band Wagon hits columbu.
The band wagon containing" the
republican" and democratic can
didates . for the .-various County
offices arrived in Columbus Mon
day morning as per schedule the
joint meeting being opened at a
quarter past twelve by Sheriff
A. L. Hill, acting as chairman
and announcer. i
x Mr. S.-B. Edwards republican
candidate for clerk's office was
the first to be called to the stump.
Sam spoke at some length on the
difficulties of his position on first
entering upon his duties as clerk
four years ago, but having spent
fa long time in acquainting him-
4elf with'thi work he was enabled
to offer better service to the peo
ple and the County should 1$
again be the public's choice. He
concluded by saying that he bad
no charges to make ainst his
opponent, Mr. John vprledgej
other than that John had served
the County off and on for some
thing like a quarter of a. century.
John P. Arledge, democratic
candidate for clerk, then mounted
he stump and said he was proud
o have served hi County for so
many years, and that he was still
young and active and able to give
the benefit of his vast experience
in this office to the County for
another "two-bits" of a century
should he be declared the winner
on the 8th of November. 1
Up to this point the speaking
went along in a business like way,
but changed suddenly when both
opponents fell into the retrospect
tive mood, recalling the days of
their boyhood, when they were
young ana giaay, tne ioonsn
blunders they made and rectified,
and so forth, et cetery, et cetera,
all very nice and becoming in its
own way but it didn't weigh much
with its audience. r : v
The rest of the' candidates on
both sides came, upr and went
down in apple pie order, simply
stating they would render to the
people of Polk County the best
that was in them, if elected,
without partiali;y to either side,
and were in the field for all the
votes they could! get. regardless
of where they came from.!
Hon. J. C. Fisher, democratic
candidate for Senate, closed; the
last meeting of the joint canvass
with a stirring address , moving
all hearers.. After his speech,
which was by far the best exam
ple of oratory given at this meet
ing, the audience dispersed from
the courtroom to gather in small
groups about the Square td : sum
up the situation.

The editor sat in his office '
whence all but him had fled, and :
he wished that every last dead -beat
was in his grave -7 stone p:
dead. His mind then wandered
far away to the time when he
should die, and his royal editorial
soul go scooting to the sky; when
he'd roam the fields of paradise
and sail o'er jasper seas , and all
things1 glorious would ' combine 'L
his every sense to please. ; He
thought how then he'd look across p
the great gulf dark - and - 'drear,
that'll yawn between his hafrpy
soul and those who swindled here,
and when for water they p would
call, and in agony they'd "caper,
he'd shout to them: "Just quench
your thirst with the due that's
on your paper. .
