Senator Davis’ Predicament.
, The following from the Rus
jftellville Courier Democrat will
be read with interest, as it bears
evidence that even Jeffries Da
vis’ friends admit that their
efcie£ & in what Josh Billings
was Wont to refer to as a “tite
Ispot.” “It is the opinion of most
men who heard one or more of
the Davis-Brundidge debates,
that “Our Jeff” will have a run
for his money in order to retain
his senatorial toga. If the sena

first of the year to enter upon

j The Big Noise Before Christmas
| Coburn’s Greater Minstrels
| will appear at Newport opera
j house, Friday, December 22nd,
and from all reports they will
repeat the splendid success
made last season by presenting
a Brand New Performance.
The Greenville Daily News of
■ recent date has the following to
1 say:
} Coburn’s Minstrels gave one
I of the cleanest, cleverest and
most enjoyable performances of
the season at the Grand last
night. In football parlance they
made a hit from the kick off.
( The stage settings were beauti
fful, and the electric accessories
| well placed. If a good show de
{serves a good audience Co
bum’s Minstrels should play to
(capacity wherever it appears.
, The individual and ensemble
work was of high order, and the
i entire performance a success.
1 In the Olio were many new feat
; ures of the fun producing varie
ty. The European Marionette
novelty act was exceptionally
clever. Charley Gano was a
whole show in himself. He is
unquestionably, in a class by
himself, when compared with
fcjiere. To
--m
! affairs of
jas so clearly
his peculiar fit
fidPUpiPie position of chan
cellor that it is most probable
that opposition to Judge Hum
phries would be rather difficult
to develope at any place in the
district. While Chancellor
Humphries has numerous per
sonal and more than ordinarily
close friends throughout the
district, and in numerous in
stances within the personal i
knowledge of the writer, circum- i
stances have numbered some of
them among litigants in his
courts, yet his rulings have beenj
universally * unbiased, fair, im
partial and prompted solely by
the dictates of justice and the
law. When the offices of the
land are filled with men of such
intrinsic moral and intellectual
worth as Judge Humphries has
proven himself to be, the inter
ests of the whole people will be
amply safeguarded. That he is
entitled to, and will receive the
unanimous support of the vot
ers of this district is a practical
certainty.—Batesville Guard.
