Fisher for commissioner. We did not suppose he would support us, nor did we ask him for his support. We stated he would help us, and we believe he will. He tells his readers how R. E. Morehouse in-' vited him out to his melon patch and how many “mush” melons he raised ■—suppose this is a new fruit R. E. is raising this year. Don’t know what kind of (ood W. H. Marble is feeding Bowie which makes him eat out of his hand. But we will have a specialist to prepare a food that will regulate the liver, replace a grouch with a smile, reduce conceit and shorten his hatband. As soon as the food arrives will send the Review editor a full supply free.
