Have you seriously considered the con-

you sufficient surplus money with which
to rebuild your home should the flames
devour it today? Are you delaying the
purchase of ample insurance on account of
the small amount necessary to purchase
projections These are serious questions
for the consideration of property owners.

FEAsTED AND SANG AT SHILOH.
Children's Day There an Enjoyable
Occasion.

At Shiloh Church, eight miles from
Americas, on Saturday, 10th a delight
fnl and instructive programme was
presented by the children of that
church and community
The recitations showed taste in their
selection, and the rendering gave evil
dence of the great conception the little
ones had of their respective pieces.
There was a harmony about the pro-
gramme that lis seldom evidenced on
such occasions.
Those who arranged it surely had in
mind the happy effect such a pro-
gramme would have on the audience.
The choir, composed of dozen or
more very good voices, rendered fine
music for the occasion.
When the hour of 12 had arrived
everybody was invited to assemble
around table laden with all the good
things that ons could wish. While the
programme of singing and recitation
were enjoyed by all, certainly there
was not SO much as a dissenting voice
as to the completeness of the pro-
gramme for this hour
la the afternoon, devotional exer-
cises were held in the church, led by
| the pastor.
The attendance on this occasion was
unusually large, and everybody en-
Joyed themselves immensely. And
ere the time for separation arrived, it
was the desire and the wish of all
present that ''5hiloh" should do this
way again.

TO ELECT EVERY FOUR YEARS.
Longer Terms For County officers is
Suggested.

While the last Legislature turned
down the proposition for a four years
term for county officers, it is safe to
predict that the bill will go through
the coming legislature. From every
part of the state come reports that the
people of all stations are in favor OF
the change. The reason why they IA
vor it is that it will insure a more eff
cient service upon the part of the off
GERS, and save the state from the hurt
full and expensive biennial elections so
distracting to business. Another bill
will also be introduced in the legisla-
ture to elect the governor and other
state officers every four years, but
limiting the gubernatorial incumbent
to only one term of service.

palatable Either as a dessert course

The attention Of those Republican
members Of congress and Republican
newspapers that are clamoring for free
Cuban sugar is called to the fact that
they are running counter TO the ex-
pressed declaration of the party. At the
national Republican convention held in
ST. Louis, in 1896, at which VIM. McKin-
lev was first nominated, the platform
adopted as the declared principles of the
party contained the following plank:
eve condemn the present admins
tration for not keeping faith with the
sugar producers of this country; the
Republican party favors such protection
as will lead 20 the production on Ameri-
can soil OF all the sugar which the Ameri
can people use aud for which they pay
other countries more than 100000, 600
annually"
With the ticket nominated on that
platform the Republican party won a
signal victory in 1896, and started anew
the hope of the American people in the
return of prosperity
1t is now demanded of the Republican
party that it adopt the policy for which
in 1896, it denounced the Democrat
party and administration for having
pursued.
TODD this is to stultify the solemn dec
laration of the Republican party less
than six years ago, and just at time
when the American sugar is being rap
idly developed.
1t is proposed to crush the American
sugar industry in behalf, not Of suffer
