We make a motion that the bal
lot* be re-counted.
To the election commissioners:
For God’s sake re-count the bal
lots once morel
In Independence county politics
this year it has truly been a case
of the tail wagging the dog.
The Journal will head the list
with $1 toward a fund to pay the
county election commissioners to
re-count the ballots all next week.
What a pity the ballots were not
re-counted a few more times.
Matheny would have undoubtedly
been elected if the re-count hadn't
stopped so soon.
After the elections are all over
the Batesvilie Bee has managed to
screw its courage up enough to
stick its head from behind a rock
and holler “fraud!”

The Newport Independent is ad

tain a “pair of spectacles and case,

be related to the urchin who car

marbles, matches, slate pencils,
broken knives, nails, tin whistles,
pennies and tacks in his hip pocket.

Lingering Summer Colds.
Don’t lot a cold run at this sea

est kind to cure and if neglected
may linger along for months. A

the attack at once. Safe, sure,
acts at once. Cures coughs, colds,
croup, bronchitis, all throat and
lung troubles. The children like
it. J. I. Sturdivant.
THE WHISPER IN THE AIR.
In spite of all the Summer, there's a
whisper fh the air
Of the Fall time, that’s a waitin’ in
the reaped fields over there;
A kind of chilly feelin’ in the blowin’
of the breeze
That's rumplin’all the tresses of the
sociable old trees.
An’you sorter (jet to thinkin’ of the
joy that’s cornin’ ’long,
When you hear the Fall-time music
like a balleluiasong;
When the barns are piled with plenty
an’ the cotton’s in the gin,
An’ the world seems jest the best one
that a chap was ever in!
Oh, you feel the good time's cornin'
an’ you’re wishin’ fer it, too—
The hives so rich with honey su’ the
promised land in view!
Why. a feiler feels like dancin’, put
some white sand on the floor,
An* you listen fer the fiddler to cum
knockin’ at the door!
