DoWsin' her in water till
She's connected with chill.
Seems as though twas skursely right
Givin' her dreadful fright,
Tyin' rags around her tail,
Poundin' on an old tin pail,
Chasin' her around the yard.
Seems as though twas kind of hard
Bein' kicked and slammed and shooed
Cause she wants to raise a brood
She say it's gettin' gay
Jest cause natur' wants its way.
While ago my neis hbor, Penn,
Started Dustin up hen;
Went TO yank her of the nest,
Hen, though, made peck and Jest
Grabbed his thumbnail good and stout,
Like TO yank the darn thing out.
Penn he twltched away and then
Tried again to grab that hen.
But, by ginger, she had spunk,
Cause she took and nlpped a junk
Big's bean right out his palm,
Swallered 1t, and cool and calm
Hi'sted up and yelled "Cah.dah!"
Sounded like she said Hoo rah!"
Wal, sir, when that hen done that,
Penn he bowed, took of his hat,

That mistake is often a fatal one

let any one persuade YOU to try some

Death of SCHUYLER Ware.

Schuyler Ware died at the home of his
son, Adelbert Ware, in Baltimore, Md,
Monday. Mr.. Ware was born in this town
March 10, 1912, and married Miss Harriet
f. Gaines Feb. 26, 1915. Mr.. and Mrs.
Ware began farming on the place now oc-
cupied by Mr.. Mccarthy, near Raponda.
The place was not noted for its fertility,
but by dint of hard work, frugality and in
dustry, Mr.. Ware accumulated a hand
some competency. Mrs. Ware died Dec.
81, 1884, and since then Mr.. Ware has
lived with his children. Mr.. and Mrs.
Ware became members of the Methodist
church at this place early in life and ever
maintained deep interest in the church
of their choice, contributing literally in
support of services. Five children sur
vive: Orrin o. and Herbert A. of this
place, L. A. of Baltimore, Harvey S. of
New York and Mrs. Hattie L. Merrill of
Brattleboro.
Mr.. Ware was a man of sterling worth
and held the esteem and respect of every
one who knew him. He took deep inter
est in the town of Wilmington, where he
had spent so many years. He lived to a
good old age and he goes to his rest with
out an enemy in the world, leaving behind
him record of integrity and honorable
conduct. The body will be brought to this
place for burial and services will be held
at the Methodist church Friday Burial
will be in the village cemetery.

lain and Redway upon vioins. A number
of fine tabeaux were presented, many ar
tces of antiquity were on exhibition and

first NUMBER was One Of J. II.

speeches in which he told the
people how dearly he loved
them aud that he had done
something for their good while
hu was in the Legislature. He
mabe renarIl ks regarding his OPP
ponent, Mr.. Basset. and he
tried to be funny at the expense
of those VINO have dlred to
fight him. He told the truth
when he said that Monroe
County Democracy had honored
him more. than he deserved.
For some reason he forgot to
tell the people here his excuse
for the DEMOCRAT being against
him. But DIS his claim (as we
have heard it did not contain
one grain of truth he perhaps
thought it best not to make
that part ofj his speech here
We do not CenSure him for any
erroneous statements that he

feel sorry for him, because he

just as an example OF the
way the trusts are rObbing the
people we make this statement.
Less than one year ago Ger
tain kind of steel front fence
was sold at II cents per foot.
Today the same fence is sold at
"a cents per foot. The man
who uses thu goods pays the
great increase in price. The
men who do the work get but
very little if any more wages
than they did one year ago.
The difference between the
price one year ago and the
price to day goes into the NAV
of the trusts. OF course the
trusts are for Marks party be,
cause Marks party provides
a way for the trusts to bleed
the people. 1t is also true that
Marks party is for the trusts
because the trusts contribute so
literally to the campaign fund
of the Republican party.
