faithful, notably with Revenue Collec
tor Duncan. He also saw Governor
RusHell. who not over three months
ago spoke of him as a "d n Jaybird
headed fool." pf course he conferred
With Dr. Cyrus Thompson.
Holton was very reticent, or pretend
ed to be about his reply to Chairman
Simmons' challenge to a Joint discus-
ion, but yesterday he let It get out
He declines the Joint debate, precisely
as was expected. As slated, Chairman
Simmons had no idea Holton would
accept and the only curiosity was as

CRAWFORD WAS RIGHT.
From the Hayesvllle Courier.
The position taken by Mr. Crawford
In congress upon the extension of bet
ter mail facilities to the country dis
tricts, was, we believe, the rlsht one.
Our people In these mountains, and
for that matter In all country districts,
are Just as much entitled to considera
tion at the hands of the government
as any of its citizens, and we believe
that Mr. Crawford's position Is en
dorsed by the people. But the amend
ment was killed by the chairman, Mr.
Loud of California, who raised the
point of order against It. Thus under
the rules of congress one vicious man
is able to do any section of the coun
try any amount of publlo Injury.
The Twentieth of May will be ob
served here, as always, only memorlal

no parade or other observance. Never
was there a holiday which 1 less ob
served. The fact Is that but a very
small proportion of the people In this
part of the world know how to really
enjoy a holiday.
The board of agriculture will at

that he was met at the railway station
by the father of the groom, and alo
by the latter, and that the three went
in a carriage to the H. F. lT. The groom
said yesterday that his plan had been
to let his bride continue at the H. F
r to let her father take her home, to
have the marriage kept a profound s(

claim his bride.
