For months and years, aud may be more;
Linen napkins quito store;

Good enough for dad and me.

Laid aside for dad aud Jeems.

and lean and bouy too.

Dad he shines up his old shoes
And makes us think he's rich as Jews;
And mann puts on her nice new gown,
And combs her hair all up and down
And makes IL look so nice and slick,
jiug, IL nearly makes mo sick
To sec my dad and mann tryin'
TO put on style and seem so fine,
When all the time know, you see,
It's cause the preachers come to tea.
When the preacher comes to tea,
My pa and ma most pious be,
They look as happy, meek aud mild
And innocent as any child;
But know soon rs the preachers gone
Another face they'll put on,
And dad he'll cuss and mann will scold.

But just the same for gentle Jeems,

Better would IL be for me

It is better TO have the reputation
Of paying your honest debts than
Of being leader IN society. All

who, for the sake Of little display,
is hunted day and night by credit
ors, who almost fears To walk the
streets or look at people, Is pltiable.
There must be an end for him. and
a bitter one. Character is worth
more than clothes, and indepond.

not cut as great a swell and attract
as great attention, but 10 will last
longer and BRING much richer ro-

Of the happy couple, but a Salt Lake

groom was John Pill. When the
justice reached that part Of the
ceremony where the bride agrees TO
take the groom for better or worse,
instead Of tho usual formula, he
said: "ClaTa, do YOU take this
Pip" to which the bride was
heard to respond, Yes" almost

SHEEP VS. REPUBLICAN POLITICS.


The table just made up by the
Auditor of State shows falling
off in the number of sheep in Ohio
during the past year of 545, 900.
Washington county fell off 4,49I.
Free wool is such "blessing" to
the farmers, you know.--[State
Journal.
The above is a fair sample of the
rot being published by Republican
papere to try and bolster up a lost
cause and to people who do not
think and ndlnvestIgate for themselves,
such stuff is misleading. The State
Journal could explain the above
easy enough if it saw fit to do so.
The plain fact of the matter is, that
the people of Ohio were led astray
and oasely deceived by the calamity
howl and lying statements of the
desperate Republican press and
politicians who made them believe
that with wool on the free list sheen
conld not be given away and would
be worse drug on the market than
horses. They kept this up SO per-
sistently and desperately that lots
of the farmers were led to believe
1t would never pay again to raise
sheep and the business was ruined
forever and the sooner they got
shut of them the better. SO they
made haste to sell, slaughter and
dispose Of them in any way they
could. Any intelligent farmer or
stockman, who Is posted on the
business, knows that it pays to raise
sheep and fatten and sell early
lambs for the fall market without
any regard for the wool whatever.
When well managed the sale of the
lambs alone pays better than any
othor stock that can be raised in
this country, not counting The wool
for anything. We know what we
are talking about for we have been
in the business ourself and the
Ohio farmers, as well as others,
ought to have known this, but the
State being overwhelmingly Re
publican, was deceived by the false
cry Of demagogues and a partisan
press, who made them believe that
the Wilson bill would ruin the
country aud wipe all the sheep off
the face of the earth. We Just re-
turned last week from a trip through
Ohio and a very pleasant visit
among the farmers Of the north
central part Of the State and we
never found people anywhere in
better condition and less effected
by the cry OF "bard times." In
this county sheep are IN better de.
mand than they have been for
years, and in fact very few for sale.
Every day or two we hear of some
one running around trying to buy
sheep and unable to do so. Some
Of the strongest Republicans in The
county, have been riding around
tho country buying up sheep right
along without stopping to see what
the result Of the Wilson bill would
be. Last fall whcn every Repub-
lican was wound up with the calam
ity howl that the Democrats were
running the country and even talked
it in their sleep and whispered it
under their breath at church and
shouted it aloud at every oppor-
tunity, 10 was funny to see some Of
them running around tho country
wailing about the Wilson bill wip-
ing sheep OF the face Of the earth
and in the next breath inquiring
whore there we're any for sale. We
eau name some Of them right close
home.

LEADER OF THE OHIO DEMOCRACY

The above is good picture Of
the head of the Democratic State
ticket in Ohio. He was nominated
for Governor at the convention re-
Gently held in Springfield, and will
make a gallant race, although there
is not much snow for his election
this time. His Republican oppo.
nent, Gen. Asa Bushnell, of Spring
field, is popular aud good man,
and as Ohio is naturally q Repub-
lican State, his election is to be ex-
pocted. Campbell was named
against his earnest protest, but
like q good Democrat. he su omitted
to the unanimous wish of his party
and will lead the fight and hustle
che RAIDS pretty lively, anyhow.
The war cry will be, "Tho Camp
bells are Coming" and tie Repub.
licans will have no picnic keeping
out Of their way. This makes the
third race for Governor made by
Campbell, and it may be the charm.
The first timo ho ran against For
aker and laid him out and served
one term as Governor. Next time
Mckinley beat him, and now he is
leading the fight once more.
