During deep family allliction and death the
good people <jf Brierwood gave to a sorrowing
friend every help and kindness that might
com lort a sick wife or alleviate the pain and
anguish of a bereft husband, and for the same
I extend my heartfelt thanks to physician and

A J.UXL IN THE VELUKO.
Alter all, It makes but little difference with
most of us?who yelled so lustily, talked and
wrote so vehemently, and voted so,arduously |
forSheppard or Tlllmau--who Is Governor.
We have served our day, and can now go i
about our business until next election when
we will he expected to do the same thing over
again. Thus It Is that biennially we are privileged
to play our part in the history of this 1
great nation. " 'Twas ever thus from the for- <
matlon of our government, only three of her i
rulers havlne been chosen from our class rep I
resenting three-fourths of the voting strength i
of the nation." This places the Presidency '
beyond a possibility for us. and there is now
so little honor in being Governor, Congressman

TlfOtTCJHT Tit KICK WAS 1II.00D ON THK MOON.
Oil last Wed lies nay morning, after the Press

news of Mr. Moore's defeat had been geuerally
disseminated, I Incidentally heard that Mr.
J. R. Bullock, in a seeming excited condition,
was hunting for me. I could not understand

what he hud heard, so I concluded toglvehiin v

about noon, when we met on the stairs, me u

that wax tigood place, If pistols were used no
one else was likely to net hit. To my surprise
the meeting was mutually pleasant, lie begun
by saying that he wanted to tell me be- j

price, for the crop is going to be a very short
one In this section. The crops of corn where
well worked, are good. Some of our planters
will make a great deal more corn than it will
Lake to do them. Mr. Teke Cllnkscales a
young farmer sets an example which should
Oe followed by all who till the soil, young and
aid: Having a surplus of corn he hasDeea
selling It all the year and if nothing happens
lo destroy bis crop this year he will make
enough to do him two years. I would advise
the young lales to set their caps for him.
