 LANDyOIGT X VADAKIN. When the sap begins to rise and the geese begin to mate. we hear the gentle carol of the county candidate. 0, he's a jolly fellow and is full of vain con- csits, and sees bosom friend in every man he meets. He asks about your family, your horses and your hogs, ana shows friendly interest in the children and the dogs. O, he's a jolly gentle. man, as gamesOme as a lamb. as blithe. some as meadow lark, and happy as a clam. His prospects are the bright est and his chances they are sure, and he spends his money freely and he helps the needy poor. And he goes to church on Sunday and his pious traits appear, but when it's necessary he will then set up the beer. O. he's a san guine, buoyant duck, the jocund can didate, he starts out early in the morn and stays until it's late, his patient wife unlocks the door and with a look of pain says: "You needn't lie to me. your legs been pulled again. .n-Illinois State Register.

"Eb,n as he ooo ldiulIldlly hHOWH anu Cdiltu, Udu been in bad health for several years Last year he had an operation per formed. for fstula, and has never grown better Recently he went 10 San Antonio, but he grew worse and did not stay but a short time. After returning to Cherry Valley he gradu- ally and rapidly grew weaker. and the end came to his sufferings Monday. In life we had talked with him of our health, and of his contemplated trip to San Antonio. He expressed the wish that we could go together. He seemed to think the change would do him good, and that he would be able to go to work when he arrived there. But he waited too long. Death had marked him, and he is now at peace. He. was an earnest and enereetic worker in the Methodist church, and that organiza- ton has greatly missed his services. especially at the young peoples meet.
