among the ignorant and unlearn
ed citizens and part of them believe
the reports. But there can be no fruit
from such sowing.
The Coaldan correspondent in the
Republican last week, gave some inter
esting items but for fear his wife
would swear that it was false he fail
ed TO write his name. He says that
on Nov. 8, one hundred men will pass
down Big Greek and only four will
vote for Stuart. There were about
forty thousand of the children of Is
rael started up from Egypt and only
two reached the promised land.
He again says that there were not
enough Democrats at Richlands to
raise fuss" the day Stuart spoke.
There were enough to stop it tho
when Republican tried to raise it
for them. He says it was a crook
from Ohio. l don't know how crooked
he was but he knocked a crook into
the nose of the Republican disturber,
and saved some other man of a nasty
! job.
The Coaldan writer also says,
that George Christian says he had
more sense at weaving time than your
writer has now" How strange that
one could be SO smart in infancy and
so ignorant in manhood.
