Although we are m the MIDST OF z
Presidential Campaign aud have eau
didate for sheriff, it is impossible To see
with the naked eye that the country IS
going to the everlasting bow-wo"s on
account of the Mckinley Bill. When a
farmer brings in dozen eggs and gets
more than he ever did before at this
time of the year. then buys more sugar
with the money than he could under
the old Mills Bill, he fails to see where
the tariff is a tax and chuckles when he
reads the old chestnuts in the Demo
cratic papers in regard to tariff, tax
etc. The Proof of the Pudding
is chewing the Stick
and the Mckinley Bill has
proved a glorious thing for this
country, and the intelligent people Of
Cassyilie, Democrats and Republicans,
are satisfied that the Mckinley Bill and
Reciprocity have been great and good
measures.
We hear that our old friend Ritner
Stephens has been nominated for Con
gress on the Peoples ticket. Hurrah
tor Rit. We hope he will get there, he
will stir up the skylocks on some ques-
tions and make few laws that will be
record breakers.
A couple of weeks ago there was a

result was about 40 for and 90 against
the tax
Lawyer Harry Brown visited Cass-
vile on business Saturday, and passed
a few hours on the river tied to snag
catching bass. lie caught fine string
but an envous angler who couldn't
get a bite left the string where the

believe any aud all yarns be chosrs to
tell as to size, number, condition. ete.

Our Town Board moves in the right
direction every year. They macada-
mzed a piece Of road this year, 1t Il
the Pierce bin. Ii don't cost great
deal to fix place or two every year,
and in few years the clay hills all
over the town Will all be good in the
muddiest weather Few people realize
how much is lost every year in time.
wear of vehicles. harness and horses,
on our bad roads There is one place
between Lancaster and Cassville where
there is a gulf of mud nearly the entire
year The horses injured and harness
es strained would pay for gravellirg il
in good shape ss there are millions Of
loards OF gravel right at the side t the
road refer to the road from Laneas-
ter's hin to Porter's Bridge The
present road laws are probably the
worst that can be thought OF. Why
not make the candidates for assembly
pledge themselves TO work for batter
one. Ii is a question if there has been
$500 worth Of honest, intelligent work
been done on the road from Cassville
to Lancaster since last fall, and the
road in that time has not been really
passabe day in that time and has
cost the tax payers hundreds of dollars
wasted. absolutely wasted.
