BY UNCLE JAKE.
It seems that the desire “go
get something for nothing”
has got away with the
people’s better judgment. I
got a circular last week from a
whiv.key house in Macon, giving
the prices o' their whiskey
which was alright, but they
mast have a bait to offer, as
they offer three prizes, the first
a tip-top young mule to the one
who gets the right number, may
not ha/e one chance to ten
thousand, but it brings the trade
and the people get their bad
whiskey and get drunk. There
are plenty of slop drinkers in
the county. A boy rode up be
hind me the other day as I was
going to Cairo, and in our talk
he told me that his Pa had made
over $40 clear from the sale of
his wine, and wine is not all
they can get this side of Macon.
I said to the boy that I thought
his father was a “hard shell,”
oh, he was but ’ain’t now, he
has his church letter in the
trunk.
We find plenty of men who
would prohibit others from put
ting the bottle to his brother’s
mouth, but would tell you that
they have a perfect right to do
what they please with what
they make, and I guess when a
man owns a newspaper he has
a right to speak as he pleases
through it, but didn’t the editor
of the Times-Enterprise kinder
step around on the Populist’s
toes in last week’s paper. He
states that Tom Watson has
been to St Louis to the fair and
they didn’t keep him on the pike
with the other freaks. He says
the day of miracles is not over.
Tom Watson has as much
right to his opinion as the editor
of the Times-Enterprise, and I
have heard three of their sub
scribers say they are done with
that paper. I am an admirer
of Tom Watson and I think that
Watson is so much the superior
of the editor of the Times-En
terprise until there is no com
parison between the two men,
and if I mistake not the editor
of the Times-Enterprise is one
of the men who went to St Lou
is whom Tom says had to eat
dirt, and from my standpoint
I can’t see how any Populist
can support his paper, unless he
gives each one a piano or free
pass to the World’s Fair at St.,
Louis.
Mr. Rufus Fulford was down
in our settlement last Saturday
looking for a location for anoth
er year. We hope he will find
a place to suit him and move
among us. He,accompanied by
his brother Joe and Mr. I. D.
Singletary, went to Cairo while
h^ was here.
Mrs. DeMot left Sunday for
her home in Jefferson county,
Fla., but wall stop a few days
with her daughter, Mjs. Berry
Singletary.
Mr. Lezer Carter had the mis
fortune to lose his household
goods by fire Monday. Mr. Sel-*
lers loses the house he occupied
as well as nine hundred pounds
^of seed cotton.
Mr. Gordon Dixon went down
to Cairo Tuesday to market the
second bale of cotton from his
patch and says he will get one
more, that is better than leav
ing home and home influences
for pittance that many boys get
after leaving home.
Better Than a Plaster.

Jealous of His Handsome Wife.
In the Womans Home Com
panion Senator Depew tells of a
conversation between two men
of his acquaintance, one of
whom is the husband of an ex
ceedingly handsome woman.
It appears that one evening
after dinner the second man
remarked to the proud husband
at ,a moment when the beauty's
attention was give elsewhere,
“ Old man; your wife is such
a beautiful creature that I won
der you are not jealous of her.’
To tell the truth, I am,”
answered the husband, frankly,
and with fine disregard of the
attempt of his friends to be
facetious. a For that reason I
never invite anyone here that
any sane woman could take a
fancy to.”

better street lights. Just-think
about it.
