friends during their stay at Yates.
Farewell! Troop 3D." We wish you

season. The Williamsport country
has had considerably more rain than
the Linton country this season, and
as a result the potato crop is in much
better condition up there than down
here. Yaking the United States as a

L. Yeater, the longtime chairman OF
the democratic county committee, has
been democrat Through good times
whether he was postmaster or
whether he wasn't postmaster. His
Course has been different from a num-
Der OF democrats in the ounty, who
attend republican caucuses and con-
ventjons, but the returns from whose
precincts show that at every election
they vote the democratic state and ma
tiona' ticket" And it cannot be de-
nied that the democrat who talked
was right.
A couple Of weeks ago Mr.. and Mrs,
Louis Dornbush, of the Westfeld
neighborhood lost by death their
youngest child, Il baby few months
old. Wednesday little Willie, about
two years and a half old, ran to meet
his grandmother, who was driving up
to the Dornbush home. His grand
mother stopped the horse to take Will
lie into the buggy. AS the little fellow
stepped on one of the wheels to get in
the horse started. One of Willie's legs
was caught in the wheel, pressed
against one Of the shafts and broken.
Yesterday his mother brought binl to
Linton, to DR.. Shocaey, who set the
broken bone, and there will probably
be no permanent lalnenass.

There have been numerous prairie

was burned over. Last Friday a fire

II is amusing to hear some of the
democrats talk about what they call
Himperialism" and s'militarism," and
claim that the liberties of the people
are in danger. What nauseating bosh!
The copperheads talked the same way
during the civil war. They were sure
the big army of volunteers would not
even if the rebels were conquered
allow themselves to be quietly dis
banded and seat home. The soldiers
in arms at the close of the war were
more than million, and yet nobody's
liberties were endangered. The great
armies melted away into civil life
without a ripple on the political or So
cial sea. The soldiers of the United
States are intelligent and patriotic,
and any president, general or politi-
clan who would suggest to them a
revolution or the oppression Of the
people would receive rough treat
ment. When you hear man bemoan-
ing the increase of our army and the
policy of our government in enlarging
the volume of our trade by the acqui-
sition of colonies, set it down that he
is talking to distract your attention
from the suicidal 16-to-l. free-silver
plank Of the democratic platform,
which he will tell you is a joke and
doesn't mean anything. The demo-
cratic party pursued the same policy
during the civil war. The northern
minority Of that party-its southern
majority being in armed rebellion
against the goyernment--did all it
could to prevent a successful conclu-
sion Of the war. AS late even as 1864
democratic conventions declared the
war to be Il failure. Drue, good
many democrats went to the front;
but most OF them, after the war was
over, took good care to vote with the
republicans--even unto this day. The
Record believes that before the con-
clusion of this campaign the apti-war
cry will be as unpopular as the copper
head anti-war cry was in the sixties.

The woodmen Installation.

On last Thursday night the Wood
men and their families gathered at
the hall to witness the public install
lation. The night was an elegant
one and large crowd was in attend
ance. About 9 O'Clock the guests
took their seats and the installation
was begun. Deputy Edwards was
the installing officer and the follow
ing officers were installed for the
ensuing year: ]. d. Wehrfe, V. C;
O. Hamilton, w. A; Geo. B. Cones,
Banker; John Elliott, Clerk; R. T.
Norman, Escort; F. NJ. Rosenberg,
Sentry; F. 1. Bennett, Watchman;
F. w. Flick, Manager.
After the installation ceremony
the guests were invited to be seated
at the banquet table. About 900
plates were set and sumptuous
feast was served by twelve walters.
The supper was under the super
vision of Mr.. Clark Williams and
was one of the best ever served in
Meade. The Woodmen are a unit
in rendering to Mr.. Williams their
appreciation of the excellent manner
in which he prepared the banquet.
In fact credit is due to all the Wood
men who in any way assisted to
make the affair a success, and no
one shirked any responsibility.
Quite number of the invited guests
commented on the supper very high
ly. 1t has so inspired the the mem
bers that hereafter it will probably
be yearly occurance.
