WELCOME BACK.

The Democratic party will read
with pleasure and interest the let
ter Of our old friend Mr.. Wreck
Irving, OF Beat 2, published in an
other part Of this paper, and we
know we speak the unanimous
sentiment of the party when we
say, you are thrice welcomed back
into the fold of Democracy, know
ing that when you left us you acted
from pure motives, believing that
it was for the good of your country.
But when you have seen, as YOU
say in your manly letter, where a
few ambitious offlce-seekers were
lalding you to, You have returned
home not a prodigal but an erring
son. Therefore we again welcome
you bach to the home of your faith
erS.
Mr.. Irving is one of our best cit
liens and every word in his letter
is the truth, and every good man
who quit the Democ~ atic party and
has been ahiliatins WI, h the Popu-
lite party should ponde., we'll over
his words and profit byThem by
returning to the only party that
can and will give relief to \the

doing a work that Will tell on the
society of our town for years to
come. The enrolment of last SEES
sion was 90 per cent over any pre-
vious year, and the opening of this
term suggests great increase this
year over last year.
The faculty of last session met
weekly for professional study and
executive advancement in the re-
spective departments, and we learn
that the work is to continue this
year and in a broader field. Pu-
pills who finish the High School
course and who expect to teach
will be allowed and invited to at
tend and take part with the facul-
ty in their professional work.
This will enable the boys and girls
going out from the school to be
self-sustaining-bcing rich in facts
and methods concerning teaching
and with some experience.
Every member of the faculty for
this year attended the State Nor
NAL at the University the past sum
mer. This gives confidence to the
patrons that every effort is being
madc to promote the school cause
in our town, and eventually give us
one second to none in the State.
The town has a right to feel
proud of the efforts of the faculty
of the public school.

DUTY.

We hope sincerely that all the
Democratic nominees for county
Offices will meet the people at the
places appointed by the chairman
of the Democratic Executive Com
mittee for public speaking, and
work for the ticket as is their duty
to do. The party has given you
the nominations and you should
show your appreciation of the hon
or conferred by making all private
business subservient to the success
of the ticket. No indifference on
the part of any candidate should
be tolerated. Let every man do
his whole duty, and success is as
sured.

h. D. MONEY AT LIBERTY
CHAPEL.

As announced last week, Hon.
Fl. D. Money was promptly on
hand at Liberty Chapel last Satur-
day night, where about two hun
dred people had assembled to hear
the joint debate between him and
w. P. Ratliif, Popu!ite.
From what we can learn the
crowd was nearly equally divided,
the Populites probably being slight
ly in the majority. Col. Money
opened the debate, and discussed
principally the financial question,
of course unfolding the free sill
yer cause in his usual able, forci.
bic and unanswerab,e manner.
Mr. Ratliff, we are informed, in
his reply, attacked the position Of
the Democratic party on the imam
cial question, and charged the
whole party as being unfriendly to
silver. He upheld the Omaha
Populite platform, and advocated
the loaning Of money by the gov
eminent to the people at per
cent interest, and at the end of
four years the government should
cancel the obligations. Was ever
such a wild, ridiculous scheme
heard OF in an enlightened county?
Mr. Money in his rejoinder
showed the utter falacy of such
scheme, and with telling effect
told lus audience that there twas
nothing in the Popniitc party, and

EDITOR STAR:
As you have turned over
your mule to the Pops and gone
afoot begging for subscriptions,
we would like to offer you a few
words OF encouragement.
We see in the Vindicator that

Bro. Pop advise you not to soar
to high lest you fall harder than
you did four years ago; for your
gain is only in negroes not regis
tered and without tax receipts.
Four years ago you polled at
Sails 43, years later AZ; but in
the Democratic primary at least a
dozen pledged themselves to the
Democrats which would leave you
only 80, but still you polled in
the primary IS, which only con
sisted of those poor disfranchised
colored citizens without tax re-
ceipts.
So Mr. Editor you may bet your
boots and socks that Beat 4 will

We all know that thousands Of in
4ustrious farmers and mechanics in
Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, and other
Western States are seeking homes

ing already bought homes in this

those Western people copies of
this issue OF the STAR, showing TIM
great advantages our county pos
scsses, and thereby induce them
to settle among US and thereby
bring about an era of prosperity
that has not been equaled before.

believe that our patrons and the
public generally will appreciate
our efforts to build up our town
