It was a funny team, a mule
and an ox, driven to town
by a man without socks,
with a load 100 heavy for the
team to pull, for the ox was stubborn,
and so was the mule. The wagon
was heavy and hard to run, and was
loaded with father, mother and son,
three daughters, a babe and a mangy
dog, a* firkin of butter a goat and a
hog, three geese, > turkey and a bro
ken down fiddle, while a coop full of
chickens filled up the middle. The
wagon would squeak and groan un
der the load, ’till I thought it would
unjoint itself there in the road. At
last they drove up to the store where
| they found A. W. McLarty, the big
man of the town. The mule gave a
groan when they stopped with the
load, while the ox dropped down
completely blown. McLarty step
ped out to make them a bid, while
the women from bashfulness their
snuff boxes hid. The dog scratched
flees and growled at McLarty, and
got a number 12 kick from the head
of the party. We have come, said
the man, with a wink at the girls
who were already primping their
bangs and their curls, to trade our

NOTICE TO CANDIDATES.—
Our charge for making announce
ments is 15.00, which will run till the
contest is settled. We will not insert
even one line for any candidate for
less. Now bring in your announce
ments, and they will run until the
people pass upon your case. We are
against any and every candidate who
is too stingy, and has not considera
tion enough for his people to ask their
support through his home paper. Such
a man has no conception of the broad
views and liberality revuired in the
discharge of his duties, even should
he be elected to office, and we do
not believe the good people of old
Campbell will permit such a man to
represent them in any office within
their gift. Let this fit whom it may,
we mean every word of it. The people
are due Home ru*pect, and they will
require it of candidates^—JYsmul

An artistic gentleman from Doug

to attend to some business, and
waited about a week, cogitating over
the problem of how he should go and
return without having to stay all day
or ail night, as his business would
only occupy about half an hour. Fi
nally he hired a conveyance forf‘2,so,
and when he gut about half way
down there, the fact burst on him
that the train goes down at 3,35 and
returns at He soya the only
way he got back his extra 12,00 fare
was to laugh it tot, and he is Mill
