Plain John Smith.

Plain John Smith is not very high
sounding; 1T does not suggest aristoc-
racy it is not the name of any hero
in die-away novels; yet it is good and
honest.
Transferred to any other language
1T seems to climb the ladder of STYLE.
Thus in Latin it is Johannus
Smlthus; the Italian smoothes it of
into Giovanni Smith; the Spaniards
render it Juan Smithus; the Dutch
man adopts it as Hans Schmidt: the
French flatten it out into Jeen Sheets
the Russian turns it into Jonlof]
Smitowski; at Canton John Smith be-
comes Jabon Shimmitt.
The Icelanders say he is Jaime
Smithson; among the Tuscaroras he
becomes Tom Gu Smittia; in Poland
he is known as Ivan Schmittiweiski
among the Welsh mountains they call
him Jihon Schmidt; at Mexico his
name is written Jontii F'Smitri; in
Greece he turns to Ion Sinikton.
And in Turkey he is almost dis
guised as Yoe Sect.

In ChehaIis County.
CHEHALIs Co. Nov. II, 1895.

CHEHALIS CO. Nov. Ii, 1870.
Ed JOURNAL The political situa-
ton in Chehalis County is about as
usual; hope they are still o. X. in Ma
son. Our people seem to be in a
brownies, dark brown study about
our condition. Instead of the usual
interest being taken in our friends,
Rep. Dem. and Pop, it seems to be
about the "limit of Indebtedness" we
reached two or three years ago; tax
levy for this or that fund so much,
collected so much, disbursed so much,
ball hope some one will find out.
Yes, we are in pretty queer shape-no
money for jurymen, witnesses, or other
claimants, but "tin or no tim" jurors
and witnesses will have to serve if
Uncle S. says so.
A man living at or near MontesanO
(think his name is Mullen) wanted his
pay for witness, juror or something
and applied for mandate or mandamus
to auditor to issue warrant; think the
order was granted? Auditor replied,
"no funds" but it is said Mullen will
appeal and try to prove the tax levy
for court expenses collected each year,
since the limit of Indebtedness was
reached has exceeded the amount of
disbursements therefore it looks as
though the money has gone into other
funds, and Jurors must wait, for the
present. Thus justice is hampered by
delaying litigation, because there is no
funds to pay new juries, although I un-
derstand one will shortly be called.
And we are short in several other di-
rectiOns
I haven't heard OF anyone trying to
answer those questions propounded in
the Cosmopolis Enterprise by Rep.
Minis, we hope you read them. Some
how the papers are wonderfully silent
about the matter. Neighbor. suppose
you print those queries. The ques-
ton now is-"to validate or not to vail
date, 1T is hard to tell whether the
tax payer will care to do it, and may
be some other way will be devised
more satisfactory to them, if it is not
to some others. Perhaps some good
man will come to our relief and speak
the words that will settle the difficult
ty. The stiffness of the time makes
us uneasy.
am glad to note you are all right
in Mason, financial and otherwise.
Some parties are certainly to blame
for our shape, and if you hear any
thing crack over our way look out for
splinters. WHoo Hoo.

How to Preueut Group

SOME READING THAT WILL PROVE IN
rEREsTING TO YOUNG MOTHERS. HOW
TO GUARD AGAINST THE DISEASE.
Group is terror to young mothers
and to post them concerning the cause,
first symptoms and treatment is the
object of this item. The origin Of
Group is q common cold. Children
who are subject TO it take cold very
easily and Group is almost sure to fol-
low. The first symptom is hoarseness;
this is soon followed by peculiar
rough cough, which is easily recognize
ed and will never be forgotten by one
who has heard it. The time to act is
when the child first becomes hoarse.
If Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is
freely given all tendency to Group will
soon disappear. Even after the croupy
cough has developed it will prevent
fine attack. There is no danger in Civ
ing this remedy for it contains moth
ing injurious. For sale at L. K. Mum

Logs Moving Slowly.

Logs are reported to be plentiful and
prices low, consequently the business
may be said to be dull. The continu-
ed dry weather has enabled loggers to
prosecute their work in the woods
right along up to the present and lot
OF logs have been made ready for the
mills. Like everything else regulated
by supply and demand this has had
Its effect, a tendency to keep prices
down. With the cessation of work for
the winter it is expected that better
prices will be realized than those which
have prevailed for long time.-Seat-
