GRAND MEETING AT sAROls
ALarge and Enthusiastic Crowd En-
dorses Republican Prosperity.

One of the largest and most
enthusiastic meetings in the history
Of Sardis district was held at Sardis
Tuesday night. The Junior Order
Hall was crowded to overflowing with
the best people of Sardis district,
both ladies and gentlemen. The
large attendance, the excellent order
and the close attention given the
speakers are evidences of the approval
Of the republican prosperity and of
the desire for Its continuation.
After the Sardis band had rendered
some splendid music, Mr. Jesse
Hagerty introduced Mr.. d. NJ. Willis,
who spoke a short time on the general
prosperity of the country and out
lined the manner OF assuring its con-
tinuation.
Mr.. Willis was followed by Hon.
Harvey W. Harmer, who for almost
two hours discussed the issues Of the
campaign, receiving closest atten-
ton and applause after applause. Mr..
Harmer's speech was . noble effort
and the way it was received, and the
enthusiasm displayed are proof that
perfect harmony reigns in Old Sardis
District.

JAsE KEs1ER WHITEwAsHED
The Police Board Held an Entirely
Useless Investigation.

The police board whitewashed Kes
and by sheer force of circumstances
he is still on the police force. The
board wise as sages held an inveStiga-
ton, but for what purpose is not APP
parent. Reputable men testified
against Kester and a plain, strong
case was established, as the records
will show. However, the report of the
police board Monday night to council
was not unexpected, as it seemed to be
the general opinion that the board
would recommend the dismissal of the
charges against Kester. 1t appeared
very urgent that the matter should
be pressed to final conclusion Mon
day night, because of the absence Of
Councilman Kearns, and the police
board ridered the thing through. If
Kearns had been present, they might
not have been SO anxious, as the vote
would have stood to 5, with 1t up to
the mayor. AS 1t WIS the vote stood
s to 4 to retain Kester. Those voting
in the affirmative were Councilmen
Thompson, Martin, Redman, Siers
and Wilkinson, or in other words, the
police board and two Others. Coun-
cilmen Moore, Ernst, Shuttleworth
and Keenan, voted in the negative.

the trees to recover the general shock
Of transplanting before they are called
upon to actively engage in food storing
and the support of their leaves. Good
care in handling and planting figures
largely in the results. A good pounding
of the earth around the roots CORE
spends with the settling which time may
bring, and little water given when trees
are in leaf or pushing at time of trans
planting is sustaining, until the roots can
better look around for their own supply
of moisture But good care" is often
mistaken injury. The pounding of the
soil IS not done as it IS being filled in,
but after the hole is entirely filed, max
ing a hard surface, through which the
needed air and water cannot readily pen
citrate. The surface never should be
made hard-quite the contrary. Then,
again, instead of a moderate application
of water the trees are sometimes soaked
every day all summer long regardless of
need and condition of soil. In heavy
soil it is best to refrain entirely from
watering. Cherries and piums object, as
a rule, to being moved after commencing
to leaf. Pears and apples are less par
tiCular.

Lack of rain in the Northwest has been
the ruling factor in the grain market the
past week SPECTATORS have been eau
tious, and, as a result, neither the bull
nor bear element has scored anything
like coup. There has been rain in some
sections Of the Northwest, but it has not
been of sufficient volume to relieve the
tension in Chicago. What the dealers
want is a regular downp0ur. Showers

take the risk of plunglns on either pos

are fairly we'll satisfied that the market
has held its own. They are wiling to
half way. The present week, however,
is. likely destined to be the date Of some
radical change in. the grain situation.
CORN AND OATS.
Corn has followed wheat throughout
the week, as it usually does, and, as
consequence, there has been little done
in the coarser grain. Prices changed
slightly during the week-in fact the con-
ditior OF the corn market has been much
the same as that prevailing in wheat.
Oats have been scarcely factor in the
dealings in the grain market There
have been slight fluctuations in prices,
but insufficient to attract attention. The
coarser grains will likely continue to
follow the lead of wheat.
STOCKS PROFESSIONAL.
The stock market continues profession
al. The outside public has failed to take
hold, and there have been occurrences Of
late that will likely further delay re-
sumption of the active interest in the
market which is usually shown by the
outside element. The financial situation
is practically unchanged. While the New
