had hundreds more Of men just like
the outlaws Pauls, Hollems, Brazeltoo
and billiard, gee wouldn't this be
great county if We had, there wonld be
one word that Old Webster mig BIT just
as we'll have left out of his book, and
that word is G RAFT
Ihave known and done business with
all Of these men. and want to go on Re,

low men.
Ar Brazelton is a'mau Of his word at
all times.
MI Pauls is man OF strong character
and his word is as good as gold.
MI Hollems Is OF the same caiiber
and has made the best roads ever
travelled and the safest bridges l have
ever seen in Elbert County.
Mr. Hilliard has a reputation that j
think will stand the test. and you will
tind that it will take more than a TIoss
editor and Jay news paper to knock
him off his pins. 1t is grand thing to
be boss Of the Democratic party. We
know the old saying, III you caL't be
the bell COW, fall in behind, fall in Mr.
Editor.
Archie. they left you out OF tho last,
article, maybe you will be the hero next

taxa his place, but don't fear we have a
man here in Elbert, il he were free, can
do all the work. and have every after
noon to pitch horseshoe with old Bill
Good. or course it's nice to have a dep
uty, and draw 800 every month, give
the poor little deputy $50 and put the
rest in your ieane, but the jig is up, you
can retain him through the rush, then
its Tommy come through the weeds.
The tax payer will have to read both
sides of that story, pro and con, before
he can understand what it is all about
and Ill bet that when he comes to the
place where it says @The End" he will
streighten up in the old chair aLd

to bulge, scratch his old head and ssay
l give it up.

shell. / wonder what kind of a shell he
means? he'll have to go easy on this
nut shell business, as it would be ard
matter to convince the farmers
that there is anything in nut shell,
old uncle Josh thought that he had it
in nut shell once, and after he laid
down his five spot, he discovered th IRE
was nothing in it, SO you will have to
dish it up under different heading II
you want it to go down without chaser.
Our commissioner from the east ED
draws his salary and gets plenty of good
exercise and from past performances
should be tickled to death that he is
living.
My Friend has left the sheriff ont Of
his story thus far, / wonder whyf
His story is good one though, why
not give it a permanent heading AID

the stage entrence, by a small messen-
ger boy that some one in the audience
has discovered the plot, il such is the
case please leave it at the box Office on
your way out, we would like to see it,"
so keep look out and il any one in Ell
