1t Is hardly necessary to mention the
name of w. L. Arthur, candidate for
the Office Of County Superintendent of
Public Schools in Harrison county.
He was nominated for second term
by the Democratic and Populist county
convention, and rs such, is now before
the people asking ratification of that
nomination. by the voters of the
county at the November election. He
has demonstrated his fitness for the
position during the past two years by
10 faithful discharge of the delicate
duties of that important position.
The schools Of the county have been
abely and successfully conducted
under his supervision. Good teachers
have succeeded to occupy the school
rooms of the county, and every effort
by him has been to elevate and JIM
prove the schools of the county !
The County Institutes under his
best ever held, employing largely home
talent, in their conduct, and in talking
with the teachers of the county, we
find spirit of satisfaction and ap-
prevail of his official duty generally
prevailing. We all know that the duty

duty Mr.. Arthur has faithfully per-
formed, and our schools today are
placed on higher plane than ever be-

This is not so much a political of

Mrs Sarah Mains, sister of Mrs

w N Smith and Mat Smith, who
have not met before in seven years,
had q family reunion at j w Deals
on Sunday, whom the brothers,
sisters and grand children to the
number Of forty partook OF q
family dinner, and had their
photos, in group taken.
The dinner Was most excellent,
and the cider was good, and good
cheer prevailed.
Mrs Main lives in Guthrie coun-
\ ~, Iowa, and will return to her
home on Tuesday morning.
Its 4 happy time when brothers
and sisters meet. and doubly 30
when surrounded by children and
grand children, and it may be
mentioned that when the Jones'
and Smiths Of this county come
together, with the Deals and Frys
to swell the crowd it is like the
gathering of the children of Iser-
al of old, not as numerous as the
sands ofsthe sea, but they make
q host Of no small magnitude, and
always have q good time. It's a
fact If you meet q man in this

SHELTON or Fry, or Deal, and you
are sure to hit his name. They
all come from Indiana, and are
among our best most respected
citizens, and If Rube Jones is
around, you can expect lots OF fun.
One of the sad incidents connec
ted with the meeting was the fact
that in the Smith family several
empty chairs are numbered, as
eight have passed in late years.

remembered for it's plesent asso-
