There is no excuse Tor any party TO
start false reports this year-or any
other year, for that matter--as the
aud the issues are thor.
oughly known and understood by
every voter, and the man or party
who sets a lie aAoat on the eve of
campaign should be politically
"knifed."
We join the many friends Of DR..
and Mrs. S. S. fowler Of Marienville,
in sympathiziug with them in the loss
of one of their little ones, a twin
daughter of nearly four years, notice
of which appears in this issue. AL.

man aid could give, the child lived
but two days after being attacked.

age when it seems hardest to give them

little voice weighs heaviest upon the

The slight rise in the creek and
river enabled some of our lumbermen
and jobbers TO get out the lumber and
timber that had been left from the
spring freshet. Thos. Russell, who
had several timber RATS to run, got
safely started, and Jas. b. Haggerty
cleared up his job, getting started
with two "Alleghenies" of boards.
D. B. Tobey also got out some of bis
timber. The boys have waited pa.
tiently all summer for rise, and they
naturally feel relieved now that they
have got it off their hands.

from the A. o. u. w. lodge at Wash
burn, Wis, to attend their anniversary
ball to be given on the 26th inst, of
which we observe our old townsmap,
DR.. Cohurn, is one of the arrangement
committee. Had they put off the
affair until we got our vote in for
Harrison and Protection, we might
have slipped up and taken it in. But
we wouldn't miss our vote for farm,
and go the boys will have to do without
our presence, and get along the best
they can. Our best thanks, however,
for the kind invitation.
