Will be Dead
When the lion eats grass like an ox,
And the fisherworm swallows the
whale
When the robins knit woolen socks,
And the hare is outrun by the snail;
When serpents walk upright like men,
And doodlebugs travel like hogs.
When grasshoppers feed like hens.
And feathers are growing on frogs,
Wnen Thomas cats swim in the air,
And elephants roost in trees;
When insects-ln summer are rare.
And snuff never makes people sneeze
When mules on bicycles ride;
When foxes lay eggs in the sand,
And women in dress takes no pride;
When Dutchman no longer drinks
beer,
And girls get to preaching on time;
When billy goats butt from the rear,
And treason's no longer a crime;
When humming birds bray like an
ass,
And limburger smells like cologne;
When ploughshares are made out of
glass,
And the hearts of true white men as
stone;
When ideas grow in fusicnists head.
And wool on the hydraulic ram;
Then the Democratic party will be
dead,
And the country wont be worth a d-m

VIRGINIA ALL RIGHT.
Solid Democratic Delegation to

Virginia sends a solid Demos
cratic delegation. After a hard
fight in the Ninth. Judge Rhea
has probably defeated General
Walker by 1,000. The Demo
cratic plurality on Congressmen
will strike somewhere in the
neighborhood of 40,000 or 60,
000. The Democrats have elec
ted Charles H. McCorkle, C.
Harding Walker and U. VV. L.

State Senate. McCorkle was
closely pushed by Fulwiller.
The Best 1'liiHter.
A piece of flannel dampened
with Chamberlain's Pain Balm
and bound on to the affected
parts is superior to any plaster.
When troubled with a pain in
the chest or side, or a lame back,
give it a trial. You are certain
to be more than pleased with the
prompt relief which it affords.
Pain Balm is also a certain cure
for rheumatism. For sale by
