Before the election Messrs. Andrew Esen-
huth and George P. Wentz, the former a
Democrat, the latter Republican, contracted
that whichever President is elected the man
on the defeated side must wheel the victorious
man through Melrose on barrow. On Sat
urday the wager was paid, but it almost tired
out the Republican to manipulate the barrow
with a inblant hurrahing Democrat on
it. He was to bring him back, but did not.
The wheelbarrow came back with a Republi
eau boy on it, and two enthusiastic cheering
Democratic boys manipulating 1t.

luck They took the ~ train for wedding

Keep Your Farm and Your Farm
Will Keep You.

One business is as much as any man
can attend to proftably, and there is no
other kind of business that requires sole
care and attention so much as farm. No
farmer can succeed who does not make
the farm his lifework, and, forsaking all
others, keep only to this, with determin
alton to succeed. Moreover, 1t is the
special farmer who is the most successful;
he who chooses some one particular kind
of work or product, and, keeping closely
to it, makes it subject of study and is
always improving his methods and in
creasing his income from it. \ business
is of slow growth No one can be built
up in a year and have a solid foundation /;
and farmers business is Of as slow Il
growth as one of his apple trees. He
must plant in hope, cultivate with perse-
verenee, water with industry, fertilize by
intelligence, and the increase will be album
dant, whatever branch Of agriculture he
may choose. But the rolling stone gath
ers no moss, and precisely the farmer VIII"
is ever changing will never succeed

what four more years of Republican rule

The parades have all been large, with blaz-

noticed transparencies, and the line of march
was enlvened with brass bands and drum
corps.
The parade and illumination last Tuesday
night will be long remembered by the citi-
zens of New Windsor as highly successful
affair. Notwithstanding the hard wind and
rainstorm of the afternoon and evening, the
ardor of the 'unterrihed'i was not in the least
dampened and the greatest enthusiasm and
good humor prevailed. Promtly at o'clock
the line was formed at the depot and headed by
the Warlields5urg Brass Band, marched gaily
through the muddy streets, marshalled by A.

almost incredible, but it is certain that the
destruction of sheep by dogs in the whole
country involves an enormous loss Mary
