AT HALSEY.

A large assembly greeted the candidates
at Halsey Friday. Music was furnished
by the Halsey and Charlottesville Bands
for the occasion. The discussion was open
ed by speech from Corporal Tanner in
the first part of the day. Then ID. r. N.
Blackburn made lengthy speech. Mr..
Goodman represented the Prohibition
party. lie was followed by Judge Whitney
who shows by his position that he is the
Judge Linn county wants, his administra-
tion being characterized by economy and
good judgment. w w Richardson was
next on the list. He wanted to know il
they people of Linn county did not want
him 10 represent them in the next Legisla
ture to elect a Republican u. S. Senator
Mr. Taylor, the prohibitionist was next,
and he asked the same question in refer
ecne to the prohibition party. Mr. Jeff
Meyers followed and asked how 1t would
do to elect Democrat who would vote for
Democratic u. S. Senator. Col Irisn
here apperred, when all eyes turned on
him. He handled the tariff question in a
mastery manner, and completely annihi-
lated Corporal Tanners remarks made
during the forenoon. The meeting was
probably the most successful yet held.

form must be in the beginning, and
where is the beginning save in the FAM
lily? When the man is just to the wo-
man he has sworn to love and protect,
think you he will Cypress the young
girl in his employ? He would
rather do her more than justice. for he
has his own at home, and none may
say when they too will be seeking
position. Then, too, having first done
justly at home, he will know what is
right through the knowledge gained
there, for we do wrong through igno-
rance or want of thought. rather than
intention. If / did not believe this
what would be the use of attempting to
draw attention to the facts above. If
the spirit of man is naturally impure,
then God is impure. for did he not
breathe into man the breath of life,
therefore if We are corrupt there can
be no purity, for from corrupt stream
impurity is impossible. Will you
charge God with impurity? May we
first be just to Colour Father. then
just to ourselves and families, then we
will be just to man, our brother, and
woman, our sister.-Institia, in The

How to Choose a Husband.

Don't be afraid to marry poor nun; but
be sure that he has something beside pow
erty to commend him Be sure that he
has two strong hands, not only skilloal
but ready for hard work. Be sure that nc
has an occupation or position, which may
reasonably be depended upon to yield
good. comfortable living. Be sure that he
is Industrious, and not self-indulgent; be
sure that he is steady, working six days in
the week and about fifty-two weeks in the
year. A good. true, faithful young wom-
an ought to have no Eyes" for answer to
a proposal Of marriage from lazy man o,
a man who has no fixed occupation, or
man who has lived half his life of the
hard earnings of his mother or sister,
going about the streets meanwhile with
his cane and his cigarette and his fine
clothes, playing the splendid gentleman.
The girl who will marry such a creature
is one of the silliest beings on the earth.
He will never be any comfort to her. He
will only drag her down into wretched
poverty, and into helpless, hopeless de-
pendence, in which she can no longer care
for herself Let no self-respecting young
woman ever put her head into such a
halter as that for the sake of having hus
band If she does, the time will come when
she will wish she had no husband-J. X.
