Me says they've paid his poll tax fur him, and jirt about kept him and the old woman in snuff and terbacker and other necessities for the last two months, and - that . sich tokens of beneverlence jist hachcrly makes him wish he could put in about U votes apiece fur them. But bein that he can't put in but one vote fur none of them, he dont aim to snow' no parsh'allity, so jist told each one ot them, that if he didn't vote fur him he didn't aim to. vote fur nobody, and he's going to be as good as his word, and not' vote in no primary!.,. But if he lives till the general election, he'll stick to the Tiominee unless ne gus a bigger fee). -( Ezra Erasmus, who lives over in Possum Swamp, says he don't see no use in so many people spending ev erything they make fur hne clothes, and sich like, when they won t pay their honest" debts. Sich finery dont make them no better than .their na bors, and their nabors children, and it don't make nobody have more re spect for them than they do for the plain, honest and hard-woricnig class of people, "it jist reminds me of the difference betwixt a right thick patch of. ox-eyed daisies, and an Irish later patch The ox-eyed daisies is awful purty 'to look at and admire, either in the field or in the flower pot. I was in one of the biggest hotels in Krioxville, Tenn., several pears ago, and every table in that big dining room had 2 or 3 flower pots on it filled with ox-eyed daisies. Now I'm here to tell you, they helped to set the table off, too. Yes sir, a patch of ox-eyed daisies is hard to beat, when it comes to.-looks. But the Irish tater patch had! done a durn sight more good fur the country, and they keep right on, in summer and win ter, hot or cold, wet or dry, feeding the hungry and clothing the naked, long "after the daisies, have' faded away and been, forgotten. And so it is with' human lives, these proud, vain, idle : and selfish people, that don't care fur nothing but show and worldly pleasures, are going to soon fade away and die jist like poisoned bed-bugs, and the world will never know nor think about them no more, and the good, honest, common and every-day class of people are going to soon go the way of the whole world too, and their tired and worn out bodies . will soon be resting be neath a bed of flowers, in our church yards, but the great influence fur good . that , they've been sowing and cultivating so faithfully, is going to live and grow, on and on through all the future ages, until time ain't a go-j ing- to be no more, and then they amt a going to smk into oblivion, fur they'll be crowned, 'honored and respected through all the eternal ages, and it will he jist uecause they had the nerve and back-bone to act with some sense, and live simple, honest' and useful lives, while taber nackling here below, in ' this sin cursed world of pride and folly. And since thinking the matter over; I beieve Ezra"is jist about right in his conclusions, so I'll leave the subject with-you. . . JESS NONSENSE.
