SEVEN THOUGHTS.

More flies are caught with honey than
vinegar.
If you would not be known to do a
thing, never do it.
1t may be said that yesterday sug-
gests, tomorrow promises, but to-day
accomrlishes.
1t is difficult to say who does the most
mischief, enemies with the worst in
tentions or friends with the best.
There is great struggle between
vanity and patience when we have 10
meet person who admires us but who
bores US.
Beware OF prejudices. A mans mind
is like rat trap; prejudices creep in
easily, but it is doubtful il they ever get
out again.
A good and wise man may at times be
angry with the world, and also grieved
at it; but no man can ever be long dis
contented with the world If he does his
duty in it.--N. Y. Weekly.

Candidates for the Legislature
should say whether they intend to
vote for or against Senator Quay for
reelection. If they intend to vote
as the people desire on this question,
the candidate should say so and the
choice for u. $. Senator should be
left to Il vote of the Republicans.
The people have a right to know
whether you intend to be for Quay
or against him or whether you will
later favor to submit the matter to
4 popular vote. Say something.

Congressman Mahon seems to
have little opposition in his own
county for the nomination to his
old position. We do not pretend
to know anything about the COM
parative strength of Mr.. Gehr
against Congressman Mahon but we
do know that if the people of Frank
lin county expect the district con-
ference TO give the nomination to a
second man in Franklin county
without giving the other counties a
chance, they are very much mistall-
en-. Our congressman has voted
right on all questions affecting the
public welfare. Some distrust and
differences have arisen about him
not being able to give every one a
post Office. We were among the
disappointed ones, but he meyer
promised Us and then went back on
it as other politicians did. His
record is clean and it is our dnty to
say so.

Bill Andrews is trying to make
Col. Stone Governor. Col. Stone
would make good governor, if he
could be nominated and elected
without lot of political heelers.
Bill Andrews has 100000 bill for
fake Lcxow expenses and he wants
the State to pay it. That is why
Bill Andrews wants Col. Stone fov
Governor. Do you think Stone as
Governor would veto Bill Andrews
100000 fake bill?
