II you want to elect Favrow vote
for Kemp.
We ure again called upon to no.
tice the bad conduct Of several young
boys about town. There 10 = gang OF
them in Morris who not unfrequently
indulge In the criminal amusement OF
throwing stones At and destroying
tho windows of vacant residences
and public buildings and doing ,othsr
mischief. We learn Of ono instance
whore . family ct supper were sur
prissd by q. stone that came crashing
through the window and landed on
the table 1t which they were seated.
The citizens Of the place have put up
with this ANNOYANCE until 1t has be.
como unbsarable. And now Marshal
Kemp proposes, hereafter. to arrest
every young miscreant whom he nnds
In any mischief and have him dealt
with according to law. This Is q
word OF warning suggested by our
village marshal, ana it must be
needed or some Of these youthful
marauders will DO made examples OF
for their companions. They will
wake up some 6ne morning and find
themselves In the reform school.
Every farmer and voter in tho
county should cast his ballot for
Constantine Sax for judge Of probate.
lie is learned gentleman, a gradu'
ate from college, and efficiently capa'
bio, il elected, to perform the duties
of that ONCE satisfactorily to all in.
terested. But, As q candidate for
tho SURFACES of the people. Mr.. Sax
is in some respects unfortunate.
While he has the disposition he has
neither the time nor the money with
which to make Q canvass Of the coun-
ty and become personally acquainted
with all the. voters a. he would like
very much to do. It is his aim, how
ever, to visit his friends in every
part Of tho county before election
day. and il he should fail in this it is
no reason that he should be forgotten
at the polls. In the north and west
parts Of the county, whore he is best
acquainted he will get strong sup
port irrespective Of party. And
this endorsement Of his claim to the
Office By those who know him best
should be sufficient guarantee to all
who have not the pleasure OF per'
sonal acquaintance with our next
Judge OF probate that he is worthy OF
any trust the people see At to reposs
in Kim. Again we say do not give
man the cold shoulder because he has
to stay close to his farm and attend
to his business. but on Tuesday next
cast your ballots for C. Sax for judge
of probate, as..worthy candidate rs

Our village has an ordinance re-
lating to the sale Of Intoxicating
LIQUORS to minors and habitual drunk.
ards to tho restriction OF which
some Of the bar. tenders in Morris are
very Indifferent, indeed. This
cannot be said Of any Of tho pro-
prietors, nor, as , rule, Of the bar
tenders but there Is IN exception. 1t
il not an uncommon thing to see
young boys Keeling along our main
street in state Of beastly intoxica.
ton. Somebody il certainly to blame.
When it comes to this-that young
boys, not fifteen years of age, can
walk boldly up to the bar and call for
and be supplied with intoxicants-
it 10 time in tho name Of common
deceacy to protest against tee con-
tinuance Of such a practice. All
reasonble psople-patrons or nom
patrons Of tho saloons-will most
certainly join in such a protest. In
its application to aggravated cases OF
hsbitual drunkards this ordinance 10
also too generally ignored for the
public good. by these same indiffer-
ent persons. It is only with the best
Of feelings towards any whom this
statement may hit that we make them.
The best OF men must at times be re-
minded Of their duty. AZ the above
are hard facts and proper subjects OF
public criticism we offer these hints
hoping that they will do the good
