per in this part of the state. cut the 18th
notch in its stick last week. This paper
has weathered the blasts for many win
tiers and in times when it was difficult to

Register Lee Monroe, of Wa-Keeney
land Office, has declared that a person

could fashion few new leaders. What
they should particularly avoid is being
caught with musty Democratic bait
