in greater numbers than at a
date so early rs July 9th, and az
for the Congressional primary
the 23rd day of August wa 20
far of i. is quite likely that the
district convention will come of

Besides this il Is only fair to
all the candidates for Congress
that Lafayette county should
decide within a reasonable time,
especially 10 our home candi
dates as il is not TO be expected
that any other counties will help
them out unless their own coun-
'ty is willing to do so.
Not to bring the county here
to a choice is Al fatal as to de-
eide squarely against them.

The Country Paper in the City

Il would do the hearts of
country editors good to ride up
town on the elevated cars IN the
afternoon Of Friday and Sstur-
day on any week in the year.
Tn these two days q great many
business men give only a hasty
glance at the evening papers aud
then Immediately draw from the
pocket a copy ola paper that is
in marked contrast to the city
paper, so far as type and gene
raj appearance goes. The type
is invariably larger and the dis
plays of advertisements and
headings to news articles com
monty cosrser. The ink is not
always spread evenly over the
page. Nevertheless, the bust.
ness man opens the paper to the
page devoted to village news
and reads every line there. AT.
ter that he not infrequently
reads the village advertisements
aud gives . briof look at the edi-
t0rials. The city man used to
live in the village where that
paper was printed, and he rec.
ognizes the names of people
there as old acquaintances and
commonly old frisnds- The vii.

No better evidence of the
fairness and a desire to do the
right thing by his opponents
than was exhibited last Satur-
-day by this gentleman before
The Executive Committee. He
stssed to the committee that
while DsSsio, Tate and Pamela
counties thought enough OF
their candidate for Congress to
hold prompt and carly conven-
tions or prim .ries without ref
crencs TO the interests of out
sider.. and while any delay IN
Lafayette was an injury TO both
candidates from lafayette coan
ty, yet for the sake of harmony
and well considered public
thought he was willing TO har-
monize on any reasonable time
And although be preferred an
earlier time yet he accepted the
suggestion OF one OF his oppo-
nents and agreed on the 10th
day of July as being satisfacto-
ry to all. This disposition and
action is in keeping with Mr..
Howry's reputation for fair and
honorable dealing. No one can
truthfully say that he would
take an advantage by ways not
recognized as proper IN any
thing. And herein lies his
strength with the people of La
Fsystte county. They believe
he will do whatever he promises
TO do. Not only THIS They
know he has ability Of the high
est kind.
Whatever he il he has made
his own career, He will yet
make n higher name among us
lie will be a devoted public ser
want. lie is incoIruptible and
he will De true to the people and
their cause. He will 10y his
great will power, energy and
ability attain high rank in any
thing he undertakes. In all the
names yet suggested for Con-
gress We believe he is better in
formed on the public question s
than any of his opponents. 1t
is gratifying to US to know that
Lafayette county will give him
a large majority as We believe,
and that he will 60 into the
Convention with the good will
