Oct. 16th 1873. ts [communicated.] Edtors News & Farmer : I have noticed in your esteemed paper a contest between friends of Mr. Jeremiah Howard and W. H. Fay, which has been going on for some time. They both seem to be contendingfor military li nors, which they think ought to secure their elec tion in January next, for Tax Re ceiver of this county. Now, Messrs. Ediiors, as both of them have rendered such ellicient service to their c ountry in the late struggle, that it is out of i};e ques lion lor the people to decide which of them are entitled to ihe honor ol Receiver, and, for fear that one pr the other may be un niemionally slighted, by the voters ol the coun ty, I have thought it be*t to co tie 10 their relief, as I am a frieu I to both, and offer ir.yseif as a comp o- man. I have fought lmrdei than eith r of them, and have bien in ihe field longer. I first volunteer ed under King Emanuel, and be longed lo his command in Augusta, Ga. I next joined the ranks ofCapt Ftank Roberson to fight the baiU'JS of my country, and had many liar I skirmishes in Green street, and in Broad street. I afterwards joined the ratiks of Capt. Wi'sm, com manding the Augusta Artihjy Guards, and had some heavy cm onadiug, and always put the enemy to flight. So you see I, too, have seen some hard s> rvice But the haidest fighting that I have done has been in ihe service of rny King, as before state I. I volunteered at the age of about twenty years, and lor about ten years I was high pri vate in t lie rear rank. After awhile signs of valor began to fie noticed by the Generals ol my King’s array, and they recommended me for pro motion, and a council of the King’s Cabinet vv s called and mj claims set before ihem : 1 found fav r with the officers of ihe Cabinet, and 1 was recommended as worthy of a com mis-ion. I received my commission, and ever since then I have fought upon many hard co,.tested bittle fi Ids. I comm in ed young and vigorous, with fair prospects bes ire me. In the defense of the cans • I espoused, I have spent my jou h, my manhood, and my fortune. I have grown poor, infirm and old in the c ruse. If my friends, Howard and Fay, purchased their military lionors with their blood, it was a small quantity, an I ihey still have enough left to secure to them aco n fortable living, under the gloiious liberty which their uneqoaled va or has achieved for them. But my seivice is not yet complet°. My armor cannot be laid and iwn, ‘‘lor the weapons of my warfare are not car nal,” artd with my visor donned, my shield firmly fixed on my foremn, my feet shod wilh the preparation of the Gospel, the sword of the Spirit g rtel to my side, and the spear ol Faith firmly grasped in ms hand, I press onsvar.l to defend the honors of my Lord. Bitl am com pelled, for wan of strength and vig or of b i.lj, io lay aide ihe mall, the chissel, the 24 inch guage, the com pass, the square, the trowel, plumb and level, and set me dosvn upon the rough ashler, and looh out upon the checkered pavement, ihe well laid foundation, the signifi.-ant pillars, the magnificent stair-way that leads to theb -auiifu'chamber, from thence io the glorious smetum, where the shining altar contains God's in ’Stis malile gift io man, and there wait, and expect help from the grand masiers, as well as the many over seers and fellow craftsmen who have gone this way, or that may follow alier me—md, as the compromise man, receive the support of all others that can feet kindly towards me, or that may noi be able to decide which of the two veterans, of other days, to support. Dear friends, I ha e toseecun rades at variance, and you know it will be so if either Howard or Fay is elected ; therefore, to prevent ihis hard feeling, I will most gra ciously thank you, everv one, to come and caet only one vote apieee, and if I get one vote from every man in the county you will have for your Deceiver E, J. Pannal. Alexis Astor. In Southwestern Texas, there is a caule-raißer who has lived there 20 years. On going there he picked up a doxen cows, and branded them He had no land but was ihe posses sor of a wife, two or tlnee gun3, a tew dogs and two or three lioises.— He k< pi a wa ch of his cows and lived in a fion.-l and.eo-mouth way lor several years, subsisting his fain ily by the capture of game and sale of skins. In 1573 he owned 30,000 Jiead of cattle, duly branded and ranging over ihe plains. He has a family of cine children, five of whom are boys, lbs eldest child is a girl nineteen years of age. She can rope a steer, kill a wolf with a rifle, or strangle a dog at arms length. In lire man’s house is a nail keg nearly filled wiili gold coin, while in the pantry is a flour barrel almost .filled with silver pieces. When he sells caitle ii is tor coin, which is dumped on the p.-ern ses. He will not take paper money ai any rale, hui is always ready to se I steers for gold and silver. His boys are all la uiii'ar with guns, h ts s, dogs and cattle. .In a lew years more .they W'll have literally cart loads ot mon ey, provided ro >bers do not make a .ranl upon 4hem, in which case man, wife, boys, girls, dogs aud shot guns th- raiders would be api to gel more bullet holes than bullion. '1 he hous" occupied ny this prosperous family is low, built of logs., and contuins three rooms. The father and mother sleep in ihe (lining room, the girls sleep in the spare room, while .the boys sleep in the addition. The Horse Shoe. The farmer went to town one day uccum;>a!iied by his so >, lit tic Tnom as. “See,” said he io him on the way, ‘there is a broken burse shoe in the road; pick it up and put it iu your pocket.’ Oh, no, faiher,’ replied Thomas, ‘ii isn’t worth while io stoop and pick it up.’ His father (tnsweriug nothing, picked it up aid pm it in his own pocket. He sold it io the blacksiniih of the next village for three farthings and bought cherries wjih the money. Afier this coniirjued their journey. The sun was burning hoi, Wiiher bouse nor tree nor spring was anywhere to be seen. Thomas suffered with thirst, and had gr. at difficulty iq keep mg up with his fa ther. The latter then, as if by accident, let fall a cherry. Thomas picked it up with as much eage n-88 as if it had been gold, and put it m his mouth. A little further on ihe father let fall another chert y, w hich Thom* ass- ized wiih the same haste. The game continued unnl all the cherries had been picked up. When the lasi had e iten the lather turned to the sou. s niliiig and said: ‘You now see that if you had been willing to stoop once io pick up the horse shoe, you would not have been obliged io do ii a hundred times ior ihe cherrie-.’ Noah was a k ileci of the first water. The vilest sinner in iy everything bui an umbrella. The hardest ihing to deal wiih Au old pack of cards. The pillows in the Duluth hotels are so large that travelers can bald ly pocket them. A contemporary defines ihe waltz as “hugging B et to music.” The definition is new if the idea is not. The wicked flea. ‘‘lt ain’t so much ihe biting, ii only the plaguy thing wouldn’t keep gei ting up and sitting down all tile lime. Exactly. James Gray of Vermont wrote her “I love you as the tempest loves the placid lake,” aud now she is obliged to sue h.m for breach ol promise. When a you ig lady has to stay at home trom a party on account oi a sty on her eye, it is useless to tell her that Providence doeth all things for the best. One es the meanest things a small buy can do is to put tacks in the chairs when he knows that a young man is comiug to call on his sister that evening. ms “What is bull-head luck !’’ asks O, Kentucky paper. Twisting a mule tail and gening a way from his without being kicked, comes ties wn enough to answer the question. j tll | A negro insisted that his race mentioned in the Bible. He said had heard the preacher read ahou C j how “Nigger Dooms wanted to b’ C V born again.” ‘•ls the candidate for Sheri 0 50 here ?” a-ked a stranger as he looker, into an Illinois barroom. ‘‘Yes why,” answered eighteen men a, n they rose.

J 8 _ he An engineer on the western Nortb el Carolina railroad shouted to a crowuf' i>l rustics wli ■ had gathered to sed‘l the fiisi train of cars come in, “Put down your umbrellas ; you’ll scare t e engine otf the track." The umb'ellas were lowered at oace. "■> The following singular advertise ment appears in a Canada paper:] “All dose people what I owes, I’ll not ax dem for dat} But all dose people what owes me Must pay me immediat. e A cute young wile says: “When , I want a til e snug day all to myself, ’ I tell George dear mother is coming , and then i see nothmg of him until: 1 iu the morning. “Wife, do you know that I have got the pneumonia 1” “New monie, indeed ! Such extravagance ! You’re the spendihrifii'st mm I ever did see ! To go and lay out money for such trash, when I want anew hat so much.” A local ednor has seen a min who it lie thinks pieny well occu. pied. He has his wife on one arm, a baby on the other, a basket and cane in bis hand*, a cigar in his mouth, and two little hopeful heirs attached to his coat tail. Josh Billings says : ‘Success don’t konsisi in never making blunder, but in never making the same oue the second time.’ Muggins says be never tried bark but once, and then it was so mixed with bite, it was questionable wheth er it did hi.n so much good. It was reco rnnend' and by a gardener as a cuie lor an appetite lor other people’s fiuit. A Philadelphia gentleman advert tises a soap itiat will wipe out the national debt. There is probably some ‘ lye’ about it. '1 hese are the peiformauces of sweet Susie Gray, ol Independence, Mo., when tne old folks tried to m iriy her to a mm against her will: First, she kicked the parson’s hat offi Second, she knocked the chap down that wanted to marry her.— Third, she rode off a straddle on a mule. A Kentucky crusader confessed the other and iy that she had kissed 16 men and thus drawn them from iho intoxicating bowl. She gave the names ol the men, however, and their wives are no.v inquiring with muen anxiety whether whiskey drinking is as bad as il is supposed to be, The pounding of the stomach for the cure of dyspepsia was the cause of a good joke the other day. Two men were conversing what they had done to cure themselves. “Do you knead your stomach ?” “ l—■! . couldn’t get along without it,” ro respundeit the other, in the last stage ol astonishment. A hasty tnan with his arms full of his wife’s baggage, thought he was left by the train last night, and run. ning rapidly across a platform, fell over a truck. He straddhd one of the handies and rode it lor a second, lunged forward and got his legs tin gled up in the cross pieces, when the malicious thing reared up, aod slid backward just enough to throw the man off his, balance and get him down ; he blacked his eye and b oke his spectacles against the han dle, and ran over his foot with the wheels, and even after he got away from it and was seated in the car, he says the truck ran after him and kicked him twice in the ribs before the brakeman could take it awa from him.
