ard, was here Tuesday and said
we must have made a mistake in
saying there is plenty of fruit in
the western part Of. the county.
We think he must have made the
mistake of moving into a Demo-

the Republican sections only!

Uncle Ben Colder Tuesday show
ed a copy of the Marshall Banner
a Republican paper published here
in 1859 by Chas. Maynard. 1t was
a very creditable sheet and liber-

great deal of it's support from the
court house.
A man from Shackelford told us
some of his troubles Saturday.
Being unable to secure help in. the
community he sent to Benton coun

and the best one was offered more
by a neighbor and he accepted
leaving his employer still without
aid! ~.
