Smith, who some time ago took a dose of strychnine with suicidal intent, and came very near shuffling off his mortal coil, has about fully recov- ered. We are glad that the doctors succeeded in saving him, and if old John M. will just let booze alone, he is yet young and brainy enough to make for himself a brilliant and honorable record.

When he told her that he would send her a kiss over the line, she informed him that her other fellow was there in person, and said she was enjoying kisses and hugs ga- lore, of the real and proper kind. Then she said “goodnight” to the fellow at the other end of the line, and rang off.

The doctor says he could stand a strike now, but declares that he is too fond of “scabbing” to quit work, es- pecially since the strikers have con- ferred upon him the title of “D. 8.” John Blanchard was at the butcherin’, and he says they had a regular old- fashioned jubilee over it, with sperit- ous, vinous and malt accompania- ments.

When asked his experience, old “Mose” said: *‘Well, sah, some pra’rs is ansud, an’ some ain’t—it depends on what yo’ axes for. Just arter de wah, w’en it wae mighty hard scratchin’ for de -cul- lud brederin, I noticed dat whenebber I pray de Lord to sen’ one o’ Marse Jenkins’ fat chickens fo’ de old man, dere was no notice took of de petishun; but when I pray dat He would sen’ de old man fo’ de chicken, de matter was tended to befo’ sunup de next morin’!” Bee's Laxative Honey and Tar is am improvement over all Cough, Lung and Bronchial remedies.

Frank Hanly was teaching a country school near by at a starvation salary, wherewith he assisted in the support of a destitute family over in Hoosierdom, and barned midnight oil studying law. He also furnished neighborhood items and school reports for our paper. The other day he was elected governor of Indiana by a plurality of 82,000, and we—well, we voted the straight Re- publican ticket and still run a country paper, because we don’t know how te run anything else.—Rockwood Gazette.

If the Gazette speaks the truth, our Republican brethren down there cele- brated the event after the manner that Democrats usually celebrate. Follow- ing is the Gazette's account of the af- fair: “What ie projector tarmed a Re- publican ratification meeting was pull- ed off in Roekwood. Saturday night, and it required pretty much the whole night to throw off, or up, the enormous quantity of ‘enthusiasm.’ A white horse procession, Emanusl Custer and much noise were the notable features, with Policeman Dupont and Dr. Gild- ner as managers. Emanuel was the orator of the occasion and his pedestal was a banana crate. Notwithstanding the fact that Emanuel is known tohave fought in all the wars since Xerxes in- vaded Greece, he opened his oration with, ‘Ladies (hic) and gemmen (hie), I'm fer peace,’ when biff! bang! bump? ah! um! Emanuel measured his length on the ground. The grand finale was a huge bonfire at 2 0 ‘clock in the .morn- ing, the fuel being oil barrels appro- priated from a store, and for which the gay company were required to pay a neat sum the following day.” FIGHT WILL BE BITTER. Those who will persist in closing their ears against the continual recom- mendation of Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption, will have a long and bitter fight with their troubles, if not ended earlier by fatal termination. Read what T. R. Beall, of Beall, Miss, haa to say: “Last fall my wife had every symptom of consumption. She took Dr. King’s New Discovery after everything glse had failed. Improve- ment eame at once and four bottles en- tirely cured her.” Guaranteed by E. H. Miller, Druggist. Price 50c, and $1.00. Trial bottles free. 1-1 BURGESS LOWRY RESIGNS.
