republican convention was held here
yesterday. DR.. w. w. Hawk, of Col
fax, was nominated for representative

lions were adopted nor were there any
instructions for senator. An harmoni-
Gus and well-attended convention was

ial convention of Webster and Cal

day afternoon for the purpose of nom
inatinr a republican candidate for state
senator, There was little interest in
the outcome. as it was known that L.
d. Healy, of this city, would be the
unanimous choice of the convention for
denomination. Senator Healy in his
address distinctly outlined his own
position on the senatorial question. As
between Cummins and Gear he said he
was for Cummins. but in case the
name of j. P. Dolliver was presented
by, the people of the Tenth district as
a candidate for the United States sena-
tprship he would do all in his power
to bring about his election. The an
nouncement of this position taken by
Senator Healy was received with very
evident favor and enthusiasm.

The School of Agriculture met Nor
DAY night with a goodly number pres
ent consisting, we are pleased to say,
of both ladies and gentlemen. with
Mr. Gee acting as president and Mr..
j. Il. Murphy secretary. After a
most excellent and inspiring speech
by the originator of this practical
school. Mr.. Hollister. several of the
best farmers and business men of our
thriving town expressed their hearty
zeal and cooperation for such line
OF work as they believed the Holly
School of Agriculture would give.
After short intermission members
were requested to enroll their names
and large number of ladies and gen
tlemen responded which shows they
know good thing when they see It,.
Several departments were organized
with chairman of each. At their
next meeting which will be held Mon
day night April 10th, tru.tees and
other officers will be elected and a
text book in simple Botany will be de-
cided upon. We would be pleased to
see the house full on next Monday
night.

The School Question.

a special meeting of the voters of
this school district has been called for
Tomorrow afternoon at $50 O'Clock.
The purpose Of the meeting is to make
arrangements for building new
school house, something which has
been badly needed for sometime.
AS nearly as we have been able to
ascertain everybody is in favor of hay
ing large two story brick or stone
building erected and that is the only
kind that will prove satisfactory and
meet the needs Of the educational In
terests Of the district as time goes on
and the population increases. While
there has been much talk of erecting
such a building without borrowing
money, it is our opinion that any at
tempt to do such thing will result
in a fiat failure. 1t takes cash to car
ry out such an Undertaking as this
at least four thousand dollars, and
while our district is in good shape fin
anciaily not being in debt dollar, yet
it can not build a s., 900 house and pay
cash for it. But what objection
can there be to borrowing the money
for such "A beneficial purpose as this?
Why is it any better to raise the as
sessment in order to provide fund for
building and defer the building until
the cash is paid in, than to vote bonds,
sell them and erect the building at
once? 1t is only matter of a few dol
lars additional taxes either way and
by the latter plan we will have
the use of a good school building at
least two years sooner.
Let us go at the matter in a busi-
ness way and put up a building that
will be credit to our community and
answer all its requirements for years
to come. No one will ever regret yot
ing bonds when they fully realize the
many advantages of having such
building for our shc0ols.

Time To Plant.

1t is very strange that so many peo-
pie get crazy to begin planting crops
at the appearance of the first warm
days of spring. They do not seem to
remember that the time for planting
comes about the same time every year
and to plant before the time comes is
almost sure to result in replanting.
For this country, the first two weeks
of May is early enough for planting all
garden vegetables, except those which
a frost will not hurt. At that time
the ground is warm and seeds will ger
inmate at once, and will mature ear
lier than those planted Il month ear
lier in cold ground. Farmers and gar
dcners should be guided by the time of
year rather than by the weather.
