UNCLE TOMS LETTER


letters Yes, but what about fellows
that do rot? sob, they don't amount
to much, just skin them - Well, ev-
cry fellow likes for the other fellow
to get the SHINING, but if happened
to knock a few hairs off of them. Gee
wbiz how they would fuss. Rumor
has quite lot of stuff available that
could use, but law me, what a rack
ct it would stir mp To bear men talk
around on our streets You would think
not single man has tue least bit of a
chance for election who is in Office
now Well, the thing does look gloomy
sure enough, knowing that there is no
party organization behind a single
candidate and no one is pledged to
anything for and in behalf of the peo-
Pile This is one year that candidates
will have to declare what they stand
for. 1t will be an issue as our indie
pendant brothers will find out by June

Grumpy county has suffered because
she has neglected to do her duty, /
mean the democratic party She, two
years ago waged war on the social
democrats with a man that can not b Q
elected Hence the Offices are filled
with republicans The party is o.
X but she must select men friendly
to the working men or she'll never
win another battle for the county
offices. 1t has been very popular to
repudiate ones party when seeking a
county Office, but from what hear,
independautism will get set back be-
fore August The Socialist party ism t
dead by a jugful and as such will be a
factor. They will poll as many or
more votes than in the last county
election. Whether they will fuse I
am not able to say. but one thing is
certain, men who have opposed them
and the working men will not get
many votes from either, so Mr.. Ham

they were in the last election Cline

Jimmie Disheroon has been released
again from Jail, much to the chsgrin
of the jailor who seems to have form
cd quite an attachment for Jimmie,

Judge Ewin L. Davis stands at the
head of the list could name several
of his patients who have taken his
remedy and have announced them
selves cured, and the Rev. d. North
cut has had the honor of sealing one
cure by the baptism of the patient, of
which our whole town is proud The
Judge doesn't patch up cases. He just
cures them. think our magistrates
should quit their quack doctoring and
turn certain diseases over TO the Judge.
No use taking money for nothing, gen
tlemen. You ought to act on the rule
no cure. no pay. Don't aggravate
your wouldbe patients, l charge moth
