WOMAN SUFFRAGE.
The South VIII BE Ready In ISD6

The South VIII BE Ready IN 1906 to
Adopt 1t.
There are some who seem disposed to
make light of Senator Hemphills pro-
posed amendment to the constitution
allowing women to vote in this state
but he is right, and we commend him
for bringing the matter to the front.
He may be early-as woman suffrage
looks long way off in South Carolina
but it is bound to come and may come
sooner than we think. as we canuot al
ways sometimes tell how rapid the
growth of public sentiment will be on
any given question of essential reform.
Since the beginning of civilization, we
might say of the world, there has been
no reform movement for the betterment
of the condition of mankind but what
women have occupied a prominent place
In it Whether it be religious, moral
or political she is always there and al
ways on the side of light and of progress,
and to her quiet endurance and heroic
devotion to principle Christian civiliza-
ton owes the position it occupies in the
world to-day. Our country is now in
the throes of an evolution struggling
towards higher and diviner civiliza-
ton, and, DIS usual, the women of the
land are in the vanguard, nobly bat
tling for the oppressed and contending
for the rights of the masses against the
classes. The alliance advocates these
progressive principles, and the women
have taken our organization as their
field and in the states that have given
them the opportunity they have mate
rally aided in placing those principles
in power. The cause of the people is
bound to triumph, but the day of victory
will be fastened by obtaining the help
of the women at the ballot box-Co-

THE WOMAN WHO EATS.
She OutrivaIs the Anaconda on His Best
Days.


Days.
Have you ever seen her-the woman
who eats? unkindly asks the Philadel-
phia Times. If not you should, for
outside of a museum nothing SO remark
able ever was seen.
She generally lives at hotel run on
the American plan, and evidently feels
in duty bound to take everything on
the bill of fare in order to get her
moneys worth.
1t never occurs to her to skip one SIN
gle thing, yet every meal she studies
the menu with an interest as absorbing
as though she were only to be allowed
one portion, and that one she was de-
termined to have the best.
When this exhaustive survey is fin
ished, she leans back in her chair, looks
up at the waiter in attendance with a
coy, sweet smile, and says: 81 will COM
mence with oysters"
It there were anything ahead of
oysters for her to begin on she would
do so, for she is systematic feeder, and
will go on religiously through soup,
fish, entrees, roasts, vegetables, salads
and desserts until the weary waiter con-
fdes to a sympathetic confrere that it is
his private opinion that she is the India
rubber girl.
When at last the finishing sip of coffee
has been swallowed she dips her fingers
in the bowl Of water near at hand,
gathers up what she has not eaten of the
fruit and passes out, leaving the waiter
to wonder at the appetite of a creature
that looks above such mundane peculi-
artties, yet who leaves enough soiled
dishes and crumbs in her wake to es-
tablish forever her reputation as per-
former who would make her mark If an
eating contest were ever arr anged.

described the weather we have erioyed
here the last six months; but We are
now hoping for something better.
The river is rising rapidly or rather
the water in the river is; anyhow it
is high and getting higher. Maby |

are liable to see very high water the

P. Hohenadle and Jno. Klindt & Co.
are building an immense Canning
factory and Picking works, which
they expect to have running in full
blast by the time the present crop is
ready for them. 1t would be hard to
lind TN enterprise that would be of
more benefit to the people of farming
district than this. 1t will give employ
ment to any, who may wish to cultivate
corn or raise cucumbers, within radi-
us of ar 6 miles. The trouble with
good deal of Grant Co., is, the timber
land costs so much to clear up that a
poor man could not buy brush farm
and grub and cultivate enough to make
living. We have brush land selling
from 5 to 10 dollars, and cleared land,
no better, worth 20 to 100 dollars per
acre. This state of affairs the factory
will change by making it possible for
man to make good living off of or
acres.
Cassville has natural advantages that
are excelled by few towns; but there is
something that keeps her asleep. A
ring has been running things its own
way and but little good has emanated
from it, Some say our business men
lack energy and business ability; some
think the territory that is tributary TO
Cassville, that is productive, is too
small; some think it is because the PEG
pie, young and old, don t pull together
il any enterprise. Proba blv all these
contribute, but j. Is q fact that it would
be hard to find a town with as may nat
ural advantages with so many dilapi
dated looking business houses, riekety
fences, dirty front yards, implanted
dwellings, and tumble down out houses,
and general distress of things as can be

for such shiftlessnesS. If the owner of
a ramshackley fence can't afford to
build new one, he could at least re-
move It and Go without. A front yard
looks a great deal better with no fence
than q poor one. Paint is cheap. nails
don cost much, and little work this
spring would give our town more re-
spectacle appearance
There are several new dwellings
being built this spring and talk Of more
during the summer. Grimm Bros. will
build a large store. The one now occu-
pied will be used by H. Kleinpell for
