Your correspondent has been suffering
with severe cold, sore throat and breast for
Two days and is unable to do Justice TO the

attempts to get a correspondent to take our
pace ana Keep cur section represented in
me Puoiic prictS So we publicly nominate
our old army comrade and friend K. W.
Davis for that work. Bob is n >splenlid
each week if he takes the work in hand
Let hear from you friend Bob.
The election OF last week throurhout tbe
country was n surnri.c TO some, and 81 told
you So TO others. But the die is cast now
ana we hope our Ecop'e-aud especially our
reprcscntatives-w will g. TO work and prepare
themselves fer the approaching session AMI
give us las far a possioe,) laws under
which nll classes and conditions of people A.
well as interests AID industries can get along
