eHer lips are red,
Her eyes are blue,

Her peek-a-boo,

Doc Kanaly was unable to attend
the Baltimore Convention. Doc was

Audrain County, row In the banking
and real estate business at Jackson
Vile, Florida, sends us a beautiful cup
and an order for 10000 gallons OF Cot
tonwood Springs water, for which we
thank him very much. We always
thought that Col. Nelson was Just a
little bit shy OF water, but II he has
had a "change Of heart all is well.
The water has been shipped to Col
Nelson's address. Martha sends
his regards to all bis Mexico friends
1t is to be hoped that our friend,
Col. Bob White, will not commence to
take his months vacation or make
his plunge In tie ocean of Long
Island until after the battle Of the
ballots / n this county on August 9th.
Col. White is too good a soldier to
sly the COOP when he is needed.
Walter Peck's big sherlfTistic steam
rollers are said to be in splendid shape
and doing excellent work and his fine
Italian ROSTERS are loudly growing

county on August 9th
The political pot is busily bubbling

good aud true men, none better. The
Ledger Owl wishes be could vote for
the whole bunch. Pick your fayorite

going at a gait that is fast and furi-
GUS May the best man win. Tote
fair aud look pleasant and may the
good Lord be with you and bless you.
Who is this man William Jennings
Bryan? Is he the man who worked
his rabbits FOOT on our Uncle Champ
Clark at the Baltimore Convention ?
II he is the same Bryan that we have
thrice voted for President, we will
state right here that never again will
the Cotton wood Springs Democratic
Club cast their ballots for him for auy
old Office. He's too darn fresh"
