The Black Moun tain correspondent of the Citisen says: The smouldering fire kindled a. year ago among the partisans of "hog" or "no hog" has broken out in a new spot bv hansrlog Mayor A. G. Robinson in effigy. Soon after daylight a figure with two placards fastened on it was dis covered suspended from a tree near the post office. The dummy was removed and is being held as evidence In legal nrvweedlnra which are to follow. The result of the mayoralty contest In "99 was a tie and tbe opooeinr eonflt dates drew straws for the office, the "no bog" ticket winning. Mayor Rob inson's administration cleared the town of the. nuisance of roamlnir cm titers and he became a tarset for threats and nersonal violence. The bitterneae en gendered at that time has cropped out occasionally since, and wnen tne elec tion for 97 was allowed to go by de fault and the Robinson officials became hold-overs there was a renew of the hostilities.

Aside from the re-assertment of Orna meat's superiority, the race was a dis appointment. Ornament's price IS to SO and out.- prevented aay heavy playing oa him by the visitors, while Typhoon, at 11 to 10, waa -hardly more attractive. A very large sum of money was made oa the race, but it was not done by Ornament. It was made by a select coterie, which had apparently very ex cellent reasons for knowing that Buck videre would run second, and the com ponent parts of the coterie found 2 to 1 for a place about aa good a thing' as they wanted. t:r --t- - Aa Ahseat Sob Beaaraed and Wale Oorrespoodeoco of the Observer. -- - - Hornet June 21.

The current, rumors as .to tne Cau casian newspaper being Interested in the public printing are denied by Man aging Editor R. C.

It was Republicans of the "straitest sect" who brought the news here from Washington of the renewal of friend ship between Senators Butler and PritoJiard. and that the latter waa con sulting with Butler as to the division of offices.
