an Ditklt Vi i<dWtOI, III Oiu lOfO
veteran, says he has three sons all of
whom, as well as himself, have been
democrats but they will cast four votes

And SO it goes all over the country.
The oat crop will be simply immense.
The acreage Is large and the yield
promises to be unprecedented. Corn
is also looking very fine. The current
year bids fair To be year of abund-
ance and plenty. Mclean kline this time.
Who is Benjamin M. Harrisons The
Hartford Day Spring flies that name at
the head of its editorial columns as its
candidate for president. We supposed
the Day Spring would support Gen.
Benjamin Harrison, the republican
nominee.
Providence deals very kindly with the
human race. What arrangement could
have been better for our young people
than having the eclipse occur on Sunday
evenings They had TO stay up late you
know, TO watch the projection OF the
shadow. Selah.

Thos. Alexander Of Porter,
Seth Allen, one of our "circular edi-
tors" did not put in an appearance last
week. He said he was busy making
hay and sent a substitute. We suspect,
however, that he was grazing, as his
wife has gone on a visit and Seth is
running in the pasture"
it seems that nearly all the demo
cratic postmasters of the state like
Mackellar of Paw Paw, and Miller of
Bangor, attended the Detroit cOnven-
ton. They went there To show their
love Of civil service reform and their
resplendent non-partisanship.
Harry S. Myers read an able and
interesting paper on the tariff question
club held last Saturday evening. We
like to see boys and young men
interesting themselves in the study of
the great economic questions of the
day.
We saw Mary Jones on the street the
other day and thought she was looking
a little depressed and downhearted.
Inquiry disclosed the fact that she was
another grandmother another ten
pound boy born to her son-in-law,
Harry Howe of Chicago. 1t makes
Mary feel old to be a grandmother so
often.
The Courier runs its marriage licenses
under the head of New Suits Com
menced." Isn't that a little previous
Bert? 1t isn't at all likely that more
than half of the new marriages will be
used rs foundations of "new suits" in
the divorce court and il isn't hardly fair
to the other half to advertise them i'm
that way.
The young people of the Presbyterian

tor, mt salary of 1926 per day At

tending the removal of an old church

Every member of the prohibition
party has sore spot on his heart or
conscience caused by the liquor traffic,
said the speaker who held forth at the
gospel (y) temperance meeting last week
Tuesday afternoon. He forgot to men
ton the large number of his coadiutors
who have joined his party on account
of having sore spots on their heads.
The Courier, without doubt, could
have given more correct report of
the ratification meeting if its editor had
been in town that day instead of being
'up north on his farm. Bert, if you
couldn't come yourself, why didn't you
send Bertieg He could have made a
report that would have been much
nearer the truth than the second hand
one that was dished up TO the readers
of the Courier.
Mrs Ophelia Hawley has i'm her pos
session memento of the campaign of
1910 i'm the shape of letter head bear
ing picture of the traditional log cab
in and the inevitable barrel of hard
cider on its upper right hand corner
and portrait of Gen. VIM. III. Harri-
son on the opposite corner. If the por-
trait is good likeness of the old hero
of 40, his grandson is much the better
looking man of the two.
Leo Warner and Ward Bartram are
two bright little chaps aged respective
ly four and five years; great friends but
they have an occasional "scrap" just as
all boys do. They had little row the
other day and began to twit on facts
What makes you s-s-st-stut-stutter SOY"
said Ward. This touched Leo on a
tender spot and he Indignantly returned,
What m-m-m-makes you tht-tht-thtut
thtut-thtutter so yourselfs" 1t was de-
cidedly funny.
