Dor and Prohibition electors, vote cast
for each candidate for governor. vote

sun City Union: "Mr. VIM. Adams |
has sold his stock of groceries to J. n. |
Bibb, who will continue business at the |
old stand =. Peter J. Mertes and Miss
Sophia FOllmer, both of this city, were |
publicly married at the city hall on last |
Thursday evening, Justice Taylor Offici- |
ating. There should be some correc- !
ton in the matter of our mail. As it |
Is. we sometimes get our eastern mail, |
and then again we don't. So far, this |
week, we have missed two days out of |
the four. Mr.. NJ. j. Saunders is mov-
ing his stock of dry goods and groceries
to Coldwater, where he will engage in
the mercantile business. Mr.. Saunders
is one of our Old-time merchants and |
we regret his removal from our town.
There are chronic kickerS in every
party. Some men are kickers for mon
ey and some are kIckerS for promises. |
But the consistent Democrat does not |
kick over small things. The man who
is Democrat all the year round, after
the nominating convention as well as
before, is the man To tie to. But watch |
out for the man who will not support |
the nominees of the convention that he
in. When a man takes
part in primary, he virtually promises
to abide 10y its action and he promises
to support the nominees of the conven-
ton to which the primaries send dele
gates. This is what makes up good
politics. Think of these things, Demo-
Gratis, before you allow Republican
money or Republican whisky to influ-
ence you in working against the nomin-
nees of your party.
Lake City Bee: r. G. Nichols, living
four miles southeast of town, took first

rounding this city, and reports that |

turned last week from q trip to his old |
home in Illinois. He reports that every
