Prosperity has struck this place
In full blast. Potatoes are only So
cents per bushel, meat, II IL cents
per pound and corn can't be had

likewise and no money, to be sure,
or work TO be found Guess we've
struck veritable Klondike.
We presume the Republicans Of

How people can hold him up as
their standard Of education, we are
at a loss to know. II he really is
their standard, their standard is
is not very elevated. We know, Of
an actual experience a young man
of our town had with shim At
that time he did not have CDR" to
his name. lie was very anxious
to obtain a certificate and knowing
his own weakness, obtained the
State questions and brought them
to the young man we spoke OF, TO
get them answered for him, offer
ing to pay him five dollars for his
work, should he obtain a second
class certificate in the Floyd cOun-
ty examination. Well, to make a
long story short, he obtained 2nd
class certificate. Is this the man tC
superlntend our schools and set an
example before our children? No
thousand times no!
The Republican committee and
, county candidates metal the Ode
Fellows hall Monday and the SUI
Of fifteen dollars was appropriated

) IL. H. Gambill is about chokeo
and his coat is almost thread-bare
because OF SO many pulling hin
thisway and that, exacting prom
ises OF every kind. The peopl
need some one in the Senate WHIT
will do some good. II We onl.
needed the seat filled, we coul'
: purchase wax figure or fix up
dummy OF most any kind to fill III
!, Office OF "do nothing" and it woul,
|. MI the place admirably and thi
! course would be a great deal CHEAP
er. But we need a wide awake, u
to date man one familiar with tn
5 law and who is not afraid to ope
: his mouth. A man can be a thol
g ough good fellow and yet to be tn
II poorest Senator under the sun.
y Once upon a time, we had our tow
II incorporated and had officers, an
q order; but when our law-makC
y came home, instead OF seein
N that law and order prevailed, h
p took every cursing, obscene, tall
ing drunk man, and hid them in h
y ware room or smoke house, an
IN where that he could hide them,
v the marshall could not arrest theI
T. thus upholding such disgracet
X conduct; and now Il is next to in
N possible to hold church or praye
DC meeting service after night.
~ We want a man TO enforce Il
III laws or allow them to be enforce
III as well as make them.
gu Now, give,thre cheers for job
We son and vote for a man VIII
Is though young,wilI serve us rigl
