inches of rain fell. The storm did not

WAYNE TOWNSHIP.

The continuous rains is making it very
difficult for farmers to get corn worked
as it should be- Wheat crop good; oats
very promising; meadows that looked
awhile back not worth cutting, now
looking well; apple crop very light; small
er fruits medium; potatoes excellent;
wool all sold price, 49, sc.
Democrats here "on the corner" are
very much concerned lest they lose the
postoffice. This office is profitable to its
holder, as it pays about $50 per year.
Hurrah for Foraker, And now, Mr..
Editor, in view of the campaign, with all
its contingencies, would it be out of place
to suggest the propriety of townships
and precincts where two or more candi-
dates are looking for the same county
office, that they as early as possible ad-
just this matter, so that fut one candi
date be preSented-nOt leaving it for the
primaries, which is not always the BEST
Now. in view of the close proximity of
primaries and convention, would it not
be better that candidate be certain of
his candidacy for longer period of time
than four or five days before the cOnven-
ton? 1t often happens that adjustments
of this kind, involving this same princi-
pie, places the retiring candidate in
very favorable position for the future.
In order to succeed, we cannot afford to
make any mistakes, as they sometimes
are fatal.
Mistakes always mean failure; as you
remember when our Democratic friends
made the mistake last year and undertook
to lead, how badly they failed. They were
never born to be leaders. They are now
living up to their fullest capacity in this.
Waiting for Republicans to lead in pri
maries, in convention, in everything that
pertains to political campaign, they have,
it would seem, learned at last their in
capacity to lead.
We think the southwest part of the
county entitled to Commissioner, and
hence Wayne offers the name of Lee
Evans and Somerset the name of J. w.
Cater. No mistake will be made in the
nomination of either of these men. Both
sound.
We close by saying hurrah for the man
that, with priming dry, always shoots off
hand and always drives the center; always
first and always right! OBSERVER.

LAND APPRAISERS

The election of real estate appraisers is

nominations will be made at the primar-

to that the matter should be carefully
canvassed by Republicans, to the end that
good and fit men shall be put in nomina-

This is matter of great Importance,
deserving the immediate attention of the
people of all the election precincts of the
County.
