What People Are Talking About These
Times,
We agree with the Bloomsbury Daily
that it is really surprising when one learns
what large number of our town people
patronize peddlers and instalment men
They even buy groceries of these peddlers
thinking they are getting them cheaper
than our home merchants sell at, but in
this they are mistaken for nine times out O.
ten the peddlers handle nothing but an
Inferior quality OF goods. Patroniza
home.
The delegates to the State Camp, Sons OF
America, from town, are all home again
and they are kept busy explaining whal
has been accomplished this year. No re
quest was made to have the State Camp
meet here next year, so it went elsewhere
There was no complaint of scarcity Of
water in Shenandoah this year and thi:
speaks we'll for the resources OF the old
company, when all the towns in the county
suffered during the late drouth.
Some one has said that Shenandoah hal
not the accommodations for the meeting o
large body, like the Sons of America, fol
instance. This is mistake, and that ha
been demonstrated a number of times.
A special officer of the Pension Depart
ment was here on Thursday looking aftei
some crookedness. The party he wa
looking for had moved to some other town
We understand there is a great deal of thi
kind of work going on in town and county
and it is only question Of time when al
will be found out.

POLITICAL POINTS.


Local, County, State and National Themes
Considered.
Brumm is getting In his work. He has
a united party al his back this year and
ought to win.
David Martin, of Pbi.ad lphia, Senator
Qusys friend, is installed at Republican
headquarters in New York City as as
sstant to Chairman Carter, and ex-senator
Plstt mas been a visitor at the headquarters.
This does not look much like the suking'
in hich il has been so freely predicted,
these ex perienced politicians would con-
tinue to indulge. In the Republican ranks
just now harmony is spelled with big Il.
Candidate Lessig, for Director of the
Poor, has been doing some effective cam
psigning already. He is going to get there
with both feet.
A great deal Of clerical work is being
done at the Repu blican county hesdqusr-
Lers and in few days all the preliminary
arrangements for hot and effective cam
paign will he completed.
Squire Coyle, Republican candidate for
the Legislature is hard worker and our
prediction is that he will have the largest
majority of any person ever elected TO the
Legislature from this district.
j. H. james, Esq, expects to beat his
record of former campaign when he de-
feated P. NJ. Dunn for the District At
torneyship. Harry is hustler and isn't
leaving the grass grow under his feet he
makes new friends wherever he goes-old
ones he has plenty.
1t is predicted that, under the new ballot
law the vote in this county will fall short
between l,000 and 1000.
Senator Keefer has no fear of defeat this
year. His friends of the past will stick as
close to him as before.

b'r of Republican and Democratic citizens
before them, who occupied considerable
time in making speeches, presenting fig.
ures and explaining maps.
Squire Monaghan and M, 2. Whitaker
we're spokesmen for the Democrats If the
facts were just as they presented them the
viewers would have had very little trouble
in deciding upon a report at once, but
when some of the Republicans asked
questions regarding the correctness of the
Democratic maps and figures there was an
uproar and the viewers had difficulty in
maintaining order. Some of the Demo-
Gratis wanted to make afidavits, others
wanted to bet, and not few seemed de.
sirous of 'scrapping it out" But there
was no blood shed. One thing is certain
the sense of justice which seems to fit the
Democratic side of the house is not, for
tunately for the country, what is strictly in
accordance with equity. The Democratic
idea of justice seems to be this: "Here
are our maps and figures. They are cor
rect. The Republican statements sre false.
Accept ours, or fight"
The viewers listened to the statements Of
all sides patiently and then took all paper:
and maps. There will be no more hear
ings until after the viewers report the mat
ter to the court.
