KLUSTER OF BULLS EYE SHOTS "Ed Hatcher and Jeff Beruett the gay young colored thugs who attempted to murder and rob young Monroe Long on circus day, and who succeeded in getting Long’s money alter beating him insensible, will serve in the penten laary for five years each. This comes of the negroes bungling their job. Had they killed Long they could never have been con vic ted of murder in Floyd county. * * * The same might be said of Liza Ferryman, the dark amazon’an who fired a pistol shot into anoth- ■er colored sister, without fatal results. Liza was defended by Col. George Harris but she was sent up for three years, all the same. * ’• Another ca«e I noticed yest«’« day the finale of theouecharg * dug John Harris, col, with steal ing two bales of cotton.

They! take the grounds that the Govern or was smart enough to know what I was “short”on, and hence gave me the “honor.” The fact about these third party people in Floyd, is that us democrats have about whaled enough sense into them to make democrats out of them. We will lick em about once more and then they will “come on back out of the wet.” * * * In another column will be found he anou ncemen card or Deputy Sheriff J. P. McConnell, who offers as a candidate for the office of Sheriff. Mr. McConnell will be elected —“Mark that prediction.” He has associated with him on his ticket big hearte i, clever Dallas Turner with-his-laugh, and wide awake, hustling, klever Klip Wil liamson. These three men are known all over Floyd county and being known, means in each of their cases, to be popular. o o o Messrs. McConnell aud Tun »r are “old binds” iu the sheriff’s office. They know every branch of the business of the county and pi) ii wuich pertains to the sheriff’s office — hey have been wheel horses under that “born sheriff ’ Jake C . Moore, and are honored and respee'ed by ad men who have done business with them. Tee people know them and the pi-nple will support them. o o o The youngest man on the ticket is Mr. J. K. Williams, —a man born to serve the people, a young man who has often been called to fill the o Tices of trust in our municipal government. That he has filled him acceptable is the universal verdict of the people. Klip Willisom adds muehjstrength to the ticket—such men as he al ways do, to any ticket, no matter how strong that ticket may have been before. Again I sav J. P McConnell will be Floyc’r next sheriff and again I ask you to “Mark the prediction.” o o o Clerk of Court, Will Beysiegle, has announced for re-election. So well has Mr, Beysiegle served the p tuple of Floyd that 1 hear of no oposition A man would be loss ing time and money to enter a con test against Clerk Beysiegle in the present campaign.

SUNDAY DECEMBER. 2 1894 HOME AND COUNTRY. The Christmas Number an Unu sually Fine one. How do you manage to do it for the money? is a question which might properly be put to many of our magazine .publishers. The world wonders at it. Yet the an swer is found in the fact. In these days, many of the monthlies furnish a veritable gold mine in way of illustration and added to this an excellent in tellectual feast at a low subscrip tion price—not higher clast —mag- azines attempted such things. As a result the leading magazines were then considered a luxury such as none but the rich aud .well-to do could afford . The popular heart w >s not touched, The tendency now is to make the m gazine as much a necessity in the homes of the common every-day deople as is paper the daily or weeidy home without which life is not worth the living. Among the magazine of the pres ent time, the Christmas number of Home and Country, Corporal James Tanner, Editor, just at hand is an evidence of what can be done by the publisher intent on serving the cause of the common people. Reduced in subscription price to $1.50 a year, and sold at 15 cents a month, the latest issue of this publication, from an artistic point >f view, because of its numerous full-page illustrations, and as v. 1 irom the variety of subjects treat ed, well maintains its reputation asa leader in its line. Published by Jos. W. Kay, 53 East 10th St , New York. MRS. MARY WEBER.
