The ladies of this ETAOINTAOIN
The young ladies of this community
met at the home Of Mrs. w. D. Thomas
last Saturday and organized literary 81
ciety, which will meet at their different
homes. They will give some public en-
| tertainments, we presume later on. AT

won't vote for our man for the United
States senate. Now, it would never do
to vote for a man for sheriff or clerk, or
some other office who doesn't agree on

You know these officers have great deal
to do with the election and conduct OF
the United States senator, and especially
