The Coming Election.

The following from the Slayton
Gazette and is applicable to our town.
Villlge election is close at hand
and it is time that voters were think
ing of what they should do on elec-
ton day.
The officers which are to be elected
should be men of judgment and with
this there should be a reasonably
we'll developed conscience. The man
who for dollar or two will turn his
back upon crime, is no man to place
in public Office. He shout hold honor
above riches.
Then, too, comes the saloon ques-
ton. We are on friendly terms with
almost all saloon men but we do not
admire the business in which they are
engaged. There are many of them
who, as a whole, are good citizens
and even better than the majority,
but that does not taken any of the
curse from the business.
As we have said before, we have
been around the world enough to be
convinced that there is much more
drunkenness in saloon towns than
where prohibition prevails, especially
where the law has the hearty support
of the officers who are. elected to en-
force it. A good law without officers
to enforce it, is worse than no law at
ell except that it shows the good
sense of those who enact it.

From idaho.

The following interesting letter
from a former Worthington family
now located at Fletcher, Idaho:
"You may also state through your
columns to our many old friends of
Mobiles county, that we are all we'll
and enjoying the best of health, the
children are growing strong and
healthy out here on the range among
the Indians.
Times are quite hard here, and yet
people are making good living and
as soon as the railroad will come
through the county will prosper. A
person that is used to an old settled
country, where railroads are near by
doesn't like to live frontier life verv
long until he gets sick of it. But
health is the main object of life, and
here is the place to obtain good
health, for all there are lot of other
disadvantages and discontentments
to content with.
This country is improving fast and
many good farmers from the east are
coming in here with good capital and
that helps build up country. We
are doing very we'll I have in con.
nection with our farm. Here at
Fletcher a roller feelmilI and grind
tor customers, have good trade and
give good satisfaction to the public.
People are now getting ready for
their spring work, seeding begin
next week. We have had fine win
ter, and by all indications spring is
now here.
The railroad contemplates build.
ing through here this spring and if
so the country will take a great boom
and lands will change hands fast and
at big figures.
| We congratulate all of our good
old town friends and nei8hbors of
their we'll doings and wish them all
good health and prosperity.
