\ small row took place on Sunday
at Wash Garrison 1 * farm, between
Tom Aaron and Jo*h Smith, both
while, in which the latter tcceived a
neveie wound on the back of hie head,
which r as thought to be dangerous,
bat reunited in nothing worse than a
very paiofa! bump on that part of the
creTruro, said to represent the organ
of philrprogenuiveness. It teems tha*
bad Hood was st rrd op between them
ahont some watermelons. Aron
ed Smith's children of destroying his
prospeol* for a good crop, by palling
< flf the young melons; and thus they
became involved in a dispute. Aaron
threw a rook at Smith and knocked
him down. Smith said, “O, Lord!
Tom, you’ve killed me,*’ at which
Aaron fled in one direction and Smith
in another. The conflict wagoner. l<
is said that Aaron was badly scared
and made himself scarce tor a while,
but has returned aga n, a happier and
wiser man.
Struck Him for a Loan.
A Texan in Washington once ap
plied to Congiessman Culberson for a
little temporary loan, promising to pay
it back in thirty days if he lived.
Months went by end the loan not paid.
One day the Texan mot Mr. Culber
son and extended his hand. The
congressman stared hd didn’t shake
hands After a few embarrassing mo
ments dia wled ou';
"I don’t know you, sir.”
“Oh. yes, you do. lam Mr. Blank
of Ban Antonia.”
Culberson shook his head as he re
plied with gravity:
“Yon are not the Blank of San An
toDia that 1 knew. He borrowed some
money of me and said he would return
it in thirty days if he lived. That
was a year ago. I have ne\er
Men the money, so I know Mr. Blank
of San Antonia, is dead, for be is a
man of his woid.”
The Texan stammered and shame
facedly said: “I haven’t got the mon
ey just at present, but--.”
“Vou don’t owe me ad and cent,
4
sir,” interrupted Mr. Culberßon, in his
impeiturable manner. The man I re
fer to is dead, or he would have paid
the money.”
Tbe Ban Antonia man disappeared
and baa carefully kept away from Con
gressman Cnlherson ever since. He
bolds an office in the treasury depart
ment.
The Bard was asked to compose a
little poem npon his childhood, and
this in what he produced: “How
dear to my heart is the school i attend
ed, and how I remember so distant
and dim, that red headed Bill and the
pin that I bended and carefully put on
the bench nncier him. And how Ire
call the surprise of tho master, when
Bill gare a yell and sprang op from
tbe pin so high that his head smashed
up the plaster above, and tbe scholar#
fill set op a din. That aotive boy,
B:lly, that high-lesping Billy, that
loud shouting Billy, that sat on a pin.”
Patient (to young Sawbones, who is
about to cut off his arm) —“Do yon
think the operation will be a success,

Young SawbonoF--“Of course it
will; I’ll have that arm off in less than
ten minutes.”

Eds Observer: —I >• in the last
issue of your paper the proceedings of
the oounty mating *0 appoint dele
gates to the various co rrant on*, state,
congressional and senatorial, and also
aa a t ele an senatori 1 to a ion.
It goes on to state, “when Banks
was attached to the 33 and senatorial
district it wae distinctly understood
that each coanty should be tepresent
ed in the sena’e ?n regnlar rotation
Thie agreement bat fceeu adhered ti
so far, but the last senatorial conven
Hon, two years ago, passed a resolu
tion placing the rotatiou system o i the
basis of population. How wa Btnks
attached to the senatoiUl district?
Was the district not composed of the
three counties? Did the constitution
say anything about rotation?
Wbat led to the resolu ion
by the last conveation at Gillsville?
Did Hall and Jackson not ask Banks
to put her candidates before the con
vention and let them have a choice?
Was Banks or her citizeas not denied
the riyh' by ring rule, and only one
man’s name conld be presented and
the other counties must take him or
nine? Was that not what forced
Jickp n and Hall to pass this resold
tion? It lo’ks like Jatkson and Hall
have some rights m the ease—‘heir cit
ie®, ‘heir railroads, their faototies, their
semina'ies, colleges, and all their
wealth; th’y certainly ought, under
the rotation system, have a voice as to
who the man shall be, and if the citi
zenß of Banks is denied the right to
present any man they chose, it would
be bet ter to give the whole matter over
to the other counties; conventions
should be of the people; the whole peo
pie, and not of a few designing offie
seekers, who are de erm : ne 1 to over
ride the wish and will of the people by
conniving to that end. It is the du y
of conventions not to have any porson
al objects in view, but the good of all
the people, and consult together and
determine who will be the most suit
able man to fill the office. But, in
stead of that, they select the delegates
themselves, and men that they know
will go tor their interest, and they
meet, only to confirm what has already
been accomplished by wire working.
It appears from the number of dele
gates to the senatorial convention,
that they intend business; that they„
are going to declare the balance of | ow
er role right now. Is that n t a vain
threat? Balanoe of power, what doe
that mean, and what would it lead to?
Let’s see. Well, if Jackson hicks up
Banks will form an alliance witb Hall
and leave Jackson ont in the wet.
What advantage would Hall gain in
that? She would only get a senator
every two yeaia, and it is plain (bat
•he would for n an alliance nearer her
eqna', that would be Jackson, and not
Banks. lam afraid they will scate
Bali and Jackson. If a big delegation
will scare, they will quake 1 would
think the beat plan wonld be, for
delegates to own 'he truth, that Banks
done wrong two years aye, and have
deserved the passing of that resolution.
If nail and Jackson wonld restore
them back to their original standing
in the rotation system, they shonld try
to do better in the future But when
•he fly gets on the chariot wheel, what

The Philadelphia Press tells this
story: Congressman Browne of Indi

who occasionally indulges too freely in
the flowing bowl, ne has been a good
fellow in hi® day, but like men of his
calibre, has rapidly descended the ld
dcr. until now he is compelled to ask
ass'stance to carry him through the
day quite frequently. A few days ago
he called on Mr. Browne and said that
be wanted a dollar with which to ge'
supper, lodging and breakfast. Mr
Browne handed fifty cen s to him with
*‘ v ou can get all that yon wait js
well as a few drinks for this half dol
lar.
He protested that he could do noth
ing of the kind, and asked Mr Browne
how it could be accomplished. '‘Take
this half dollar.said the congress
man, “and upend ir in the ordinary
ncuuner. Get full aud the polioe will
pull you in and take care of you t r
the night and give you a break a tin
the morning.“
The constituent pocketed the money
and departed, and Mr. Browne forgot
*ll about him until the next day. Iu
the morning a policeman canoe to his
honsa with a message from the const
tuent. He sent woid that he bad taken
Mr. Browne’s advice, had been arrested
and he wanted him to come and g< t
