This time it is Charles Hedges, superintendent of free delivery at Washington. The charges have the same old sound, so what is the use of repeating them in detail. Hedges was ' service postal appointed to the through the untiring efforts of our esteemed friend and fellow townsman, but although a native of Ohio and a resident of Mansfield, was credited to the Tenth Congressional district of Texas. His uncle was at one time the business partner of the late John Sherman. He was the Texas agent of the Associated Press at one time and sent out some matter reflecting upon National Committeeman Cuney, who is a negro. Cuney slapped his chops for him in public and as Hedges stood for it and did not offer to fight back, the white people of the vicinity made things so unpleasant for him that he got out. Being transferred to Indianapolis he. succeeded in ingratiating himself into the confidence of President Harrison and accompanied him through the south and west at the time he visited this city. While in Indianapolis he became acquainted with our esteemed friend and fellow townsman, and with the balance of the Indiana gang in politics. An attack upon John C. Now, of the Indianapolis News, led to Hedges being fired, when our esteemed friend and found fellow townsman immediately him a place.

J o John Rydalch, of Grantsville, called at the office of Truth a few days ago to make a few corrections concerning a cucumber story wg printed concerning him a short time ago, but which were so immaterial we have concluded to omit them. He wanteJ to state the variety of cucumber and where he got the seed, but such matters are too trivial for us to notice. John is now experimenting with a breed of heavy-taile- d sheep, imported from Australia, which he thinks will be winners here in this state. These animals are about three times the size of any other sheep, and have a peculiarity of growing a tail which is almost half as heavy as the sheep itself. So heavy do they grow that it is found necessary to provide a pair of small wooden wheels so the sheep can pack his tail around with him. A strange thing In connection with these tails is that they are all solid fat of such a delicate character that when permitted to get cold they excel the best dairy butter, and John thinks he can put all the butter men to the bad by raising enough sheep to supply the market. Any time one wanted butter all he would have to do would be to cut the tail off a sheep. Of course, having become a Republican, John wants congress to put sheep tails on the protected list, so his Infant industry will be given a chance here. of the new syna- corner-ston- e He- brew congregation Montefiore on Third East street, between Third and Fourth South streets, wiU be laid early this month with appropriate ceremonies. o . for rates, folders, fres Illustrated booklets, ate., laqalra of jew Merest tioket agent, specifying the Rio Grand rente, or illr Jl Jl secre- gogue which is being built by the Through Pullman and Ordinary Bleeping Cars to Denver, Omaha, Kansas City, St. Louis and Chicago without ohange.
