A Man in Trouble.

Last week we were over in Marion twp,
when about two miles south of Hamler we
met quite an elderly man who hailed us
right at the cross roads. He said he was
just on his way to Napoleon; that he was 60
ing to paint his house and barn, and that he
had great trouble in finding out or rather
determining what kind of paint was the best
and cheapest and where he could buy to the
best advantage. He said he saw man over
in Hamler few days ago who told him to
go to Saur & Balsley's drug and paint store,
that he would find the John W. Masury Rail-
road paints there, which he thought were the
very best he could get. We told that the
man had told him right, that there was no
better paint made than Masury's Railroad
paints, that we had used them on our own
buildings for good many years, that they
not only looked we'll and lasted well, but
that they were without doubt the cheapest
paints in the marketes to-day, all things
considered.

TUESDAY, NOV. 3.

The present political campaign is
nearing its end, only few days re-
naming for active work. We would
therefore earnestly impress upon the
Democracy of the county the import
ance of thorough and immediate work
from now until the sun goes down.
on the Sd day of November. The
Democratic ticket from top to bottom
is worthy of your support and justly
entitled to your votes. If you do
your whole duty the result will be a
grand victory. See that the entire
vote is polled on election day, and
make every provision necessary to Sc
cure that end. Much of this work will
fall upon the committeeman in the
different precincts, and if they do
their duty by performing their work
energetically promptly and intelIi-
gently, the result will not only be
gratifying to the Democracy of the
county, bat will entitle them to the
honor of having filed their positions
with honor and to the satisfaction of
all concerned. Go to work at once, as
but few more days remain IN which
to work, In the present contest every
working Democrat must be vigilant,
aggressive and industrious from now
until the close of the polls. Go to
work in earnest. DON'T LEAVE A
VOTE AT HOME

ON NEUTRAL GROUND.
Ray Burke Safely Across the De-
'trOit River.
He is Released on a Writ Of HabeaS
Corpus and Taking Time by
the FOrelOCk, SkipS.

Ray Burke, the Holgate would -be-mur-
derer and suicide is safely beyond the reach
of Henry county officials.
Some days since, having recovered from
the attack he made upon himself, he was ar
raigned before J. Townsend, of Holgate. on
a charge of shooting with attempt to kill
and bound over to await the action of the
grand jury.
A mittimus was given our Sheriff and the
young criminal safely housed in Jail.
Now comes his attorneys and, procuring a
habeas corpus writ on the ground that the
Mayor neglected to state in the mittimus
that the crime was committed in Henry
county, the prisoner was released.
No sooner is his freedom gained than he
is rapidly driven to Jacksonville, Mich,
and from there is transported quickly to
Canada, where he has secured labor.
Mr.. and Mrs. Burke are unwilling to
prosecute, and as the crime was committed
against no one save them, it is we'll that the
affair has ended as it has.

Attention, Voters.

Attention is called TO the probability
that mark upon ballot with red,
blue or violet indelible pencil, such as
many men carry, will raise a question
as TO the validity of the ballot. The
law says that the ballot must be mark
ed with black pencil or ink. lfyou
want to vote mixed ticket, the safest
way is to make a crOss-mark to the
left of every mau you want TO vote for,
leaving the names you don't want to
vote for blank. Don't scratch out any
name or mark any other mark but the
cross-mark. The crOss-mark is what
counts. There is one feature OF the
ballot that will require careful atten-
ton at the hands of the judges ofelec-
ton so that tickets where it is possible
to determine the intention of the voter
(although not marked exactly in the
proper manner) may not be thrown
out. The law says: mo ballot shall
be rejected for any technical error,
which does not make it impossible to
to determine the voters choice"

Look Out for ROOrbacks

We would warn our good Democrat
ic friends to be OH the lookout for Re-
publican ROorbacks just upon the eve
of election. This is an old Republican
trick, and In this enlightened age has
little effect, but to be sure that no
Democrat may be duped, we sound the
alarm. The Signal, which commenced
to itch last week for it's usual coat of
slush and mud, we are reliably told by
a good honest Republican friend, will
be filled with such Roorbacks this
week. You are on the right track if
you denounce whatever it may say as
