Ha!-ha!-ha! How easily you are gulled! Horace didn’t mean a word of it. His career as a journalist in other years, when neither age, sex or condition were proof against his attacks, will not sustain it. Estimating the source, so |far as we are concerned, we accept his “friendly admonitions” as the sheerest hypocrisy—the shallowest pretense. Bro. James gives “A Bit of Ancient History,” in the Message this week. The dispute calling it forth is not of a character requiring us to meddle; we hope to continue our representation in the Senate with a Democrat. But the year alluded to —1874—brings vividly to mind

the Met that that was the precise period,too, when our distinguished brother first “asserted his individuality.” Brutus had his Ctesar, but the late Cousul at that time had his Price, in the person of one Charles H., of pleasing memory. The flag of ‘asserted individuality’ trailed in the dust for a short time and then its bearer kicked back into his old party traces. On the ascendancy of Hayes, thro’ the theft of the Presidency, after a term of weary watching andjpraying he was tendered the Consulshin to Turk Island, a land where birds “deposit their wealth in the sand.” His love, devotion and affect on for the people of J asper county prompted him to decline the honor. A pilgrimage to Washington resulted in the fraudulant occupant of the White Hous removing Mr. Sigler, and elevating over, at that time, a fourth-class postoffice, our distinguished friend and brother of the Message.

The new display of Goods, selected and bought by such a combination of experience and taste as Mr. and Mrs. Ludd Hopkins may justly claim to have, will certainly sell at the prices offered. With the permission of Providece, the endorsement of a Republican convention, and the sullen consent of Mr. James, S. P. Thompson issues his Message, in which he declares himself willing to risk the chances in a senatorial race. Trot lum out! The business of W. J. Wright deceased, will continue, under the management of Park Wright, who is authorized to settle all claims and collect all moneys due.

It i 1 a notorious fact that Leopold gives greater bargains than any other house in town. Call and examine for yourself.
