Dickens Said She Was IL woman.

1t is said of George Eliot's literary
style that its most marked character
istic is sympathy. And long before
her identity had become known Charles
Dickens. singularly acute critic of
his own art, detected her sex by this
undercurrent of womanly sympathy.
He had been reading Scenes of Cler
ical Life" which had been sent to him
by the publisher. and on putting the
book aside he said. "Well. this writer
possesses great ability, but | should
say. despite the name, that George
Eliot is n woman"

the people OF Harrison County,
with but one seeming object in
view aud that object their election
to office, abolished long establis-
ed custom of electing members of
the Board of Supervisors. We be-
lieve such radical change should
only be made upon petition of the
people OF the county, and after a
due consideration, and not In the
interested a clique or Office seeker.
A neglect of the Board to con slider
the matter and the summary manner
of the action of Messrs. Gilmore
and Hall smacks too much of trikc-
ster to meet public favor, and de-
serves, as we believe the condem-
nation of the voters of Harrison
county.
Fourth. We are opposed to the
raising of the County Auditors
salary three hundred ($3OO.) doll
ars, or "ny other amount, without
first considering the subject, aud
only then when respectable num-
Der of tag payers of the county in
dictate the necessity for such adj
vance of salary. We incline to
the opinion that the members of
the Board should not permit their
favors to fall upon any favorite at
the expense of the county. Let US
select men for office who are not
suspected of acts to promote their
own Individual interest by election
to Office. Those who come before
the people for their suffrage, must
come with clean hands and not as
tricksters. Can Gilmore and Hall
do so? Give us good men, men
above suspision of sectionalism,
competent men, men, we care not
rs to their locality in the county,
and we will give such candidates
our hearty support Politics does
not enter SO largely into the COM
ing county election this fall, for
We see old hard shell republicans
whooping it up for Gilmore (the
80 called democracy, and demo-
Gratis opposed to Gilmore. Strange
ANT il? Something rotten in
Denmark. Both parties cant be in
the right; if ha is democrat why
are the Logan republicans SO anx-
ious to elect him, it was never so
before. Better drop him and take
a man whom ali can support.

committee they adj urned to the
prayer meeting room of the church
and we're received by Miss Edith
Amen, who wore very pretty
pink silk gown brought from
Japan by her brother.
The room was very prettily
decorated with flags, Japanese
banners, potted aud cut flowers.
The country to be stu lied was
Japan. Mrs Dsw.ll presided.
After the opening exercises Miss
Turner read q psper on the his-
tory of Japan; Mrs Boise on the
Women of Japan. Mrs Amen
spoke briefly of Our Stations aud
the Works being done by our
Missionaries there. Mrs Dewell
conducted a series of questions
about Japan, the answer being
given by members present. Miss
Edith Amen sang a very beauti-
full solo. After the business had
been transacted the ladies were
requested to spend a social hour
and to examine and admire the
curios from far-away Japan.
The committee in charge were
assisted in serving coffee and
doughnuts by the Misses Edith
Amen, Ella Fensler, Della Harris
and Bessie Fensler, who were at

A Peculiar Condition,

Never IN the history OF county
political party organization has 80
peculiar condition existed in this
county as at this time.
The Chairman Of the Democratic
County Central Committee, from
some cause, failed to give suffi-
Gent notice for the meeting Of the
convention to afford time for due
consideration as to candidates to
be nominated, and therefore, the
convention, on deliberation, took
recess to Friday Ostober 3rd, to
meet again at same place and at
same hour.
The Republican Co. Convention
having been called to meet on the
23rd inst, it seems that GER
tain republican leaders became
alarmed for fear the democratic
adjournment was political trick,
which suspicion scared them al
most out of their boots, causing
them to adjourn their convention
indefinitely! For party claim
ing a majority of about 600, such
move wac, to say the least. verv
laughable to disinterested pub
lie.
That a very respectable num-
Der of democrats of the coun-
ty are unalterably opposed to
the election of the present
APPOINTED Board of Supervis-
ors, is true, and a due respect
for the opinions of those who
differ with US in this matter is to
state our objection to their cleo
ton or nomination.
First. The member from this
district has served the people in
that Office several terms and was
at last defeated, largely, by the
very persons who are now trying
to move heaven and earth to Sc
cure his nomination. Why?
The old district from which he
was former member, do not want
him; not township on the west
side of the county will vote for
either his nomination or election,
and will, without regard to party,
do all in their power, consistent
with honor to defeat him. Knowing
these facts and desiring time for
consideration, the convention took
time for consideration.
Second. The people, especially
on the west side of the county, are
in favor of a thorough system of
ditching and drainage of the wet
and overfowed lands of the county
sufficient to reclaim such land in
the interest of agriculture and the
people of the county, the same to
be done at the earliest day posi-
BILE and at the expense of the land
benefited, and consistent with the
Importance of such improvement.
Such improvement is not being
favored by the members of the
Board of Supervisors who were
appointed to their position.
Third. We are opposed to the
abolition of the Supervisor Dis.
trict system in the election of the
members of Office thereof, as has
been the rule in this county for
many years, and favor return to
the District system. The present
Board of Supervisors, without pc
tition or request of any portion of

1t would be hard to imagine more
delightful day than that emf Eyed by
the ladies who yesterday responded TO
the invitations sent out by Mrs l. A

her birthday at her pleasant farm home
three miles west of town.

five, included all the ladies whose
homes are connected with Rural Tele

of ladies from the Valley, Mrs Bird
and Mrs Holiingsworth of Council

day, making the drive to the farm q
pleasure in itself The guests toyed
with fancy work while tongues ran
merrily, or wandered at will through
the lawn which was aglow with tirw.
ers and sunshine. At one o'clock din
neI was served in the dining room,
which was in yellow, green and white
The table was lovely to look at and the
dinner embraced every good thing
produced on this farm from fried
chicken TO pumpkin pie, supplemented
by tropical fruits, and everyone did
ample justice to the menu. Misses
Ella Fisher and Henrietta Harder did
service in the dining room.
Everyone fingered until late in the
afternoon trying to make the day
pleasure last As long as possible, and
then drove nome through the length
enNng shadows reviewing the pleasures
of the day which had been SO free from
care and 80 full of happiness.
