GOV. BOB TAYLOR
Something et His Early History and
of His Political Life.
"As a Paganint among fiddler
and a Patrick Henry umong pol
tioians, the ox-Governor is un
doubtedly tho most admirable
product of the moonshine regiont
of his admirable state. Whothei
aB a dfidler, orator, or patriot, ht
is u crodit to tho country n
whioh his native moonlit moun
tuns form sopictu.'osqueapart."
Tho9o ""words frm tho No
York World show woll th .Bti
mation in whioh Governor Tay
lor is hold in tho busy, bustling
North, far from the more sympa
thetic and enthusistio land o- his
birth. And no where can we
find a oalm'T or more conserva
tive critioism of "Dixie" than the
following extract from 'the Herald
of tho samo great city.
"Ho has, too, tho happy knaok
of dialect, and his stories of the
negro quaitors were, in conse
quence, artistio gems. The
wonderful versatility of the man
can hardly be overestimated.
From the broadest humor he
jumped in a flash to the nighost
eloquenoo. Ho talked in dialed
and blank verse, recited statistics
and then saner plantation cones
Between times the fo-mer g v
ornor would stare off on a pictui
esque description of the charm of
tht South. It was like tfo tink
ling of bolls, the' rippling of run
ning water, and tho audience
seemed to regret tho ending
when he" bowed nd rotircd."
Please remember that this is an
unusually restrained and guarded
estimaie. For the ordinary crit
ioism seo the dictionary of super
latives. No other is adequate to
the occasion.
He will lecture at the Durant
Court house on Wednesday, Deo
27th.

N. W. Carter and Family Leave Today
For Gulf Coast.
'
Fred Engman and wife werd
called to Fort Worth, Texas, Sat
urday night, tn the funeral of the
wife of A. W. Lowery, Fred's
brother, who was buried at Fort
Worth yesterday at 8 p. m. Mr
Lowery died of typhoid fever.
As a pacifier of unrequited
lovo there is no remedy equal to
the razor, properly applied, and
when in the hands of.' a dusky
damBol wiih hato'in iher heart
and jealousy in her eyo there aro
not ap4- to be many mis-applications
of tho antidote made.
Saturday night in Atoka the
colored "400" in Coontown gave
a fanoy ball. All tho high-toned
coons wore there, and the dusky
.helles in their most fetching!
gowns sought to shatter tho idols
of their less fortunate sisters and
steal their men away.
Lowella Anderson was one of
tho most dashing danoors at tho
dance, and she imagined herself
the only swell female in the
bunoh. Sho was armed with a
trusty razor and a desiro to take
from Jemima Jones her best
man. Tho gentle Jemima remon
strated1 in a vehement way and
Lewella, tho terror, 'flew into a
passion and began to carve upon
Jemimajs carcass in un improved
way with a razor and but (or the
timely interference of other coons
there would have been a new
coon in tho other world today.
