He has saved us before-two times-and when he cums to bat, we can hang our her ritage out on the clothes line ovver nite and sleep peacefully till milking time, with per feet assurance that it will be there next morning.
 Twice in the history of our beuvved Communwealth-when the unscrupulus railrode Barruns weer about to consummate deep laid plot to make us all seerfs and vassals-and no self respecting freeman wants to go into the seerf and vasse bizness until he gets marryed, and then not to the railrode trusts, twice has a hitherto perfect ly plain and unpretensious citizen citi- zen in whose buzum there beets hart the size of a Big Ben clock evyery tick. q tick for the plain PeeppI, rose up and wint aftur the railrode Barrrns aforesed in an abrupt and fluent manner.

ambision is for that offise. On the uther hand, Captain Hobsun and Senater Johnson and what s -his-name yes, Abbycromby thinks that the Guvvernor would do bet ter in his old job where he maid his repn- tasion and there you air. The Peepul don give hoot, what they want IS a chanse to vote for him.
 When the Guvvernor forgot the main is- sue and let anuther matter slip up on his blind side and get his tag-the Railrode Barrnns aforesed turned loose q big laff, and after the Guvvernor had been downed and his classicl polytical lectures rubbed in the mire of bitter defect they took sect on his remains with the view of keeping him plum out of site for all times to cum. But 1t is hard matter to stay sot on live wire. Guvvernor Conner resents being sot on. Rail- rode Barruns air us rule, hard and husky persuns but even hard and hnsly person can t be expected to set comfortabully on a menaggery of cattymounts that won't stay still and who insists on evyery now and then turning loose an awful holler, and calling the attenson of everybody to who is doing the sitting. Guvvernor Conner kept on sticking his he'd up, without the slitest consideration of the fact that he was sup posed to be berried plum out of site ln polyt- ical oblivion, and submitting a few map propryate remarks about rates and disre- gard of the Peepul's wishes in a rude and offensive manner that has kept his enemies so confused and mudded that they could not keep there minds on there bizness, and the result is that the Guvvernor has 'cum back. ?
 The Guvvernor ought to be verry proud of his enemies. They have dun moor to pay his transportation frum polytical oblivion and points south, back into the limelite than his trends could have dun in a sentury. And rite now there is no shadow of doubt but what Guvvernor Conner is the feeding lady in Alabama polytieks, and whichever ring he chooses to throw his hat in is going to be about the warmest ring in the publick eye, after sed cast is maid.
 There are menny peepnl in the state that two yeers ago reeIy thought that Guvvernor Conner was the states biggest liability, who now consider him one of her gratest assets, all of which goes to prove that you can newer always sumtimes tell what is going to happen in the polytical game-it is as url- sertain as the verdict of petty jury-a and then sum.
 Ennyhow-if we have to be saved-the Guvvernor is classy little saver, and you we got to hand it to him. Otherwise he'll cum and take it, so what's the usel Yours trooly, BILL VINES.

 sx. four or five yeers the Peepul of the NsgD State of Alabama work themselves round to the point where they have to be saved again It's not the Peepul's fault so much that they get all mussed up and bring themselves and there posterity rite up to the brink of ruin, for they air bizzy making a livving- of them that do make one and those of them that don't air equally bizzy trying to make folks beleeve they do. So Ruin simply slips up on them while they ain t looking. Whenever ruin gets this advantage on the helpless and boneheaded Boni Publico-at least, 1t has been so in the past, and will likely be so in the future sum champion of the Peepul, much against his natural inclinasion and own persunal in terest, and always at grate sacrifice, will rise up, and smite sed ruin hip and thigh, or enny uther old phase that's convenient, and rescue the deer Peepul once moor.
 The Peepul have certainly been lucky in getting rescued in the past. If it hadn't been for sertain grate Statesmen in Ala bama liberty would have been crushed into the eerth newer to rise again, as it is liberty has on menny occasions tottered on its thrown, and it now appeers that liberty is again assailed and is going to totter few more tots, and no one knows for sertain what about, or frum where the danger cums
 That's the grate truble, the Peepul air always getting in bad, and they just rock along totally oblivvious of it, and newer seem to grab, until sum perspirring states man blows in and tells them of it. It's a fine thing that the commun Pecpul seem to have gardian angel that always brings forward Moses in the nick of time to stand between them and the plewtocratts who would rob them of there heritage Thanks to this fact, the Peepul, up to this riting still have there heritage intact, al though they have had several narrer es- capes. It does look like they would Tern sumthing aftur while and keep there her. ritages locked up, for sure thing if they evver lost them they would have nuthing to live for How the dickens would plain citizen look on cold December day, tray yelling round the country without his herri- tage? He would get into the clutches of the polise and would have no defense, besides that he d be liabull to take nelmonia.
 Of corse, when it cums rite down to the point where the Peepul must be saved, there is nuthing like having good reliabull saver on tap. A true and tryed, honest to goodness, saver is powerful good thing to keep round the house. And now in our hour
