The Mighty Jeff has FALLEN

Lay the jest about old yarn socks
Meath the chestnut tree at last,
For a miracle has happened.
And the golden days are past.
That which made JEFF Davis famous
In the days that's past and gone,
Now no longer takes with Reuben,
Everything has gone dead wrong.
All the tales he used to tell 'em
Bout yarnsoX and home made soap,
Now is laid upon the mantel,
Uncle Josh is tired of dope.
Years and years he told tie stories
Bout his nineteen long-eared
hounds,
How he fed his family fatbacks,
Gussed the man that lived in town.
Cussed out everything in general,
Didn't like high-colared dudes;
Loved his turnip greens and salads
Anything please the rubes.
Wore ten penny nails for buttons
One suspender was enough,
Threadbare pants with frazzled edges.
Minus collars, drawers and cuffs.
When Bill HALEY meets Cy Watkins
At the village dry goods store,
To receive their annual package
Garden seeds that never grow;
Speeches made by one JEFF Davis.
Brushing cobwebs from the hall.
Says Cy Watkins to Bill HALEY.
'Jeff is he'll on talk that's all"
You no longer hear the shouting
OF the boys from up the creek,
When with glowing red bandanas
jeff would wipe his tear-stained
cheek,
AS he sobbed-with words pathetic
Told them of his wife at home
Making soap and planting gardens
II would melt a heart of stone.
Lay the jest about JEFF Davis
Meath the camphor balls at last,
For miracle has happened
And the golden days are past.
For the dope that was so famous
Dope that always caught the vote,
Now no longer goes with Reuben,
One Steve Brundidge has Jeff's goat

COUNTY CANDIDATES
SPOKE SATURDAY

The county candidates, about
twenty-five strong, invaded Poca-
hontas last Saturday and held forth
at the court house during the
greater part of the day. Quite a
crowd of people was in town that
day and the 'boys" had a crowded
house almost all the day. Every
thing passed off quietly. The
candidates we're in splendid humor
and took each others jlbes good
naturedly. There does not appear
to be much issue between any OF
them except in the Representative
and County Judges race. In the
former Rev. Doss, former Repre-
sentative and w. A. Jackson, the
present incumbent, are warming up
70 their work to some extent and
the probabilities are that this race
will not be such tame affair as 1t
now appears to be. Black Mccoy
Is pouring hot shot into both OF
them, as matter of course, but ut
does not appear to have any effect.
Lindsey's issue is the "Tee-Jay"
bill.
Most of the other candidates
merely announce their candidacy
and after little fun at the expense
of their opponents make way for
the others. A finer set of fellows
would be hard to find and we are
sorry they cannot all be elected.
