l will write a very short letter tbi,
week as | am all tangled up in three
rellevy suits over some old plug hOrs.
es, hardly worth the cost of the prose
c%ution, but the suits are backed up on
a principle valued higher than money
or plug horses, and when such litiga-
tions as these do arise its hard indeed
TO find the end and such cases as above
mentioned have completely ditched me
all around this week,
All branches cf business up hers are
dull, standing still in an eddy.
Charlie COndra and Miss Willie
Phelps were married Sunday. His
marriage in his youth and going TO
housekeeping next day is a fair type
and display of some nerve and good
example, and is encouraging. The
young ladies and gentlemen of tho
town wishing to enter into the holy
bonds of matrimony will do well to
follow the example of young Mr.. Con-
dra. Look well ahead before you make
up your mind what you are going to
do and before you engage yourself and
let the principle apply in every avoea-
ton of life. A long look ahead before
you make your leap is we'll to consider
by all, so, Charlie, let me through the
columns of this paper extend TO you
and your wife many congratulations,
and l think, and many others, too,
that you have made a wonderful selec-
ton for your BOSOM companion. |
wish each of you a long and prosper
Gus life, filled with flowers and sun
shine, and may the hand of the Su-
preme Ruler be your guide and protec-
tor, and may you bon live happily to-
gether through life until a ripe old age
and when life's journeys are at an end
may you and your wife again join
hands in that land not made with
hands, but eternal in the skies, beyond
this vale of tears where we are known
never more to walk alone in the dawn
ing of the morning of the resurrection
is your humble servants congratula-
tions to you. These congratulations
perhaps may look a little lengthy but
you see this is a life time piece of
business, and when l get ove this
part of a young couples life, l won't
ever have to go over that field again,
unless l should happen to have to file
a bill of enforcement, and then you
know l would naturally have to side
step and come again and pass ove the
field of displeasure and dishO nor to all
complainants, whether plaintiff or de-
PENDANT.
There was a graveyard cleaning at
Sardis graveyard Saturday, May 10.
J. W. Morrison, of Whitwell, attended
the meeting.
DR.. N. B. Moore has a sprained an
kle and is using a stick to aid him to
walk.
The miners had a called meeting
the other day and it is said they met
to nominate Will Farmer for the
Board of Education, and Mr.. Barber is
reported as withdrawing from the race
and it seems that there is quite a lot
of dissatisfaction among the two fac
tions over who will really be the win
ner. The dark boss is yet to tlot out
Unless something more is accomplish
ed among the two contrasting parties
the dark horse will get the blue rib
bon pinned on him in the August
election. Green P. Layne is still on
the board as the democratic candidate.
You republicans surely don'twant to
spin a web and then get caught in
the wings and u a wreck that
would almost be equal to the Titanic.
Who for a moment would dispute
the fact that Col Roosevelt has two
thirds of the people of the nation at
his back, and any state or territory OF
the great union that will submit to the
will of the people and the matter to a
popular vote he will carry the same by
an overwhelming majority. Isn't this
the whole truth in a nutshell? So
much tlickery and work will. l fear,
if after the national convention,
bring about the defeat of the republi-
can nominee. This is how the outlook
to me is, | don't know how it appears
to others.
Joe Griffith is very sick at this writ
ing with fever. He is a cripple and
should have the proper care and treat
ment. Many a man in his condition
would have been in the county poor
house years ago, but l as one, appre-
ciate his endeavors to make an honest
although he is crippled. We
hope to see him out again at his old
trade, dealing in horses.
1t is reported that the child of Will
on the mountain, and the infant
of Jas. Quarles in town are dead, and
will be inferred this, Tuesday, after
The fishing business is pretty lively
up here, and a great many seem to be
employed in the business, and they
are at it day and night. Some gen
tile sinner dynamited the shoals last
night above town. l failed to learn
whether or not they made a water
haul, but if you are caught, boys, at
that act you will more than likely get
hauled down to Jasper and you will
have to pay the cost of transfer.
Old plug horse replevy SUITS are sub
in place of the old mountain
wild hog law suits, and the law bust
ness is going right on, and perhaps
grade of law suits will be on file
from now until acorns fall and then
look out for the wild hog suits. There
will be something doing along this
line. Representative.
