that will, when the time shall come,
drive those same young fellows else
where to seek wife? 1t looks as if
the girls would get on after awhile
anly qualities But they don t seem
to.
THAT s the truth. every word o.

'Do you know, said prominent
local man who is not particularly ac-
tive in politics aud very mild par
tisan, that when the votes are
counted next Tuesday week and Tues
day night it will be found that the
land has slid in large chunks? Do
you know that even here in Wayne
county some loose earth will have
slipped toward the ravine? Do you
know that hundreds upon hundreds
of Democrats who are keeping it I'M
der their hats are going to vote for
Mckinley and Roosevelt because
they are satisfied with present CON
ditions and do not want a change?
Do you know that this number is
