Removal in Worth.
The removal election comes off
over in Worth county to-day. The
Gazette will give the latest news by
wire, from the seat of war.
About fifteen years ago, this ques
tion was first agitated, and Sumner
and the Stockade Lot, a point be
tween Poulan and Sylvester, ran in
oposition, Sumntjr winning by a good
majority, but falling short of the
two-thirds vote required by law.
Another election was called, and
Sumner ran again, this time opposed
by Sylvester, that place being the
nominee of a convention hold by the
supporters of Sylvester and Poulan,
to decide which of the two should
oppose Sumner. Sylvester won by
a small majority.
In the meantime, a law had been
passed providing that elections for
removal of a county site should only
bo hold in a county onco every five
ears, and the question was allowed
to rest.
It was being agitated two years
ago, when the courthouse at Isabella
burned for the third time. This post
poned the action until the latter part
of last January, when a meeting was
held at Sylvester and petitions put
out asking for an election for the re
moval of the courthouse to that place
About 1,200 signatures were secured
to these petitions, and the Ordinary
ordered an election to be held April 8.
Poulan considered that she had
not been treated fair in the matter,
being an avowed candidate for the
county scat, and at onco took steps
to place her claims before the public,
securing legal advice that decided
she had a perfoet right to enter the
race.
Both places are now candidates,
and stiring things for all they are
worth. Isabella, the old place, has
friends that are by no means inac
tive, and the election is one of the
most hotly contested ones ever held
in the county, The result is mere
guess-work, being in the hands of
that potent but uncertain factor, the
free ballot.
ISABELLA;
Well, next Friday, old lady Isabella
will have to tuck up her skirts and
double knot her shoe-strings, for her
race for the court house. It takes a
lean dog for a long race and if that is
so, I think that the old lady will be'
sure to get there.
Old man Alfred Meree is still con
fined to his bed from the fall he had
about two months ago. He is over
eighty years old, and when they fall
at that age they hardly ever get over
it.
Robet Deariso is prospering in
every respect, even his family has
increased so that he had to put an
addition to his house to hold them.
Bob has as fine oats as I have seen to
their age.
Old man Wash Dearso is building
his buggy house at last, that he has
sawed the lumber for three times and
and started two years ago, but for all
that they don’t make them any olov-
erer than the old man.

All the Same In Dutch.
Washington correspondent of the
Atlanta Journal relates the following
good one os coming from Private
John Allen, of Mississippi: The scene
is laid at John Onamberlin’s. There
were four in the party. All Dem
ocratic congressmen, all charging
with ebaoteristic congressional gener
osity, the party’s entire embarrass
ment to the president
Suggestions as to the next Chicago
platform were going around. And
so was the decanter.
One of them—from Florida—de
clared that if the nationul convention
adopted a free silver platform the
party would divide and go to wreck.
Another—from Sooth Carolina—pre
dicted the same [thing if the conven
tion adopted a sound money platform.
The third mau—from Louisiana—
without indicating precisely where
he stood, pronounced against a strad
dle, which, he said, would butter no
Democratic parsnips this year.
“And yet,” the three insisted in
chorus, looking at the fourth man
who had not yet spoken, “we must
have some sort of a platform.”
The fourth man—from Mississippi
—who drinks nothing but hot lem
onades —after acknowledging the sa
lute and throwing off his drink, said:
“Gentlemen, let me tell you a lit
tle story. A poor woman entered a

amined the display with great care,

“This spurred the salesman on and

indecison and some other remarks be

might be. Ilia large experience sug
gested that it might be unusual.
“These are all you have?” the
woman inquired.
“These ure all we have, madam,”
the sulesman replied, “und we think

“Well” she remarked, after anoth
