TnE Batesville Guard is authorit

TIE Batesyille Guard is authority for saying that Hon. l.. F. Feather ston. president of the State wheel, will be al independent candidate for con gress in the First district. This sounds like the wheel means to have independ- ent candidates in the field. Probably the wheel organ of this county can eu- tighten us on this subiect.-llelena Globe.
 THis district has never been repre- Sented in congress by a farmer. We've been voting all the time for profes- sional men, lawyers and polit icians. Can't the people find a farmer whom they can trust, one who has the ability to represent them creditablyP We think SD. and take the liberty to name Hon. l.. r. Featherstone as the man. He is solid democrat of the Jefferson stamp. q farmer, a man of ability, an educated and thoroughly practical business man. Let us have Feather stone.-Linch Pin.
 If We are correctly informed Mr. Featherstone is tirst-elass lawyer and one Of the best politicians ia the state. Randolph Herald.
 1ES, 1t is time farmer should go, and we do not hesitate to say that Featherston is the man. It is true We are switched off into another district, but still we feel an interest in our old one. and our neighbors will not ae- cuse Us of trying to meddle with that which does not concern Us when We pronounce in favor of Featherst0ne for congress. ss.-DeWilt Reporter.

Suppose a Case.

X man makes an assertion and fol- iows it up with proof and argument that which has caused him to believe firmly that his assertion is correct. Another man who hears the assertion and is pretty well posted on the sub. ject convinces the first party by un- doubted proof that he the hrstl is in the wrong, and should acknowledge it. Would it be honorable for the first to persist in his assertions2 We think not. We believe that man who willingly acknowledges his mistakes (wben it is clear that he has made q mlstake) is man to be trusted. We are sure fl is no crime, but rather q virtue of which one may well feel proud
