T HIK SPACE belongs to The Big Iron Store Hustlers who have been so busy this week selling goods that they could not write an ad. THE FOX AND HIS TAIL. A fox was once caught a trap by his tail and in order to get away lie was forced to leave it behind. Knowing that with out a tail he would be a laughing stock for all his fellows, he re solved to try and induce them to part with theirs. So at the next meeting of foxes he made an address on the unprofitableness of tails in general, and the inconvenience of a fox’s tail in partic ular, adding that he had never felt so easy as since he had given up his own. When he sat down a sly old fellow arose, and wav ing his long tail with a graceful air, said with a sneer, that if, like the last speaker, he had lost his tail, nothing further would have been needed to convince him of their usefulness; but till such an accident should happen, he would continue to vote in favor of tails. And ’tis just so when a customer of ours goes into some other store and the merchant tries to make him believe he is selling cheaper than we are, when in reality he is way above us n prices—he simply says that until he is convinced he will con tinue to vote in favor of WALTER BAKER & CO. N. B. Give us a trial and we’ll give'you proof that the above is correct. STOP! & STOP/ ftSTf-OPt At J. R. Tolleson & Co’s. Cheap Store and share the benefits of the extraordinary low prices we are making in Men’s Suits, Shirts and Hats, Boys’ Pants, Dress Goods, <fec. We can save you money on these goods and have the prettiest line you ever saw at such low prices as we are offering. STOP at the place where everybody trades. Don’t bo afraid to ask to see goods, we don’t charge anything for showing them to you. Yours truly, J. R. Tolleson & Co. The county campaign has been ar ranged and from all indications it promises to be not only the shortest campaign on record but to have a good deal of warmth in it. Already the political pot seems to be bub bling over—in fact it is boiling hot— and it would he’a prophet indeed who could name the winners. All the candidates seem to he in the very best of spirits and all hope to he elected. One commendable spirit manifested by all the candi dates is that general good feeling to ward each other. We have yet to hear the first man in the race to make an unbecoming remark about anoth er. l.et good feeling prevail all through the campaign. In pursuance of the call for the Presidents of the different Democrat ic Clubs of Cherokee county to meet and formulate plans for the approach ing primary election for county trea surer and auditor, and the general election for wther county officers for Cherokee county, the presidents of the various dubs assembled in the town council chamber last Saturday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. The fol lowing presidents of clubs were pre sent : J. W. Thompson, of Blacksburg. it. M. Jolly, of Grassy Pond. I. G Sarratt, of Limestone. J. G. Blanton, of Midway. C. S. Humphies, of Maud. L. B. Davis, of Macedonia. The following gentlemen represent ed their respective clubs in the ab sence of the presidents of the same: J. A. Scruggs, of Ezell’s. K. F. Gibson, of Draytonsville. J. F. Jamieson, of Timber Ridge. J. T. Hughes, of Wilkinsville. Buffalo, in the absence of her pre sident, Col. W. D. Camp, was repre sented by proxy, J. \V. Thompson being the representative. Thiekety and White Plains were not represented. This is to he re- grettid. It is the desire of the peo ple that our friends who opposed us will lay aside any personal feeling they may entertain and join right in now and give the county the benefit of their deliberations. There is no necessity for any further difference in the matter now and they should come into the fold. I. <i. Sarratt was made temporary chairman, and called the meeting to order. Ed. H. DeCamp explained the ob ject of the meeting, stating that in the absence of any regular organized county campaign committee it was necessary to have some such meet ing, and to formulate plans for the carrying out of the campaign. The next thing in order being the election of a permanent chairman and other officers—the following were elected J. W. Thompson, Chairman. Ed. II. DeCamp. Secretary. I.. B. Davis, Treasurer. Mr. Thompson took the chair and explained the laws governing demo cratic primaries, etc., in an able and concise manner, after which he an nounced that the chair would enter tain any motion coming within the jurisdiction of the assemblage. I. G. Sarratt moved that the elec tive candidates—that isjthose who are elected to office and not appoint ed—should he required to run in the primary election. R. M. Jolly moved to table Mr. Surratt’s motion. The motion was tabled. A general discussion then took place and it being evident that things were getting in a muddle the secre tary secured the privilege to the floor and explained that the first thing to he done was to settle on the primary, the second to decide on the date, and tiie third to decide who would he re quired to run in the primary. At this juncture R. F. Gibson moved that a primary he held on Sat urday. March 20th, for appointive offices alone, and that it in no way interfere with the regular election to be held on the 27th forjelective offices, the men receiving the plurality vote to he recommended to the Gover nor for appointment. The motion prevailed. I. G. Sarratt moved that all the candidates for elective offices be re quired to run in the primary on the 20th, the two candidates for each office receiving the highest vote be ing required to run it over in the general election on the 27th. The motion was lost. As matters now stand there will be a primary election on Saturday, March the 27th, lor the offices of treasurer and auditor. On Saturday, March 28th, there will be an election for Clerk of Court, Sheriff, County Supervisor, Judge of Probate, Coro ner, Senator, and County Superin tendent of Education. Now do not get these two elections confused, as they in no way interfere with each other. On motion, the following commit tee was appointed to look after the printing of the tickets and election notices: C. S. Humphries. X. G. ! Sarratt, L. B. Davis, J. C. Blanton, anti J. X'. Jamieson. The committee decided to assess each candidate 50 i cents for printing, and all candidates are required to pay that amount to Ed. H. DeCamp before their name will be placed on the tickets. Candi dates are requested to govern them selves accordingly. The committee have decide 1 on the following questions, and ail the candidates are requested lo attend them: To-day at Mabry’s Mill.
