KILL FATTED CALF.

\\ bite County Republicans Would Reclaim Prodigals. The local republican workers of Monticello are arranging to give a banquet next Thursday evening, Feb. sth, to which they say, “All republicans of White county, regardless of past party affiliations, are invited.” In thus killing the fatted roossters and preparing the feast beforehand, our republican brethren are putting it over the old man in Luke 15, several points. In that case the calf was not killed and the feast prepared until the prodigal had become satiated on husks and had returned penitent to the family home. So far there does not seem to have been any loud protestations of repentance on the part of the White (Ainty prodigals, but the feast is being prepared and the invitation has gone out for them to return to the told; with an assurance that they will be made welcome, regardless of what they have done the past tw 0 years, Wonder if the prodigal is yet so hungry that he has forgotten the ’Benedict Arnold” that the old man hurled at hitn.as he took his departure from the family circle less than two years ago?
