NOTES OF THE CONVENTION.

II. G.. Lowrance was unanimously
elected temporary and permanent
chairman of the convention, and pre-
sided with much dignity and fairness.
1t looked good to see ], A, ALBANIAN,

The absence of George Balch was
noticible, but George will be on hands
as usual in November.
CIV, Williams, the nominee for sur
veyor, is one Of the best civil engi-
neers in this part of the state.
Brother Allison, of the Sentinel,
took items for his paper, and appeared
to enjoy the fun, especially John Guss'
speech.
Mrs. Harbaugh as secretary of the
convention, showed herself perfectly
competent to perform the duties
thereof.
R. G. Crandon, of South Mound, is
one of the best physicians in the
county and will lead the ticket in his
vicinity.
Uncle Bobby Herod was present as
usual and made a couple Of his humor-
Gus nominating speeches which al
ways please the crowd.
c. f. Prange has made one of the
best; sheriffs Neosho county ever had
and the voters of the county will see
that he is retained for another term.
d. L. Houston, the nominee for
treasurer, has lived in Neosho county
for almost thirty years, and Is ono OF
the successful farmers Of Neosho Val
ley. Keep your eye on him; he will run
like scared wolf.
]. n. Cutler, of st. Paul, nominee
for register of deeds, has been in Neo-
osho county longer than the ChAnute
TINES, and is one our best citi-
zens. Mr.. CIVIL make the opposition
know he is IN the race.
No man in Neosho county is better
equipped for county clerk than Ben
w. Garvin. He Is careful, obliging
and competent, and will prove vote
getter. Keep your eye on him, as he
will not be far from the head of the
procession.

If Leedy calls the legislature to

mum freight rate bill, why not have
him include in the call "to investl-
gate charges Of boodling at the last
session. Charges of accepting
brides were made open and above
board, and names given in both house
and senate of those who had been Fix
ed" The members Of this honorable
body who were not fixed will certainly
kick for an investigation that will ex-

What Business Men Do and Others


Don't.
Business men settle nearly all their
bills with bank drafts or checks be-
cause they are more convenient for
themselves and much preferred by
those to whom bills are payable, and
il lost, duplicates are much easier OBJ
tanned and with'less delay than in
postotfice money orders or express Or
ders. Besides drafts drawn to order
require the endorsement of the payer
before he can get the money thereon
and hence make the most convenient
and best evidence Of payment, as they
are returned to the drawers of the
draft or check after payment. Remit
ances by bank drafts are always as
cheap and cheaper II the amount ex-
ceeds ten dollars than by any other
method. Many persons not accust-
omed to do much business still make
their remittances by post Office OF
express orders which cost as much or
more than bank drafts and are not so
convenient for the use Of payer nor as
evidence Of payment and in case Of
loss it requires much trouble and
long delay in getting duplicate.
The dry weather Of the past two
weeks had begun to tell on the corn
