An Orderly Services.
From the National Monthly.

A Methodist parson, called to preach
at an out-of-the-wa town in Cali
fornia, was informed, before entering
the pulpit, that he must be careful.
as many Of the assembled congrega-
ton were "roughs," and would not hest
tate to pull him from the pulpit II his
remarks did not suit them.
The minister made no reply, but
having reached the sacred desk, he
took from his pocket two revolvers,
and placing n on each side of the
bible, gave a sharp glance around the
room, and said: Let US pray"
A more orderly service vas never
held.

PLEA FOR ROLLlN HURT.

Editor News
While l do not believe it good
policy for one not a candidate to
take a too active part in the
races for party nominations, it
seems to me from observation
that many people do not exactly
understand the situation in the
coming Democratic primary, or
realize the Importance of going
to the polls on the day of the
election and casting their vote
for the man of their choice, and
so l have felt it the duty of some
one to speak, and thus will with
your permission give your read
ers a reason for the faith that is
in me.
In the first place | believe it
to be the duty of every Democrat
in Adair county, and the entire
Southern part of the district so
far as that is concerned, to go to
the polls and vote for Rollin
Hurt. Not because we think he
is better man than Judge Hob
son, or more loyal Democrat,
but because we do not believe in
giving man a life lease on an
office when there are many others
who can fill the place just as well
as he can, and We all know that
Mr.. Hurt is just as true and 10y
al a Democrat as is Judge Hob
son, and we believe that he will
make just as good a Judge as
Hobson has made. Judge Hob
son has now held the office fol-
sixteen years, a period of time il
seems to me, that should amply
satisfy any man, and | am sure
that Mr.. Hurt would be glad anC
willing to turn the office over tt
any other good Democrat aftel
holding it for sixteen years
And l feel that the Democrat
all over the district should vot'
for Mr.. Hurt because this section
is clearly entitled to furnish thu
candidate. We have just as gOo(
lawyers as can be found in thu
State; they will make just al
good jurists as has ever beer

The plea for Mr.. Hurt pub
lished in the News to-day should
be read by every Democrat who
is interested in his race. The
idea of the writer is to arouse
the Democrats to action, and ev-
cry man who is espousing Mr..
Hurts cause should be at the
polls the first Saturday in. Au-
gust. A primary is unlike a con-
vention. A candidate is nom.
mated by the majority of votes
cast, hence it is of the utmost
importance for every supporter
of Adair's candidate to be at the
polls.
