The "white fly" seems to have en-
tirely disappeared. We presume, of
course, the esteemed Citizen puts this
down to the defeat of Bryan and the
election of Mckinley. Watch out now
for its press singing new, sweet song.

| 1t is not so bad with Mr. Cleveland as we FIRST
thought it was. He got out in plenty of time to
make crop, even if he will be little late about
sowing his oats-Ackernan Plaindeaier.
OF course the Plaindealer means his
fresh oats. His "wild oats" were sown
| years ago.
Oh, yes! The Banner favors the
election of county commissioners by
the people. Circuit judges should also
be elected by the people. The people
should be sovereign in all these mat
ters.
The worst thing about Jeans Pants
is that they keep some wife, mother
or sister constantly sewing rips anc
buttons. The best thing about th'
BUCKSKIN BREECHES is the fac
that the buttons stay on and seam
don't rip as long as the pants last
That's good while longer than an.
other pants will wear.
