blest Roman of them ALL"
The New Franklin News
Echo says it has been over thirty
years since the country had a
Democratic President. Surely
Cleveland should send the editor a
calendar covering his service to
date.
The Presidents special
message to Congress on the Vene-
zuelan boundary dispute has been
greeted with applause from one
end of the country to the other.
The message has an American
ring, and its recommendation for
vigorous resistance to English land
grabbing in South America will
meet the approval of the whole
country. England has refused to
arbitrate the dispute, and the Pres
ident suggests that this Govern
ment appoint commission to de-
termine the respective rights Of
Great Britain and Venezuela.
After such report is made and ac-
cepted by Congress, he holds that
it will be the duty of the United
States to resist by every means in
its power any aggression of Great
Britain upon the rights or terri
tory of Venezuela as determined
by the United States.

Recorders Office in both of which
we find the work we'll kept up,
neatly and cleanly done. We be-
lieve from the information we OBJ
tanned that all reports, statements
and settlements required by law,
are made as the law directs and
surplus fees converted into the
Treasury. We also visited the
Office of the Hon. Probate Court
and examined the records of said

mechanical work in the records be-
ing neatly and plainly done, there
are, however, among the records
of this Office a lot of what appears
to be important papers, the ac-
cumulation of years, thxt in our
opinion ihould be Strengthened up,
relettered and re-enveloped. In

in healthy, prosperous condition.
