The Telling of 1t.

The other day at social function I
came upon two friends, one of whom
had just returned from luxurious voy-
age round the world in millionaire's
steam yacht Have you found anybody
willing to sit down and hear you tell
about it?" mischievously asked the
other. "No, " was the laughing answer,
II have not even ventured to make the
attempt" And I applauded this discre-
tion, for telling about it, is the most
dangerous indulgence possible to one
who would be loved as companion. 1t
is the way that bores begin, and first
yielding to the enticement has often led
to one Of those fatal cases OF self con-
sideration which stamp the afflicted
speaker forever with brand.
He may have seen ghost Or muir
der--nay, even may have CHANGED to
meet an emperor in his shirt sleeves.
No matter; let him be silent upon these
subjects in which his own personality
must claim the lions share. The time
will come, perhaps, in some autumn
twilight, at the end Of long house
party, when the whole company may
gather about him and clamor eagerly
for his adventures. But until then he
should cling to the first precept of con-
yersation, which commands him to leave
ample room for the display of wit in
others. ---Scribner's.

Damascus Township.

FEB. 18th, '97.
The village of Mcclure was visited
some time ago by 90 couple from
Weston composing as fine a sleigh
ing party as ever made Mcclure
stopping point. They struck good
town to have a little fun in and to
shake the fantastic toe. They were
cordially welcomed by our pleasant
proprietor of the Mcclure House and
their every want was supplied, ex-
cept a. little difficulty that was en-
countered in obtaining hall in
which to dance.
1t took the best persuasions of the
party themselves to obtain the hall
They brought their own musicians
and a good dance was enjoyed. AT
ter the dance they returned to the
hotel where an elegant repast was
served. The party returned to Wes
ton well pleased with the treatment
they had received.
Mcclure should build a large hall
or some place to accommodate all com
pauies of this kind and it will en-
courage others to make it a stopping
place. Your friend,

Sugar Growers Association.

This Is the best market in the world
for sugar and the farmers and others
are entitled to its benefits. The
United States pays out $500, ,000. eoo a
year for crop that can and onght 70
be raised in this country II these in
dustries were only properly pro-
tected.
The farmers and business men la
many states are already organized
and Henry county should be. Get
out OF partisan politics and take a
stand for justice and protection for
that which will be benefit to all
classes, and with some associated eff
fort use all your influence In secur-
ing proper legislation for industries
that should belong to this country.
Agriculture must underlie repub-
lican form OF government as
a basis OF prosperity, as the farmers
feed the world; then agriculture
should be first to be considered and
protected. The farmers must ask
for what they need, know that it be-
longs to them, and then see that
they get it or know the reason why.
We want congress to frame the
ucW bdTll 50 dS W luuuCe capitol TO
go into the business of making sugar
from beets and cane grown by the
farmers in this country instead of
encouraging the importation of raw
sugar at a low tariff and high tariff
on refined sugar in favor of the sugar
trust.
We must remind Congress that
they are elected to legislate for the
people and the general welfare there
OF and not to be turned with the
wind or bought by the money of the
few who want to be favorvd at the
expense of the many. The Congress
man elect for our district is with US;
we know and feel confident that we
shall have his support. Then we
should organize and assist in this
work and help to procure national
protection for a number of years.
This will be better than state boun-
ties; it will be more permanent.
We should organize at once-our
business men as well as farmers
should be interested, because this
would benefit all. We have not
much time to spare to get in work
ing order, but when we get favor
able legislation we will have plenty
of time for experimental work, etc.
Some information in regard to the
cultivation of beets will be given
later. SECRETARY.

GRELToN, Feb. Is. 1897

A few of Grelton citizens seem to
think that Bradford Bede was un-
justly dealt with by being sent to the
stoneyard for refusing to provide
meat, drink and proper clothing for
his family when there was no excuse
for him not doing so except pure
cussedness." Bede could have had
employment nearly all the time but
would not work, only as personal
comfort demanded it. The dissen-
sion arises from prejudice and not
through principle. 1t comes from
ignorance of the facts in the case
II one will view the situation OF the
family and the cause that led to it,
he cannot decide as some of the peo-
pile have. One prominent man has
said ''if politics were eliminated there
would be no dissension." X

Too frequent desire to urinate or

WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge
so often expressed; that DIR. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney
remedy, fulfills every wish in reliev-
ing pain in the back, kidneys, liver,
bladder and every part OF the urinary
passages. 1t corrects inability to
hold urine and scalding pain in pass
ing it, or bad effect following use of
liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes
that unpleasant necessity of being
compelled to get up many times dur
ing the night to urinate. The mild
and the extraordinary effect of
Swamp Root is soon realized. 1t
stands the highest for it's wonderful
cures Of the most distressing cases.
