from the Mt. Hope Mentor.l

The present efficient county commits
sioner for this, the Third district, will
act in that capacity for the coming three
years. We judge by heresay and the
opinions of prominent men in the dis
trlct. Thomas j. Randall came to Kan
sas in 1870 and to this township in 1872.
He took up the land on which he now
lives, and also the quarter section on
which part of Mt. Hope is situated.
Mr.. Randall carries reminders Of the
''late unpleasantness," as he was en-
gagged in several battles, among which
were those of Louisburg, Va. and
Meadow Bluff. He participated in the
Hunter raid and was wounded at Bev-
erly, January II. 1865. 1t was through
unceasing efforts on his part that post
office was established here and the town
Of Mt. Hope was organized. He was
the first postmaster and served i'll that
capacity for thirteen years, when he was
chosen to represent the people In this
commissioner district. So we'll and
faithfully has he discharged his obliga-
tons that the demand for his reelection
is imperative, and to say that he Will be
chosen by more than the Republican
majority in this district, is but stating
what we know and feel to be the truth
and what in justice to the man, should
be done.

TOM RANDALL.
A Good, True, and Faithful Man.

1t seems almost like work of super
arogation to say anything in behalf of the
honesty and uprightness of Thomas q.
Randall, the county commissioner from
the West side, as it would be to announce
that he had made most careful and
wise commissioner. But with pleasure
we reproduce the hearty endorsements
OF two papers published in his district,
to which we desire to respond with a
hearty, earnest amen:
lFrom the Clearwater Snnl
Tom Randall is the man for the voters
Of the Third commissioner district to
support. He has ably represented this
district for the past three years, is an
old resident in the county, has large
property interests here, is a staunch Re-
publican and the regular nominee of the
party. 1t is duty you owe to yourself
as well as to the interests of the district
to vote for him. His opponent may be
all right, but he has never been tried, is
new man and has no property interests
here here that anybody ever heard of,
IN fact he is unknown to one-leEth of
the voters of the district. Work and
vote for Randall.

ing and breakfast free. Roads the worst

the way; nothing but hills Almost
every place | come to has full supply of
tleas; | am getting bit all over. | am
feeling very well; not tired at all. but |
will have to take the train at laurence
Vile to Petersburg as it is impossible to
ride
Aug. 81, 1SS9.-Had to walk 80 miles
to get to Laurenceville: took train from
there to Bellefeld which is hardly any
nearer to Petersburg, but which put me
on Il better road: train fare 60 cents ::
lodging and breakfast 80 cents. Would
have kept on to Petersburg on the old
plank road but found it impossible on
account of the mud.
Aug. %, 1SS9.-Started from Bellefield
to Petersburg to-day; distance ~ miles

o'clock: intended stopping in the coun-
try about 10 miles from here. but could

THE LIGHT OF HOME.

When every star that gems the sky
In darkness hides its silvery ray,
And midnight shadows thickly lie,
Like sable curtains on the way,
One light remains to pierce the gloom,
One ray-it is the Light Of Home.
That light where eer undimmed it shines
Unnumbered blessing shed around;
Where fall its soft and tender lines
There truest happiness is found.
There is no light beneath the dome
So precious as the Light Of Home.
Within its sacred circle blend
The purest virtues, true and strong
Here friends deserve the name Of friend
And love resides, nor fears wrong
And where the heart meets no pain and Ill
That friendly beacon cheers it still.
For one afar its radiance streams,
The proof of Joy and hope and cheer,
And draws him with its welcome beams
To all he holds most priced and dear.
His heart is glad, his eyes grow bright,
If he beholdS its faithful light.
And thus as we, with weary feet,
Lies dark and tangled maZes tread,
Let US take heart, for pure and sweet
There is a light that shines ahead,
That leads us onward while we roam,
To find in Heaven the Light Of Acme.

low prices will rule for these grades
later on in the year, little considera-
ton will point to the contrary. The
crop, in the first place, will yield very
lightly in pounds as compared with
average years, and then it must be re-
membered that cigarette manufactur-
ers had a hard struggle the past year
to meet current demands, and now
that they have crop, the like of which
they may not get for some years again,
they will stock up for the coming year
in short, carry as large a stock as
their finances will possibly permit
and this will in measure be the case
with smoking manufacturers also, and
thus there will be demand created
that will rapidly absorb the crop
(Which is going to market thus early at
an unprecedented rate and at unusu-
ally good prices and insure compe-
titiOn that is bound to obtain for it
good prices Thus Providence seems
to have shaped things for the good of
planters of the East and West.-Cin-

CAUTION IN CURING.
A gentleman, who has wide
knowledge of tobacco and experience
in handling the Virginia and North
Carolina types, which entities him to
give advice to tobacco planters, writes
as follows regarding the curing of this
years crop:
Planters should be cautioned against
letting their tobacco come in and 60
out of case, for of all years this is the
time to watch this point, on account
of the lack of gum, which acts as an
enamel or varnish when once dry, and
thereby prevents it from being acted
on by every change of the weather.
This crop is thin and porus and is in
consequence the most sensitive crop to
moisture We have seen for years. You
have been keen observer of the eff
fects of wet and dry seasons on the
quality and keeping conditions of to-
bacCo for years past, and you must
have observed all wet weather crops
have tendency to run foxy we mean
the fue cured kinds-while the dry
weather crops seem to resist moisture
to a corresponding degree, and hold;
color regardless of rains-at least are
not sensitive to changes and lose color
very stubbornly. So little timely
caution will save the planters of West
Virginia, Virginia and North Carolina
hundreds of thousands of dollars We
would advise all who have sweet wheat
oat or rye straw to cover the floors Of
their tobacco barns to prevent moist
ure from rising from the damp earth
to the hanging tobacco above, and
thereby disColoring it, or what would
be still better, to bulk it in packing
houses with good tight floors, walls
ETC., and covering all with sweet corr
fodder or wheat straw, being sure that
it is in proper order to stand the pres
ent temperature. The most of plant
ers are treating this thin crop just as
they treat average year crops, cut ant
cured late in this month, which are
followed by cool, dry, crisp, frosty
weather, to preserve color; such IS no
the conditions now, and it is we'll tc
repeat the caution to them, as they
will lose by few days neglect the
finest color we have ever had in the
history of the trade Cincinnati To
