If Mr.. Bryan chooses to work
during his vacation and the peo-
pie choose to pay him for his
work, whose business is it be-
sides his? Mr.. Bryan's chautau-
qua contracts were made more
than a year ago, long before it
was known that Mr.. Wilson
would be President, and these
contracts were made subject to
cancellation at any time. If Mr..
Wilson, Mr.. Bryan and the peo-
pie are unanimous, land they
are), then the harping of a few
old-time enemies and sore-heads
amounts to but little.

Nearly every case of cholera which
has occurred here can be traced to in
temperance, imprudence or fright.
1t is thought Anderance West died
from nothing but fright, as he had no
symptoms of cholera. 1t is also believ-
ed by some that a number of other cas-
es were similar.
One old negro man, under our obser-
walton, took medicine from several per-
sons-enough, we thought, to have
killed dozen men, when a stranger
entered town and professed to cure the
terrible disease. Old "uncle Ned" was
placed in his charge, with an offer from
the citizens of $50 if he effected cure.
A few hours afterward Ned began to
revive, and all had hopes of his recov-
cry, but about the close of "a hours
poor ''uncle Ned" breathed his last.
Some parties have visited our town
in our time of trouble, with cholera
patents &C., but when they found
that most of the sick were objects of
charity they have sneaked off with fin
gers to the nose.
Many people have passed through
town in buggies, carriages, &C.. hold
ing their noses.
Many of the negroes who left town
last week were driven back.
Some of our people who have visited
neighboring town were invited to
leave, and made to accept the invita-
ton.
