Answer to the Geographical Puzzle.

One day last May Henry jackson and
Sidney Lawrence planned q nutting party
that they were going to have in October.
So one day last week they started for the
woods. The morning was not pleasant,
but as the boys thought IL would soon clear.
they set out with milan luncheon. There
was more than one sandwich. made of tur.
key and bear, for each of the boys, o Wash
ington pie, some California peaches and
snow custards put up in darling little cups.
Soon the weather became more pleasant,
and the boys saw blue in the sky to tell
them that the foul weather was brief and
the rainy weather was over. The boys
gathered all the nuts they could possibly
carry home, ate their lunch and then
played they were hunters. First, they shot
a bear, then q fox and finally buffalo.
Suddenly wheeling around, Henry Jackson
saw something white in the distance. Soon
he discovered that il was his sister Florence
and Lena st. John. The girls had on white
marseilles dresses. and big yellow leghorn
hats Do not roam far into the woods said
Sidney, for think this yellow sky il going
TO become black very soon and there viii be
u storm. II was now getting late and they
had Just little fear TO be out in the dark,
go they all said farewell 10 the woods, and
ran race home.

Messrs. Editors IL see By your vsIua.
BILE paper that worth ~ill ell and il bound
70 be recognized, as in the case ofthe Rock
vile Sentinel In making mention Of our
highly esteemed friend sud fellow coun
tan, D. Harris Csmalier. Escr
The compliment Is mnss fitly bestowed,
though not more than he deserves Has
he not always stood up for true Democrs-
cy: Has he not always hattled manfully
for the cause, never ALTERING or drawing
back frrm what he thought was right?
Let no; any other county get ahead If Us
in singing bis praises. DOn't lets stand
idly by and talk, but let rs act for our Rest
interest. also for his interest. and send del
egates to the Congressional Convention
who will work and use all henorabIe means
ilrst and last 20 secure the nomination Of
Benjamin Harris Camalier.
/ do not think we could do better If we
searched the district Mr. Camalier is
widely and we'll known aiI over the State,
and would not only command the strength
Il the Democratic party, but would make
great inroads in all other parties in the
district.
By selecting b. Harris Camalier as
our standard-bearer in the next Congres-
sional fight, his opponent would not find
such smooth travelling to the Capital as
they anticipate, but would find the road
extremely muddy on thai day. They
might pull AID Tnsk. - Ben would
travel quietly on the CapSi, There TO do
battle for rure Democracy. which would be
for the best interest of all our people.
| think II is time our county was recog-
nized, and it could not be better done than
by sending her honored son, another Ben
Jamin Harris" to the next Congress
Messrs. Editors. l will not trouble you
more at this time, but that you will spread
MI. Ben's banner to the breeze and keep
his claim before the people until we land
him safely in the Capital of the limited
States" is the wish of true
DEMocRAT.
