THE ELECTION.

Columbia County Democracy has
honored itself by giving a good old
time majority for the. Democratic
candidate for Governor. For some
years past the majorities have been
small, owing to factional fights that
have unfortunately existed, to the
detriment OF the party. But this year
we give jerks a majority of 2I17 over
Stone. This is owing very largely to
the splendid organization effected by
County Chairman McHenry and
Secretary r. G. F. Kshinka, and their
efficient corps of assistants. Never
before has there been so much work
done at Democratic headquarters as
this year. Chairman McHenry has
given much valuable time to the duties
of his position, and to his intelligent
management the result of the election
is largely due. Every Democratic
candidate on the county ticket, and
every district nominee is elected. In
the matter of the Judgeship there was
an element of the party working against
the nominee, and in the congressional
contest the power of money was
brought to bear against the success of
Mr.. Polk, but Notwithstanding this,
the party was united, big vote was
polled, and these candidates ele cted.
The congressional district is wrested
from the hands of the Republicans
who have held it for the past four
years, and this certainly is a victory
for which we ought to be thankful.
Let us keep up the good work started
by Chairman McHenry, and the dis
trict will not be taken from us again.

An exchange warns its readers
against being entrapped by the
wiles of slick swindler who is
working farmers and boarding
house keepers in the western part
of the State.
The swindler calls himself
Thompson and he says he is a mill
ionaire. According to the Green's
burg 1rlbne he is fraud of the
first water and neglects to pay for
his boarding and lodging. When
Mr.. Thompson arrived at Green's
burg he went to the county clerks
office and deposited in the vault
there all Adams express company
receipt which showed on the face
that he had sent $50, 900 to the
treasury at Washington, D. c.
Then he went into the country
roundabout and began offering fab
ulous prices for farms, several Of
which were sold to him-on paper.
He boarded wit a Mrs. Kroft, of
Ligonier, and afterward with Mrs.
Collinswood, of Greensburg, to
whom he is said to have exhibited
S44, 900 in currency. His actions
were quite peculiar and he invaria-
bly, slept with a revolver under his
pillow and when sitting in his
boarding house kept one OH a chair
beside him. Suddenly he left
Greensburg without paying any of
his board bills and without taking
along his alleged valuable receipt.

President Mckinley has issued the
annual Thanksgiving proclamation,
fixing Thursday, November "a, as the
day for its observance. Those who
honor his observance-and few Ameri-
can citizens do not-should not fail TO
read the short enumeration of the
things we are to be thankful for con-
tanned in the Presidents proclama-
ton. This will do for beginning.
Then, If every American will spend
the next four weeks recalling the
things for which he should personally
give thanks the day will be celebrated
this year with more than usual fervor.
The proclamation has been made
early enough to give every household
ample time for all necessary prepara-
tions, and with so much time to get
ready and SO many reasons for giving
thanks the American people should
celebrate the day in manner to make
it celebration long to be remember
ed.

For Trespassers.

The time of the year is here when
farmer and trucker is almost at his
wits ends to keep gunners and tres.
passers off his premises. Fruit and
nuts are considered common property
by many people who are considered
honest in other matters, and the gum
ner thinks well laden chestnut tree
as having been placed in his way to
requite him for the failure to bag the
buzzing quail or the bounding rabbit.
In this connection it might be well to
remind the thoughtless that the law
aginst trespassing provides that all
persons wiltully taking and carrying
away fruit, egetsbles, plants, fruit or
ornamental trees, vines or shrubs are
liable to fine not exceeding $50,
and an imprisonment not exceeding
sixty days.

Mrs. mary Faus Rosborough.

Tis fallen to us to chronicle the
death of Mrs. Mary Faus Rosborough
of Bowen, Colorado, who went to her
rest on the 2Sth day OF October, 1898.
Mary Faus, daughter of w. P. and
Anna Faus of Pine township was born
December I4th, 1868. Under the
teaching and influence OF a home,
where the slowly Mai of Nazareth" "
is enthroned as ruler and King, Mary
grew up in "the fear and admonition
of the Lord" At an early age, she
entered more fully into that "abun-
dant life,' and united herself with the
M. E. Church at Wesley Chapel,
Waller Charge. By her diligence and
her thirst for better things, she fitted
herself for teaching in public schools
which she did efficiently for several
years throughout the county. On the
Sth day of August 1894, she was unit
ed in marriage to Mr.. Calvin Rosbor-
ough of Bowen, Colorado, with whom
she lived, loved, and labored until the
Master said "It is enough, come
up higher"
AS a teacher she was loved of her
students as a friend and associate,
agreeable, obliging and kind as a
Christian worker she was Jealous. ac-
tive, progressive; as true character,
vlrtuous, pure, good as soul meet
for heaven God took her. A memoir
ial service was held in Wesley Chapel
of the Waller Charge, Friday Nov. 4th.
The large gathering, and the fearful
eyes Of the many who were present,
was the best expression, of the es-
teen in which Mrs. Rosborough was
held. Her sorrowing parents, brothers
and sisters have our heartfelt SYM
pathy. The Lord sustain and keep
them.
