Old Glory Unnurlcd at Beaver valley.

AT flag raising at the Beaver Valley
school house recently, Eli Berlin post
was present and did what they could to
make the day an interesting one to the
school as we'll as to the large assembly.
The post band got in their efficient work
as usual. The pole stands about fifty
four feet above the ground. The flag is
of the best material. When all was
ready the cheering was taken up by all
as Old Glory ascended to the place of
honor by the hands of the patriotic and
efficient teacher, Miss Anna C. Boarts.
The program prepared by the school
under the supervision of the teacher was
very interesting as well as splendidly ex-
ecuted. Such demonstrations alone be-
come the American people, actuated as
they are by pure zeal and love for
Country and our free institutions. The
recitations had reference to the love of
Country and devotion 10 our nag. One
noble little boy, reciting very touching
composition on War, became so overcome
by his sympathetic feelings as TO per-
fectly unstring his otherwise noble
powers. Never mind, little boy. we
know you possess big, noble, patriotic
heart The perfection exhibited in songs
and recitations by all forbids us of par
ticularizing anyone, and can only add
that the patrons have just reason TO be
proud of their teacher and school. Nav
prosperity attend them and the flag that
floats over them, is our best wishes, etc.

THE Republicans of Butler county
will hold their primaries on the 28th
inst, and we note with pleasure the
candidacy of Hon. james N. Moore
for reelection to the legislature. No
member of the House left a better
record than Mr.. Moore. He was
one of those who could not be used
by any clique or faction, or swerved
from the right course when the peo.
ple's interests were at stake. He was
a useful member to his constituents
for whose welfare he was always on
the alert, and as a new member he
was looked upon as one of the bright.
est on the floor. Mr.. Moore made
himself popular with his fellow mem
bers by his remarkable display of
backbone in refusing to dance tn
other peoples music, or be wheedled
into supporting measures which he
believed to be against the inter ests OF
the common people. He was the
stern foe Of monOpolies on all occa.
sions, and surely the Republicans oi
Butler county will make a serious
mistake if they do not re.nominate
him.

Will people never learn that "cold" is
an accident to be dreaded, and that when
it occurs treatment should be promptly
applied2 There is no knowing where the
trouble will end; and while complete
recovery is the rule, the exceptions are
terribly frequent, and thousands upon
thousands of fatal illnesses occur every
year ushered in by little injudicious ex-
posure and seemingly trifling symptoms.
Beyond this, there are to day countless
invalids who can trace their complaints
to 'colds," which at the time of occur
renee gave no concern, and were there
fore neglected.-When troubled with a
cold use Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
1t is prompt and effectual. 25 and so

We have here today in the United States
as q contemporary great humorist,
who IL also one OF the masters of Eng
lish prose. He Is one OF the foremost
story-tellers OF the word, with the gift OF
swift narrative, with the certain grasp OF
human nature, with rare power OF pre-
senting character at a passionate crisis.
There Is not In the hcticn Of our language
and our country anything inner OF its
kind than any one OF half dozen
chapters in "1om Sawyer" in "Huckle-
berry Finn" in "Pudd 'nhesd Wilson.
Partly because his fiction Is uneven, and
is never long sustained at its highest level
OF excellence, partly because he has also
written too much that is little better than
buresque and extravaganza, but chiefly
because he Is primarily humorist, be-
cause he IL free from cant and sham
pathos, because he does hot take himself
too seriously, because his huno Is free,
flowing, upfailing, because his laughter
Is robust and contagious and irresista BILE,
because he has made more OF our scat
tered English speaking people laugh than
any other man OF our time--tet ause OF |

When we find that the man who wrote
these chapters, and so many more only q
little less maryelors in their vigor and
their truth, is set down in most accounts
OF American Literature as funny man
only, when we see him dismissed with a
line or two of patronizing comment, as
though Mark Twain were only a news

Phoenix or Artemus Ward or Orpheus &.

have 1t brought home to US that humor
