THE REASON.

j.. One or two of our Jealous friends have asked us
why we did not oppose in the columns of the paper Floyd
Arnett for Commonwealth's Attorney.
The reason is simple. We have made ceasess fight
for law enforcement and have watched the efforts of Mr.
Arnet and we have never discovered anything to
vince us that he was not doing his best to enorc ehe law
We know of the lack of cooperation the horoughness Of
the organization of the booeggers and know how hard
is to produce the evidence and to secure convictions
AS newspaper we have taken no sides in the races be-
tween the Democratic asprants for office, have tried to
treat all candidates for the nomination fairly and justly
and we cannot take up the fight in this instance When in
fact we have every reason to favor Mr. Arnes candid
acy AS an individual the editor of the Courier will vote
'for Mr. Amett on account of personal friendship and
further because he can do with clear conscience be-
Iieying that it will be for the better enforcement Of law

MARY'S TROUBLES!

Their Mary had the hives,
Mary wore two silken soX,
Rolled down below her knees;
But Mary once had chicken pOX,
Which spoiled the scenery.
Mary had little laugh,
Which sounded like giggle;

And kept her al la-wiggle.
Mary has little lamp,
She h8s 1t trained, no doubt;
For every time / call on her,
The little lamp goes OUT
