Ordered Out Of The Shop

Henry C. Smith, the republican nominee for congressman, has more than once got into trouble by his love of repartee and practical joking. He has felt that the colored vote was so solidly republican that he could talk to and about them with impunity. So it happened that be joked so long and so loud about love of chickens, etc, that James Gott, a colored barber of Adrian, ordered him out of his shop, for remarks derogatory to colored voters.
