There has been a great deal OF
sickness Of late in our community.
While many have battled faithfully
against the diseases, yet death has
plucked some of the brightest flowers
and garnered some of the most loving

remains were laid to rest in the
cemetery at Castor to await the
summons, while their immortal
spirits were bourn on the pinions of
an angelic host, to be clothed in a
spotless robe made white in the
blood of the Lamb. These babes
are not dead, but sleep, and their

pensary was made on Governor Ell
lerbe, and he alone of the old set
came off victorious.
Featherstone had practically no
political influence, and was unknown
before his announcement OF candi-
dacy for Governor.
EEATHERsToNE's DOUBLE ADVANTAGE.
His platform was for prohibition,
but said if be couldn't get that he
would vigorously enforce tho dispen-
sary, or words to that effect This
practically gave him double adj
vantage. He caught the prohibition
vote, and lis pledge disarmed the
advocates of the dispensary. Many
friends of the dispensary thought
that nothing would be lost even if
Featherstone was elected-both can
didates having pledged themselves
to enforce the law, if prohibition
could not be had.
FEATHERsToNE's VOTE.
The vote which Featherstone re-
ceived may be said to include:
l. Prohibitionists.
2. All who had a grievance against
Ellerbe.
3. That portion Of extreme Con
servatives who would not vote for q
leading Reformer, if any chance to
avoid it.
4 A great mass of men who know,
who may hope that on failure OF
prohibition being proven, return to
less restrictive liquor sale will be
effected.
S. Foreigners and others in Char
lesion who hope to see the old liquor
business restored.
ELLERBE's UNPoPULARITY.
The hatred of Ellerbe has risen
from various causes. Among which
we might mention:
l. He is a leading Reformer.
2. He is poor politician, and has
made various mistakes in his appoint
ments.
8. His effort to enforce the dis
pensary law.
4. His appointment of officers in
the volunteer regiment.
EILERBEs CLEAN ADMINISTRATION.
But despite his mistakes, Gov
ernor Ellerbe has made good Gov
ernor. He has given clean admin
istration, and that administration has
been vindicated by his denomination.
CAUSE OF SATISFACTION.
The fact that he was the subject
OF the combined opposition, and that
he was renominated while all his
brother officers in the State house
were swept from power, is something
of which to be satisfied.
WHAT TEMPERANCE PEOPLE SHOULD DO
The dispepsary is here to stay and
all true friends of temper .nce might
as we'll adjust themselves to the con-
dition and lend their power and in
fence to the enactment Of measures
which will shorten the hours for keep
ing the dispensary open, and raise
the price Of the stuff.
NEWSPAPER BRETHREN NoNPLUShD.
The most ludicrous thing in all
this campaign is the dismay which
the State newspaper spread among
his breth, en- in it's support OF Ellerbe

Moses is said to have been when the

The weather is warm enough now to
plant drilled corn. sorghum and the
several kinds Of millet for forage pur-
possess. When hot weather comes we
generally have pretty long dry spells,
and, during these, pastures fail to meet
the wants of the animals they usually
support. To bridge over these times
of scarcity forage crops come in
very handily. The flow of milk
can be kept = up at little ex-
pense, and the health OF work ami
mails improved by moderate rations
OF green food. All herb~eating ami
mails crave it, because It is their nat
urnl food, and when deprived of it for
heightened periods are apt to become
dyspeptic and have unnatural appe-
titles, and eat things unfit for food. II
always pays to keep farm animals OF
every kind in highest health, and va
riety of good food is better for this
purpose than all condition powders.

Fast Time to Colorado.

A new through Sleeping Car line between
St. Louis and Colorado Springs will be estab-
Iished over the Wabash Rock Island Short
Line, May 18th, 1898. The time will be the
fastest made with through service between
these two points by many hours. A through
Sleeper will leave St. Louis on Wabash train
No. 3, at 900 a. m, arriving at Colorado
Springs the next morning at HOO, with d.
rect connection for Denver, arriving at 80
a. m. This is the fastest regular through
service ever established between St. Louis
and Colorado. Returning, the Sleeper will
leave Colorado Springs at 2.45 p. m, and ar
rive at ST. Louis the next evening at 6l5.
Patrons of this line will avoid the only un-
pleasant feature heretofore attendant on Col
orado travel, inasmuch as the trip through
Missouri's fertile fields will now be by day
light, and the unattractive portion of Kansas
will be traversed during the night, with the
mountain scenery to greet the tourists in the
morning.
The fast time Of this line will naturally
commend the Wabash Route to intending
Colorado tourists.
