they are interesting il not conclu-
sive The speech made over 90 col
umns or about three solid pages in
any newspaper, and none Of tn. pap

There was some talk on the streets
yesterday that John T. Long of the
northwestern part of the county
would come out for supervisor, b.it he
stated that he has not yet been able
to see his way clear to do so, althogh

Long has most beautiful home, the
former residence Of the late d. X

private interests to look after, and
this is what is holding him back.

make capable and earnest repre-
sentative when he gets there.

the race for county commissioner
from that section and R. Ware Austin
OF Belton for auditor.

Anderson, Coloney Mulally's Town!
A-h what theme for poets pen!
Nothing could dearer be-
D-earer to hearts OF stalwart nient
Even than Arcade
R--edolent with the fragrance Of
home.
Sweet With the thoughts of My Very
Own!
Oh, BIG little word Is Mis-ally
Near and Gear does it truly imply!
If vigor and, valor and vim and
verve. :f
Should be wanted in plenteous store
Ny town OF Anderson surely could

Y-e whole fair state to supply and
The beauty Of women cline
Oh nature hath made uor city a
Queen,
Who proudly sits on hill and valley
Nor fails to win all as she has Null
