If Republicans do their whole duty next Tuesday, a splendid victory will crown their efforts. Don’t forget that next Monday is the last day of grace for paying taxes. The, next thing to do is to vote the party out of power that gives the taxpayer no return for his money. __________ It is very easV to vote ttie straight Republican ticket. Stamp opposite the words “Republican ticket” on the red and white tickets, fold them ho the initials of the clerks of the ejection will show, hand them to the inspector and walk out. Even a alow voter need not occupy two min-

utes.

We demand that our benevolent institutions be placed above the level of partisan politics, and that they be controlled by boards composed of members of different political parties, appointed by the Governor, to the end that the cost of their maintenance may be reduced, and tliebelf Uss and nrifortunate wards of the State may not be made the victims of nutit appointments dictated by the caucus and made as a reward for party serv-

ices.

The above paragraph is from the Be; ublioan platform adopted at the

Read This! How to Vote—To \ otc a tkket straight the voter will stump the square opposite “Republican Ticket” anti no other. If H Is Intended to i otc a mixed ticket, he will then stamp the square before the name of each candidate for whom hejvotes and NOT stamp the square at the head of the ticket. I SrIALL DE SATISFIED.

OLD MEEK AVENGED. At Meyer's Cross Roads, Tenn., a deserted shanty marks the spot where there once flourished a great,coiumercial emporium. This busy mart of merchandise was presided over by a wheezing old fellow who was known ns Meek Bender. His whole life eeems to hove been j a continual round of apology. His fear was not of a drought, which might injure trade, or of an overflow of the | creek, which might wa. h his house j away, but that he might at some thoughtless time wound the feelings of his fellow man. His name was John, but his habit of extreme care, his man- . ner, which had been refined into gentle- | ness and th< n loftoned into timidity, brought te him the name of Meek. His I business was good, for there was no | other store in the community, yet ho was always hard poshed. Tho fact is ho was too timid and too much afraid of giving offense to refuse ( ralit, and when credit had been given ho was too gentle I to ask for tho money which was due him. I Even people that were regarded as strict1 ly honest were not slow in imposing on

j ol^Meek.

two back room of Meek's store was ! the wet tiny gathering place for the neighborhood. Contracts for the yfgj;

were drawn up the:e, and many an old score hail been settled in that ding)- back room. When tho weather was cold and when tho lire burned low no one would offer to go out and bring in wo«xl from the rick, a short distance away, but some strapping fellow would call old Meek, no matter how busy bo might bo. “Hero, old boy. you will have to calk up this room to keep tho fire from getting out if you don’t mind.” “Gentlemen." he would reply, In a most apologetic manner, “yon must really excuse mo. You'll pardon me, won’t you? I will do better in the future.” One day ’Lige Porker came into the Store, and calling old Meek aside said: “Meek, I'vo got to have $05." “ ’Lige," Meek answered, with embarrassment, “you Iponv that if I had it you could get it.” “What, haven’t yon got it?" "Not to myo my life, 'Lige." “Oh, como now, Meek. Who ever beam of you lx-in’ out of money? The I rest of us mont. be hard np. bnt you air alius fixed. Let me have twenty-five." “ 'Lige. I lent tho last cent I had this i very mornin’.” ‘■(Jo nnd look m ‘he drawer. Meek. 1 reckon you’ll find some sneakin' round in thar.’ - “I took out (he last cent. 'Litre." “Wall, dang it, go an' look when 1 tell ! you." ’Lige followed him to the money drawer. The old man pulled tl e drawer open and said, “Thar now, ’Lige, don’t yon see thar ain’t none?” “Thar ain't none, slio 'miff. Who did you lend it to?" *T don't like to say, 'Lige.” “Oh, it's nil right. What diffVonce can it make?” “None, only I don't like to be tollin' who I lend money to.” “Come, tell me. 1 won’t say a word about it.” "Not a word, ’Lige?” “Not a single word." “Wall, I'll tellyou, jest to'commodate yon. but please don't mention it. Jim Ilenly come to me this mornin’ an’ lowed that ho must liave twenty-five, an’ 1 let him have it. although I’ve got a bill that I must pay this week or shut up the house.” “Jim Henly, eh? VV’y, he oughter have plenty money. He's got some colts that he can sell any time fur a good price. May, when he pays you back will you let me have the twenty-five*” “Of course, 'Lige. you know I'll let you have it as soon as 1 get it.” That afternoon 'Lige met Jim Henly in the road. "Hello, Jim, which way?" “Oh, sorter ridin' roun’ for my health, as the feller ’lowed when he was gittiu’ oaten the way of the sheriff." “Didn't know but you was goin’ over to old Meek’s.” “Wall. I didn't know but. I mom ride over that way befo’ the thing is done with.” “Goin’ to pay him that money, 1 reck-

on.'’

“What money?” Jim asked tn sur j prise. “The twenty-five you borrowed from him.” "How tho devil do you know I boi rowed any inony from him?” “You won’t say nothin’ about if, will you?" I "No. Go ahead.” “Wall, 1 was over ti) the store this mornin’, an’ the old man was sorter complainin’ about a bill he’s got to pay or shut up tho house. Said ho needed the money lie lot you have.” “Ah, ha, the old fool is paradin'it 'round that ho let me have a few dollars, is her “Not particularly paradin' it, Jim. He 'lows that ho needs tho money, an' 1 I reckon ho do. Don’t say nothin’ about 1 it, but if you can raise the money, w’y go an’ give it to him. Wall, so long.” It was a chilly evening. A number of the “boys" sat in old Meek's back room playing cards. ' “You've got rue filled n-pw,” said Alf Moore, blip.filing his cards. “Got mo down whar the grout .1 is mighty rocky. Hello, Jim Henly, how air they coinin'? Squat and take a hand.” “Whar is old Meek?” Ilenly asked. “Gone out to git some wood*. I b'liere.’’ Meek came in and put a back log on the lire. “W’y, howdy, Jim,” said tho old man, as ho brushed off his sleeves, “isortor chilly an’ saft outside.” Jim stood looking at him. Altera while he remarked, "Yes, a little chilly, but not as much so as it will bo if people don’t stop tallrin’ about thar betters.” "Anything wrong, Jim?" the old man asked. “Yes, tlmr is. Thar's a blame sight wrong." “What is it. Jimmy?” the old man asked, almost affectionately. "Why. it's this, an’ I want yon to understan' me when 1 s;iy it. If yon don’t stop blownn’ an' a-snortin' about lendin’ me tUat money I’ll shut off your air. Oh, you needn't try to look like a sick kitten. You've been talkin' about me, an’ you know it: an’.more’n that, I don’t intend to let yon He out of it. Don't say » word, you old blatherskite. Tl/e tongues of old fools hayo caused me enough trouble lately—caused me and my wife to part—shut np!" < )ld Meek bad attempted to say some thing. “Jest st.-uT tlmr an’ take your medicine. ns I am a mind to give it. Yon have been playin’ tho hypercrit with us long enough, an’ me for one luri’t goin’ to stand it no longer. Don't say a word, I tell you—don’t open your chops. Yi>u git about ever' cent that’s made in this neighborhood, an' then when a man wants a little accommodation yon go around an' blow about it.” Every one gazed at Jim, but not a word was spoken. The violence of Jim’s I temper was well known. No one moved except Alf, and ho, taking out bis buckhorn handle knife, liegan to cut off a chew of tobacco. “Yea," Jim went on. “wo’ve been thinkin’ all along that you was so harmless when wo mont 'a' knowed that yon was a snake in the grass. What, you will say Bomethin’, whnther no! By j G—d, I'll show youl" He snatched the knife out of Air* hand, apd. eo quipkly f^jat a wjdo await*

They took old Meek from the floor and tenderly placed him on the bed. “Alf,” said the old man, 'T’vh bled on your hand, but 1 couldn't help it, Alf." *•###* The boys were in tho back room of the store sitting up with the old man. Several days had elapsed and a physician who luul ju : left thought he might recover. He was resting quietly: the boy? were playing cards. “Gentlemen” "Want anything. Meek?” Alf asked. "No, 1 don’t want nothin’, an’ above all I don’t want to interrupt the game, but 1 jest wanted to tell you that I believe that I r.m dyin’.” "Ob. 1 reckon not,” Alf replied, getting np, but when he readied the bedside the old man was dead. • * » • • • "Who’s thar?” Jim called. oi>eiiing the dorr and gazing into the darkness. “Alf an' the boys,” came the reply. “What do you want, boys?" “Como out here.” “What's up?" he asked when he came to t he gate. , “Jestice.” “I don't understand." “But you shall. Meek is dead." “I understand.” “Cy, hand me the rope,” said Alf. • • * » * * The men that were putting the grave clothes on old Meek the next morning could look through tho door—the door through which ho used to bring in wood —and see Jim hanging from a tree.— Opie P.
