tected.
We can find no resident of Wal
ker county who has heard anything
of the wife swapping, an account of
which was published in a Chatta
nooga paper, and extensively cop

a libel upon the fair fame of the!
county, and therefore would not !
publish it. — Summerville Gazette.
Yes, sir, a lie cut oujt of whole i
cloth, and we would stated
when we first saw it; but we did
not suppose that any body in the

it it. People who desire the news j
from this county, will find every
item of any importance faithfully
chronicled in the columns of the
Messenger.

My Dear Mr. Editor:
You don’t feel good, not one bit
good, over that victory in Ohio and
Indiana, do you ? now own up like
a little man. I like your paper. It
is newsy, but it foils to rejoice in
the Republican victory won in the
gieat West. Old it was your time
to rejoice and squint eves when
Colquitt wall ed over with 50,000
niiij"rity. But. we’ve got the laugh
mi you now; and I verilv believe
voo have forgot rl.nt an election was
ever held in Georgia. But you
must wake up and make ready for
our little rejoicing when Judson
Clements is elected. We are a unit
on his election, ar.d we will have a
common ca> se ot rejoiceing and jol
lification. It makes no matter if I
am a Republican, I have a right to
choose between two Democrats; and
l don’t see any reason for going
against our coun tv man. He made
us a good and faithful representa
| tive in the legislature. He voted
to tax all men alike. His vote was
not bought then by capitalists. It
’ cannot be bought in the future. —
My cup of joy will be heaped up
| and running over ; hut yours will
have a big lump of sorrow in it —
Hancock’s defeat. S. K.
No, sir, we are not feeling a bit
good over the result in Indiana. \\ e
did rejoice over the Gubernatorial
| contest in Georgia arid Maine. It
|is your time to rejoice now. But
; remember the elections this year
are the queerest things out; so don’t
! you be ton sanguine over Mr. Gar
l field’s prospects for the White
! House. It is our time next on that
I line. But then we are all together
jin the common cause at home;
I thftnk God for that, and after the
2nd of November, we will all re
joice and be happy together, ever
j the triumphant election of the Hon.
I J. C. Clements.

up the joints and leave thousands
of spavined horses as sound and

used with such remarkable results
for every kind of blemish or lame
ness on beast or man, that every
person owning a horse with stiff'
