Well, I've been sorty bizy, a'n haint had no time for wntin for the last few days; but I'm jist bound to write you the news. The radicles haz carried the county with - a whoop, an they're jist a traggin about it, an their little carpet bagger editor is a aingin az gay az a crow ff.th the croup; old Diuger Bill said he oouldent tell which it sounded most like, croup ara crow. . Well, they'll all sing ; like crow, or eat. Crow or sometbin worse aoout the mornin of the 9 th day of November, canee about this time in the fall of every election year they carry the county. Old Dinger Bill says he likes their ticket . (be aint hard to pleeze nohow) pnrty well all but the two little boys they nominated for the lejislacher. Bill ' says they're both too young, an he haz h.z serious doubts aoout whether one of em haz shed hiz milk teeth yet. He knows the othi r'n bamt, "case," says Bill, "he's jist a cuttin em. They do tell me that one of em aint twenty-one yit, and tother iz jist about that age. Now, dont any oody know they dont expect to elect thise two little boys? Why the little fellers would cry for their Mammies, an then the fokes at Kawley would laff at em. I've been a reaum their papers all along, an it tickles me to see what tney write about us democrats. They're always a talkin about git tin recruits from the democratic party. ' Aly! My! My! Sich re cruitg az they git! Now, there's the Oawhashynn, an the News at Greensburrow, an then there's their 1 t:le paper down in Chatam, an then their own right in this county. Magnificent, especially the latter! "Gittiu recruits?" Yea; they git what we sweep out the back door. Who objects to that? Some towns hire a trash wagon, but if the dem. ocrutic party can git one without payin for it, we ought to thank the drivers for their kindness, for it saves that much money. Well, it aint no use to be dis enssin probabilities unless they're possibilities, but let ns suppose that a great county like Randolph should send two bojs down to the lejis lasher, an they should be all the time laid up on account of cuttin their teeth. What would go with our business? There are millions of dollar's worth of property in this county, an it muse be protected by the laws male at the meetings of the General Assembly. What would go with our Kndoiph county in. tertsts while our two repreeent -tives were rnnnin nround on the streets at the capital all the ti me cryin with their guns, an nawm on ruboer ring.? If they've got to go they must nave a rattle apiece, some soothin syrup an a little wagin. I don't know whether they can git milk there or not, but they must be taken care of, cause our people haz beendemandin child labor laws to protect them that aint old enongh to look after themselves, an it wont do for the lejislacher to preach one tniog an practice anotuer. Then they talk about our fellers bem sore. Our fokes iz decent, an honorable, an we haint got a man that dont know somebody haz got to lose. You can always tell what kind or stuff that s in a man by tne way he takes a lickic. If he aint much of anybody, he gits sore when he cant git everything he wants. An then there's the little chigger that wants office, an cant git it. When he cant git the nomination he hikes out for the radicle party. - So 5ou see our primaries are a kind of ouse cleanin, an ; the trash that aint wilhn to stand by aa honorable compediter iz jist swept ont. Now we haint got any of that kind, jist now, but I waz speakin of it cause we have had, an they went az re cruits to the radicle party. , Some of em's got : little1 offices; but they conldent git elected. . They was ap pointed by a man who never seed em ia hiz life. - -. ;t If yon want to know how they iz a runnin this campahe I can tell you. They're bitter set, but they fat satisfied with their natures, but bfure they talk about the democrats, oc write -a' little scrib for their fatuous paper they haft to have a little- quinine on their tongues. When they git about two spoonfuls they're ready for bizaess. ; While they're explainin ' things mafbethey can tell us why it takes a democratic letter mailed by cer taininen or their employees twice or three times z long to git down hWwly about eight to ten miles a? it -does for a republican . letter to git inhere. ;Js -dsmocratic letter heavtgr (I know that head general, ly iz),or .do they have to be inspect ed, or do they have to make changes? An then why iz it we cant git the Couriar until Monday or Tuesday of th, week after it iz published whife other prayers (so-called) come on 1 Friday or Saturday? Old Dinner Bill says we fellers have the State an county machinery, but we done git to run the mails. An then why not make a full ex planation about them recruits? f hey ough to publish the names of them fellers, an what made em jine the radicles. An then they migh state what inducements, if any, were offered, an they might state whether they wont to their State convention on the Butler-Morehead excursion or not.' We dont git all the news from the county seat while its fresh, but we have heard that them re cruits, one or two of em, haz beenin votin their ticket, other things be a equal, for some time; an we under stand its the same two that they talked about when Ulyses waz a little tiny baby, an that's been a long time. An then you know Circe waz along there, too, an she changed some of the followers of Ulyses into swine, an to this very day the haint ever thought to change em back to fokes like they waz said to be. bo its been a long time since them tiro fellers voted a democratic ticket, an who knows but what Circe iz responsible for their change. - Then they have some fits about building one a few years ago, an they told the people how it ought to be done, an how the democrats wouldent do their duty. Not since the days that Baalim 'rid a carpet, bagger have they been so windin an twiscin an crawnshy in their state ments az they are now. They dont remember one of their fables long enough to tell another, an so they're all ways mixin up things. But then they know it when they mix up their tales, an they mean to mix em up. That's the way they make tueir .campanes, an its the way they're goin to lose this one. Your, brutber, Mike. A Model Citizen. Mr. Hugh Parks, who died in Randolph county last week, was the best type of pioneer cotton manufac turer in North Carolina.

Prominent Citizen Dies Our Franklinville Correspond ent sends in the following ac count of the death of Mr. Huh Parks, Sr , who was one of the county's foremost citizens: On last Thursdav morning at about two o'clock, whil- our peo ple were resting in the soft bal my arms of slumber, the death angel stole his way among us and quietly wafted the spirit of our kind friend and distinguish-' ed citizen, Mr. Hugh Parks, Sr., to it's e'ernal reward, and when wc- iiiuming uawueu uav nut sau news spread quickly far and wide, such a cloud of sorrow (n-CICU WTC UUS VUIUUIUIUUr H5 perhaps n ver visited Us before. Even the gentle breeze that play among the trees and Jhe. ripple ing of 'he waves seemed to whisper in doleful tones that a, big heart had ceased to beat and a noble spirit had left us while Mr. Parks had been in feeble health for quite a while, yet his condi'ion was not considered ser ious until a few days before the end came. Everything that could be done by mortal hands was done for his relief but all in Tain. In his declining days he often spoke of the future and but a few days before his death he told his loved ones that he had been born again and was ready for - the change and when the Master called, he gently laid down the working tools of life and crossed the dark bosom of the angry flood and entered into the morning of life. The funer al service was conducted Friday morning in the Methodist church by the pastor Rev. J. E. Woosley, assisted by Rev. C. A- Wood, of Asheboro, amid one of the larg est concourse of sorrowing peo ple that ever gathered in our town. The remains were quiet ly laid to rest in the Methodist church cemetery and the mound 1.. A1L. i :lu was me tuiy cuvereu wilu uie most beautiful and flagrant flow ers that could be obtained. Rev. Mr. Parks was born in this county near Parks Cross Roads and was a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. John Parks. He was eighty-three years, six months and twenty-three days old. When a boy he worked on his father's farm and afterwards taught school and clerked in Foust store near his home, and about 1851 moved to this place with but little of this world's goods but with a good character, plenty of push, integrity and good business methods, begun a business career that has hardly been surpasssed by any one in this section, and at the time of his death was one of the leading cotton manufacturers in the county, the largest stockholder in the two mills at this place, besides being one of our largest land owners and interested in banks and perhaps othe, indust ries. Mr. Parks was ever ready to lend a helping hand for the upbuilding of our town and took a deep interest in the education of our young people, and the success of our school (which is one of the best in the county) is due to him for more than any other one in the community. The deceased was married three times, first to Miss Lizzie Cook, of Fayetteville, and of this union there were born four childred, three of whom were buried in infancy, little Anna and being about two years old at her death. Mr. Hugh Parker, Jr., who still survives and is the only heir and whose shoul ders the burden of his father's business has rested for several years. About twenty four years ago his first wife died and some time afterward he married a sister of his first wife Miss Anna Cook, who lived but a short time. Ogan he was mar ried to Miss Lizzie Sumner, of this place, who has been dead several years. Mr. Parks was one of the best known and most highly respected citizens of this community and while we feel sorely bereaved yet we humb'y bow to the Father's will and can only say peace to his silent slum ber and rest forS his immortal soul We extend to the loved ones our heartfelt sympathy and may meir nupc uo ever micnurcu . in the solid rock, Christ Jesus, who is able to heal . the , broken hea.ted and comfort the sorrow ingft . . - ' " ' '
