.S1ecia! To tie NesOs.
We had wedding up here Sunday.
1t was viii Holloway to Miss Lou
White, the daughter of g. w. White.
It was a runaway.
R. F. White returned today from
Dunlap where he took his wife to have
DIR. Smith wait on her for blood pois-
on. She was past walking when she
was carried up there, but he now re-
ports that she is up and can walk
around the house. We were glad to
note the Improvement and hope she
will be able to return home soon.
DR.. L. L. Janaway was out here
this week waiting on the sick.
Ye writer is now ready to lay by his
crop while others are just now plant
ing. Hope they will get ready any
way by July list to make crop.
Corn crops here on up lands look
fine. Farmers are now cutting their
wheat. just about half a crop is an
average in this locality.
We were sorry indeed to hear that
our nominee for sheriff, Jas. Doss,
has been suffering from nervous pros
tration and that reports are current
he will tender his resignation to the
chairman of the republican party and
not make the race for sheriff.
R. F. NJ. Kirkpatrick, republican
nominee for trustee, and Scott Tate,
candidate for circuit court clerk, were
both here this week in behalf OF their
candidacy. Both these gentlemen will
he elected by a safe majority for L
nrofess to be prophet in politics
had the pleasure today of meeting
nv old time friends, Drs. Shirley and
Moore at the mouth of Griffith S
Creek. It was very bad day. but
thew had their gum coats on, fishing
right on just same. DR.. Moore walk
ed awav with an 8-lb catfish. The Dr.
is a noted character with wide repu-
tation as No. I. fisherman, but SAID
his reputation on the state wide ques-
tion wasn't so we'll known as his fish
ing reputation. Mr.. Shirley and Dr.
Moore are both fluent takers when you
tonch the subject of politics. we
made three cracking speeches right on
the banks of Griffiths Creek. They
represented the democratic party and
the two wings of the republican par
tv. but after q close examination as
repres 9ntative of the republican party,
am sorry that this so called state
wide question was ever framed or per-
mitted to enter into politics, for it has
now played the devil and split the re-
publicn party wide open as a bootJack
The democratic party was already
wide open and it is now about to be
found in local politics. Sleep with
one eye open and the other on Patter-
son, and you will find out what road
to get your ticket on.
Dr. N. B. Moore has let w. ID.
White have his canning outfit and he
will can up his and his neighbor' S
fruit here this year.
Henry Grayson, son of John W.
Grayson, from near South Pittsburg,
stayed week with w. III. White and
was under the medical treatment of
DR. P. G. Grayson at this place for
chronic rheumatism and indigestion.
We have 2-legged red fox in our
community which has big bed full OF
young ones, and grey one which
makes his den head quarters. The
red fox and his brood can catch and
pack off more fowls than all the rest OF
the varments of our county and they
catch them both day and night. Look
out for the scalps of all these foxes
next term of circuit court. If we
can't pay poll tax with their scalps,
we can add to the state and county
school funds just little.
Representative.
