f. w. Myler, the democratic nomi-
nee for county surveyor, has declined
to be q candidate for the Office. As bis
place on the ticket will probably not be
supplied, Capt. Dewitt will have q
walk over-as he would have had any
how.
We are very grateful for any news
our friends may give Us, and we try nj.
ways to use It. We do hope though
that no offense will be taken in case
we should fail to avail ourselves Of
your items. Even newspaper men
sometimes forget.
We see by the Inter- State that Col.
8. G.. Lewis has been made democratic
candidate for county surveyor, vice
Myler resigned. We have high re-
gard for the colonel, but he Is "old
enough, big enough, ought to know'd
better"
DR.. Lafary has proven himself to he
o reliable dentist and Is permanently
located and he still guarantees first
class work for reasonable prices ex-
tracts teeth without pain by the use Of
the safest anaestbetic known. Call

All the school districts in the county
are supplied with teachers. We are
very sorry we forgot to mention this

that the County Superintendent Of

strued our forgetfulness into q personal
affront.
Ifyou owe G. Amrine please cone in
and pay at once and save further
trouble.
w. w. Anderson has bought the
building on Washington avenue for.
merly occupied by Sam. Bloom, and
has rented It to Mr.. J. L. Swap, who
will occupy it with stock Of fancy
groceries. He will :.als0 run lunch
counter and will probably be ready for
business next week.
The sympathy Of the entire commu-
nifty is with Professor and Mrs. Olin In
the loss of their little boy Harold, whose
death occurred on Monday. This SYM
pathy was fittingly expressed by very
large attendance ut the funeral servi.
ces, which were conducted by. Rev.
f.. $. Miller at the residence on Tues
day afternoon.
The Library directors are discussing
the advisability OF making u lecture
bureau of themselves, with q view to
securing number of noted lecturers for

scheme Is one which it would be great
" to the credit of our town to have
carried out and we hope the ladies will
decide to undertake it.
LOST: Democratic Harmony, a
foundling. Was last seen in the Court
House at lola, about the time the
democratic county convention assem-
bled. Left soon after the proceedings
begun and has not been seen or heard

reward will be paid by the candidates
OH the democratic ticket.
We are glad to announce that Rev.
w. s. Webb has 80 far recovered from
his recent severe illness as to be able to

some of the ladies of Mr.. Webb's con-
gregatiOn had taken possession Of his
residence, and had prepared supper.
A very pleasant welcome.
We regret to announce the death of
Miss Selma Chase which occurred last
Tuesday night. The deceased has not
been in good health for some months

sudden end unexpected, and l. great
shock to her family and friends. The
funeral services will be held at the
Baptist church at 10 o'clock this MORN
ing, Rev. W. s. Webb officiating.
For the sake of our confused friends,
the enemy, we hope some authoritative
announcement will he made soon as to
who is really running against Mr.. Hen
derson for the office Of Commissioner.

Marmaton is also solid for democra
cy; this is Dawson's township, and
they intend to give him q clean sweep.
Inter- State.
The ''sweep" they will give him will
be out Of political existence. If the
Inter. State would take little pains to
inquire into the matter, it would find
that there are plenty of democrats in
Dawson's own town, who will n It sup
port him.
