Drew Advance July 3, 1894: MYHAND'S PLACE (Wednesday): At the appointed place and time quite a respectable number of farmers were in attendance to meet the candidates. The location of this precinct is rather unfortunate. Tho' central as to territory it is not so as to population and there is rarely ever a full turn out here. The number estimated to have been present on this occasion was over 100--a decided improvement over former years. Mr. G.W. Hogue presided over the meeting and the program of excercises in the order of rotation was practiced. The candidates were all present except Mr. Andrew Cavaness, for surveyor, whose absence was excused--on plea of ministering to the wants of a new guest at his house in the person of a 10 pound boy. Nothing of unusual interest occurred at this place, except that we may refer with pride to the grandiloquent and lofty appeal of our worthy townsman, Mr. Jos. F. Bussey, who retired with ringing plaudits from the crowd and a glass of ice lemonade from Mr. Jno! . Hogue. Boquets would have been in order but they were not to be had. While in a mood of abstraction there came to our ears the strange sound of pathetic appeal issuing from untrained lips in poetic numbers. The words that attracted our attention had deep import in them, and as they refer briefly to the life of an unfortunate man we give them: "When'er you meet a human form Less favored than thine own Remember 'tis they neighbor man Thy brother or they son. O pass not, pass not heedless by, Perhaps you may redeem The broken heart of misery, To share thy lot with him." We here took occasion again to present the claims of the ADVANCE, and met with substantial encouragement. Among visitors from Monticello we noticed Messrs. John McQuiston, Pro. J.L. Spence, J.Y. Erwin, J.R. Allen and Charlie Hankins on his bicycle; vistors from Lincoln were J.W. Mauney, Jno. Sweeney, Lee Collins and Jno. Smith. This precinct is also in the dry strip, tho' it has had rain enough to keep crops going. Jann Join 18 million Eudora users by signing up for a free Eudora Web-Mail account at http://www.eudoramail.com
