We SPENT a week preparing an

THE BARTON COUNTY DEMOCRAT
Aegobes two columns of it's editorial
Daee to sacred songs and scriptural
pnssages. Brother Stoke has adopted
this method Of showing recreant demo
c1ats in his county the error of their
vays and turning them back to pure
dndefiled democracy.-Kendall Boomer.

prosperous community.

way, that jOllifcation Wednesday even
