Railroad Notes-
To Thomas CountyJAlliancemen
Hon. H. G. Turner is the regular
nominee of the democratic party. As
such he should have the cordial sup
port of every democrat. Let us show

casting his vote for Hon. H. G. Tur

A Birth Day Present.
A young gentleman, whose birth
day occurred yesterday, was offered as
a souvenir of the day, a five dollar

of the setting sun had kissed tho hill
tops ‘’good night,” and sank inton
sea of golden glory in the west.
Well, he is carrying a $5 gold picco

make a mistake and put it in the
contrihu.ion box fora quarter ; and
then he’ll wish ' he had selected the
rabbit’s foot.
