Oct 25th-The 34th annual meeting OF the
Southern Conference of the Lutheran church
which was held here last week, was very
pleasant and enjoyable indeed notwithstand-
ing the very disagreeable weather which
prevailed. Good attendance was had for each
days exercises. All denominations joined
together to make it an interesting and prof.
table, meeting, which fact attested very
much to the universal popularity of the pas
tor. Rev. g. A. Freed.
The long and continued drought has at
last been broken by timely and abundant
rain and our farmers are blowing and seed
ing with renewed energy good crop will
yet be sown.
Mr.. aud Mrs Edgar Dawson will visit the
formers home at Scottsville during this
week. Mr.. Dawson is the popular principal
OF the New Providence Academy.
Miss Marie Beck, of Deerfeld. has return
ed home, after visit of several weeks in
our midst. Chas. r. Berry is visiting friends

Only few more days shall have elapsed
before the sterling Democracy of this grand
and historic old county will again be called
upon to exercise that priceless and God given
right of suffrage and we would counsel
them to beware lest they become not victims
of the wide spread and general apathy that
is injecting the Democratic party.
Certainly it is the duty of every American
citizen to exercise the right Of suffrage. If
the privileges Of citizenship we're worth pur-
chasing with blood. they are surely worth
preserving with ballot. Many battles have
been lost because one soldier failed to do
his duty, and the result in this political
contest may depend upon one single vote.
1 trust that the young men Of Augusta
county to whose ranks have the honor to
belong will do their full duty in this con-
test for it will take the presumptous daring
of the youth to win this fight. The time has
come when the democratic party demands
the infusion of younger blood.
i As for the ticket it must certainly win
and splendid one it is. Tyler, Echols and
Montague is an ideal ticket. They are men
} whose civic laurels will not yield one sim
gle flower to the brightest chaplet that ever
bloomed upon patriots brow. They will be
triumphantly elected.
Democratic supremacy must be maintain
ed for the sake Of all the principles of good
gov eminent W. E. B.

The last time Virginia was in Re-

rally expect its nominees to vote for
mixed schools. They cannot well
avoid it, and they will be deceived by

The three foreign gentlemen on the
Prohibition ticket who are candidates
for the Senate and House in this coun-
ty, when they have lived long enough
in the county to learn something OF
her people, will find that a nomination
to command respect must not be q
joke. Our people like a joke, good
joke, but practical joke, such as the
nomination of that ticket has neither

They all Saved the Day.

1t is comical to watch the antics
OF some OF the would-be oficehold-
ers in their chase for office. There
are men setting up claims for office
on the strength of having done
great things for their party and
brought about its success at the
polls, who hardly knew which one
OF the boys they were until the
election returns were all in. Then
there are others who are profession
al office-holders and office seekers,
whose influence was not worth any,
thing with the voters, or anybody
else, and they want to be recog-
nlzed on account of their long, hard
and arduous labors for their party.
On the other hand there MANY
good, quiet workers, men with a
principle above ofice-holding, who
are also asking for recognition at
the hands of the administration
but the chances are very strong
that they will be turned down.
The other fellows will make such
noise and clamor that the more
modest element will be entirely lost
sigh! of. Perhaps this will be the
best politics after all, for if the
professional holders do not
get appointed they will probably
Jump the party, while the men who
follow the party on principle will
swallow the dose, if it is bitter
AMI still stay with their principles.

A Delicate Surgical Operation.

Last Sunday DR.. R. A. Parent, OF
this place, assisted by DR.. A. P.
Merriwether, of Siletz, performed a
very delicate surgical operation upon
Mrs. Lydia Stevens, of this place.
1t will be remembered that Mrs.
Stevens has been afflicted with a
malignant cancer in her right breast
for several years. 1t had extended
so far that it was deemed necessary
to apply the knife in order to save
her life. The growth of the cancer
had spread so that the whole right
breast had to be removed. The
operation promises to be a successful
one, as the patient rallied from the
shock in much stronger and better
manner than could be expected.
At this time the symptoms are all
favorable. The performing of this
delicate operation reflects great
credit upon DR.. Parent, who used
the knife, and DR.. Merriwether,
who assisted him. The patient is
II years old, and in addition to
that she suffered fracture of one of
her legs last December, from which
she has since been confined to her
bed. 1t is to be truly hoped that
the skill of Drs. Parent and Meri-
wether will give this aged and
worthy lady relief.
