County Official Paper
CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION

Yesterdays Silver State contains an
editorial on the subject OF the coming
@ Constitutional Convention which
closes as follows: !
"We take it, therefore, that the con-
vention will be authorized, and this
brings US to the suggestion of single
detail Of the bill. The conventions
should call in council the best brains
Of the State, irrespective OF party.
Men should DO brought together who
are familiar with the old constitution,
and who understand the reforms
needed in our State and county sys-
tens. It will be On occasion calling
for practical, rather than theoretical
ability. There should not be too many
lawyers and the convention should be
composed largely Of men who know
all about State and county affairs.
To this end overy citizen should be
made eligible by the bill to 60 as q

be bar. If there be a County Com
missioner, or any other officer, who is
especially qualified by reason Of his
superior knowledge of county bust
ness, let him be eligible to give the
convention the benefit of that know
ledge as one of its members. The
conyention, if il deliberate in con.
sentative and patriotic spirit and
sound economy, will be productive OF
great and lasting good to our State,
but if it incorporate in the new or.
ganic act provisions to help special
interest ut the expense Of the masses
and to promote jobbery aud trickery
by future legislatures, it will have its
trouble for it's pains. The new con-
stitution must go again to the people
for their approval and unless it be
honest Ind fair and makes way for a
radical reduction of expenses, the peo-
pie will knock it higher than kite"

An lnsidisus Disease which Destroys it,

Nervousness, or nervous weakness, is
disease Of comparatively modern growth.
It loves q brilliant mark, and the best and

which bring it on--overwork, worry, inn
proper food, exposure, over-indulgencc in
alcoholic beverages or tobacco, and excess
es Of different kinds.
Nothing presents more pitiable sight
than person suffering from serious ner-
vous prostration. The mind becomes weak
and forgetful; the patient cannot sleep,
and there are terrible pains in the head.
Feelings of dependency or depression are
ever present; there is restlessness Of the
eyes, and Discrimination to meet people:
the features become pale, careworn, and
haggard; the muscles weak and fiabby,
and there is general sense Of being unfit
for anything.
Some of our most distinguished people
have trod this awful road which ends in

LINCOLN'S MELANCHOLY.
His Sympathetic Nature and His Ear
Mil fortunes.

His Sympathetic Nature and His Early
MisfOrtunes.
Those who saw much of Abraham Lincoln
during the later years Of his life, were greatly
Impressed with the expression OF profound
melancholy his face ALWAYS wore In repose.
Mr.. Lincoln was of peculiarly sympathetic
and kindly nature. These strong character.
istics Influenced, very happily, as 1t proved,
his entire political career. They would not
seem, at first glance, to be efficient aids to
political success; but In the peculiar emer.
pency which Lincoln, I'm the providence of
God. was called to meet. no vessel Of common
clay could possibly have become the "ch osen
of the Lord"
Those acquainted with him from boybood
knew that early griefs tinged bis whole life
with sadness. His partner in the grocery
business at Salem, was Uncle" Billy Green,
of Talula, Ill.,, who used at night, when the
customers were few, to hold the grammar
while Lincoln recited his lessons.
1t was TO his sympathetic ear Lincoln told
the story of his love for sweet Ann Rutledge:
and he, In return, offered what comfort he
could when poor Ann died, and Lincon's
great heart nearly broke.
"After Ann died" says "Uneler Billy, con
stormy nights, wi hen the wind blew the rain
against the roof, Abe would set thar in the
grocery. his elbows on his knees. bis face In
his hands. and the tears runnin' through his
fingers, hated to see him feel bad, an, I'd
saw, Abe. don't cry; an he'd look up an
saw j can't help it, Bill, the rains fallin'
on her."
There are many who can sympathize with
this overpowering grief. as they think of a
lost loved one. when '.tbe rains faIliu' on |
her. What adds poignancy to the grief
some times Is the thought that the lost one |
might have been saved.

The specks are curdy masses which are
caused by allowing. the cream to stand 80

may be removed by washing the granular
