Our efficient county sheriff attends tt
the duties of his Office in such manner
as to command the respect of all. While
he is terror to evil doors, he makes
them feel that the well being of the
county demands their detention, that the
law is just and should be executed. A
more kind and affable gentleman cannot
be found; yet in the performance of his
duties he knows no fear This is our
idea of county off1cer-a man that COM
mands the respect of his fellows by gen.
tlemanly generous actions, and has a
care to creditably represent his constit-
uency at home and abroad. The officers
of county are an index to the charact-
er of the county they represent.

have the truant candidates come whin-

beat you if we can, even though you re-
ceive the nomination of the party" Yet

So few farmers have settled down with

They want to see how they are going to
like it before they plant hedge or grove
and ornament their yards, or break out
much land. This unsettled condition OF
things is the curse of this country and
the cause of failure. They fail because
they expect to fail. When our people

SKEPTICIsM. By reason of the state of
chronic incredulity in which many men
pass their lives they miss half the good
of this world. They seem to think that
doubt and unbelief are proofs of wisdom,
and through fear of being deceived, re-
ject much that is true and good. To such
minds the statement that DR.. Pierce
Golden Medical Discovery is real and
proven cure for all diseases caused by
torpid liver, bad blood or scrOfulous hu-
mOrs carries it with its own condemna-
ton. They do not believe it, apparently.
because we say so; and yet what more, or
less, than this can we do? We know the
facts, and If we do not make public the
great value of this remedy, few would
profit by it. We try to do our duty in
the matter and it remains for the doubter
who needs help to overcome his prejudice
and give it trial.
