Whether or not the final course at
a meal shall be toothpicks is a
snooted question. Many say no,
and have good reasons for their
decision. A handsome woman and
her young daughter entered a

and fighting the mosquitoes. 1t
therefore seemed inevitable that
the COWS could not give their usual
quantity of milk. We did not
remember in the history of the
country that the pestilent flies and
mosquitoes could ever before d1min-
sh the supply of mix. 1t has now
become a question whether the
owners of COWS would not gain
something to have coarse netting
spread over their most valuable
COWS.
AS this is the best dairy season,
as far as pasture goes, known IN
twenty five years, the owners OF COWS
are dazed to think That they must
lose money out of this very abund'
ance of pasturage which is caused
by the heavy rains and hot atmo

had neither senator nor represent

From 1890 to 1899 Murray county
had two men in the legislature, a
republican and a democrat, Patrick
Gildea, democrat, having defeated
Geo. w. Wilson at the, polls. This
left Mobiles again without a repre-
sentative.
From 1892 to 1894 Murray and
Mobiles we're equally represented.
From 1894 to 1896 the two counties
had each p representative.
In 1896-1S9S they again broke
even.
Since 1898 Mr.. Shell, of Mobiles
has been senator and Mr.. Grass OF
Murray representative.
TO sum up:
During the past sixteen years,
Murray has been continuously repre-
sented IN the Legislature by Murray
county men-one of the term by
two men-nine terms in sixteen
years.
During the same time Mobiles
county has had but three repre-
sentative terms and one senatorial,
leaving six years during which
Murray ''hogged the whole thing: y
Now take note of the facts that
FIVE ninths of the people Of this d.
strict have ninths of the Mobiles
and four ninths in Murray and that
five men are entitled to more voice

In speaking of a probable future
succession to Congress from the
second district, the writer on state
politics in the Minneapolis Journal,
has this to say:
James T. McCleary will not have
any serious opposition for renomina-
ton this year.
Two years from now Herbert J.
Miller OF Luverne, will be a candi-
date for the republican nomination
in the second district.
Strenuous efforts have been made
to got Senator Miller in the race
this year, but he has persistently
declined. Had the insurrection
against McCleary over the Cuban
reciprocity matter come earlier, he
would probably have gone after the
nomination, but it was felt too late
in the day to make an effective fight
againt the McCleary organization,
and Senator Miller kept out. He
promised his friends however, that
he would get in he field early two
year from now and make a fight
to win.
Senator Miller is one of the best
known mon in Minnesota politics,

postofice department has been in
formed by an authority on the live
stock market that it's adjustments

the raisers of live stock in the

Girls take my advice don't get
married. Your husband will take
you with him beofre you marry him
but after he will not have time
he will have to take u cowd of young
people and you will have to stay at
home. When you wish to go and
ask him to take you he will be
to tired. He did not marry you for
company he got enough Of that
before you got married that was
why he staid half the night was to
get through talking to you and not
be bothered with you after marriage
all he wants you for after marriage
is to stay with his children while
he goes and has good time. My

A few days ago gentleman in
the intrei or of the state visited
creamery and asked the OPERATOR,
~'How many pounds OF milk do you
receive day. He replied "Only
5000 pounds; yesterday it was 5000.
Inasmuch as the grass is excellent
and abundant, the stranger naturally
inquired "What is the cause Of the
;shortage2' The reply was that the
flies in the fields were so annoying
and SO savage that they prevented
the COWS from eating their usual
quantity of grass, and thereby the
quantity of milk was diminished.
The gentlemen thought this was
ridiculous, but when he read that a
number of milk dealers from Mil.
waukee went ut into the country
to examine the mosquito and fly pest
on the miclh cows he recognized
that the first statement was strictly
true:
The Milwaukee committee report
ed that though the pasturage ever
where was abundant, the mosquitoes
in the grass so vexed and bothered
the COWS that they spent most of
their time herding under the trees

The millennium is now scheduled
for 1905, and unless the people move
a little more briskly down in St.
Louis it is likely to conflict with
the exposition. AS between the
millennium and summer show in
st. Louis, give us the millennium
every time. We speak of the mil
lennium with the more confidence
because its approach has been pre-
dicted by child in Warsaw, who
mas reached the matured, prohecy-
ing age of three monts. This may
seem a little young, but the child
lis of Jewish parentage. and the
.Je VS. are the smartest people on
ssarth. Up to the present time we
have made no special plans, as the
way we shall spend millennium, but
Chicago is good enough for ordinary
purposes and unless the trusts get
a bit too rampant we shall stay
right here, with an occasional trip
20 the east to see if the millennium
,as any sectional bias. If the millen-
mum means thousand years Of rain
it seems to be already under way.

One of the largest BURBERRY crops
that Northern Wisconsin has yield
ed for several years is now being
harvested. Next week will see
heavy shipment to this city and
southwark also from Scion Springs
and other berry center. For several
days the Indian the half breed
throughout the berry region in the
country have been gathering into
camp to be ready for the first pick
ing. The usual way for the pickers
to work is to go at it systematically
under the direction of some one who
usually contracts to take all they
pick at 80 much per bushel. The
ruling price to the pickers this
season will be from 81 to $1.25 per
bushel. The Indians get together,
sometimes dozens Of them in one
camping spot, which is located
handy to some lake or stream, and
from that center they strip all the
blueberry patches in the vicinity.
Scarcely an idle Indian can be found
in the country while the berry
season lasts. The crop this year will
not only be large but the berries
will be of fine quality. There has
been so much rain that the sandy
soil has been kept moist and the
berries have grown large and solid.
1t is expected that the crop of two
years ago will be surpassed.-Tom-

The principle argument set forth
by Mr.. Grass and his supporters is
that Mobiles county has alwa VS.
''hogged the'whole thing' and this
why Mr.. Grass should receive the
nomination from the republican
voters and he wants to be ''hogging

act on this opponent who is rightly
entitled to the support of every re-
publican in Mobiles and Murray
county. The Adrian Guardian has
taken from the records just how
each county has been represented
and we ask our reader TO carefully
read and consider the position
Mobiles county occupies on the roll
of honor.
