A PACKAGE FOR BOBBIE
A Crisp Brown Bundle With tin
Compliments of J. L. Brow n
If we clip short oil the wing ant
tail feathers of a rooster it make!
him look somewhat Bobbie, an<
so when I got through clipping
“.Johnnie” he jumped up and call
ed himself “Bobbie.”
Now, Bob Johnnie, or .Johr
Bobbie, as the case may be, lister
to me and I will tell you a few
other things.
You talk about it taking thret
weeks to hatch an egg. Now
John Bobbie, havn't you got senst
enough to know that it takes long
er to hatch a large egg than ii
does a small one? Would you ex
pect to hatch an eagle in the same
time you would a wren? Johnnie
if your body was no larger tbar
your mind, you probably hatchec
in thirty minutes.
Now, Bob Johnnie, if it was sc
well known that the legislature
would vote to extend the session
why did you not send in petition?
against it? And if everybody
knew it was coming, what was the
need for me to write and tell them
Where was you, you great guard
ian of the commonwealth, that
you was not warning them your
self, and getting them to petition
against it?
You lug in Judge McCaleb and
then admit yourself that I did not
vote to dismiss him. What ther
does that have to do in the case!
Not a thing in the world, and yoi
know it. You doubtless did this
thinking you would array his
friends against me. Are you that
big a fool, to think that people
can’t detect your dirty schemes
“Thompson’s colt” would look
like a Solomon standing by the
side of you.
You talk about “Honest Will
Thompson.” How is it, John
Bobbie, that he is honest when he
voted to extend the session and
thereby voted as much to discharge
Judge McCaleb ns I did. We vot
ed the same way on these matters
and yet he is “Honest Thompson”
and I am “Dishonest Brown.’
Now don’t you see^you hung your
self with your own rope, and did
not have brains enough to know
it, you blubbering idiot?
Don’t you think you had bettei
change your name again?
Talk about folks standing or
their heads: it makes no difference
which way you stand, whether or
your head or feet, for you have nc
brains in either end.
Now, John Bobbie, the truth ol
the matter is this: You are not out
with me because I voted to extend
: the session, nor because of Judge
McCaleb’s dismissal—it was other
thorns that stuck into you and
made you sore and that makes
you kick, but you havn’t got the
manhood to tell the truth, the
whole truth, or any part of it,
about the matter.
These things you mention are
only pretexts and subterfuges, and
all the people can see it.
Now in conclusion, let me say
that you are mistaken about smell- j
ing rotten eggs—you only smell
yourself, and think it is rotten
eggs. Don’t you know that a rot
ten egg would smell like a rose by
the side of you? Get a dozen rot
ten eggs and put in your pocket,
and see if your neighbors won’t;
thank you for the change?
Now change your name and
come again if you wairt to, and
you will hear from
J. L. Brows'.
CARD Of THANKS
We wish to extend our heartfelt
thanks to our many friends for
their many deeds of kindness and
words of sympathy during the
prolonged illness and death of our
beloved father, J. A. Williams,
who departed this life April 23.
While words are too weak to
express our appreciation of your
kindness, and the things of this
life can never reward you for such
noble acts, yet we are sure you
will be rewarded by our Heavenly
Father who doeth all things well.
“There is no death! The stars go
down,
To rise upon some fairer shore;
And bright in Heaven's jeweled
crown
They shine forevermore.
There is no death! An angel form
Walks o'er the earth with silent tread;
He bears our loved ones away,
And we call them dead."
Virrou Williams,
AND SISTERS.

The game was played well up to
the sixth inning when several er
rors were made and Sulphur Rock
scored five times, making the
score at that time ten to five in fa
vor of Sulphur Rock. The New
ark boys realized that it was up to
them to win the game by slugging
and they took nine hits from Jer

the seven h.
Sulphur Rock never rallied after
| the seventh, and the Newark boys
kept placing the ball where the
Rockers couldn’t handle them, and
five men scored during the re
maining part of the game.
Although there were a large
number of scores made, the game
was made enthusiastic by the
shouts constantly coming from the
side lines of either team.
The line up was as follows.

PASTOR JERNIGAN WRITES
Dear Journal;- With my mail
on the 8th came your familiar
face, but your dress seemed long
er, and 1 said, “Maybe its the long
trip up here that lengthens your
robe.’’ Anyway I think you look
better in long dresses, and you
looked like the face of an old
friend, and 1 talked you all over;
felt a sort of at-home like sensa
tion while conversing with you.
Our meeting began on rising
ground and is going higher at
each service. Eleven conversions
to date and many others becoming
interested. There is an opening
for a great up lift like we had at
Newark two years ago, but I can
not stay with it to the end.
There are some fine people up
here, and they are good stock
raisers. They raise good horses
and cattle, and 1 have seen some
of the finest mares here I ever saw
in the state; in fact they are the
best I have ever seen. 1 think if
Nuck Moore or Labe Hall could
see them they would almost shedj
horse-tears to buy some of them. |
Tell Doc Lane to come up and
go squirrel hunting; the woods are
full of them.
Jas. F. Jeknioan.
