date will be Submitted to Them-Ex-
pected that 1t viii be Left to the
Primary Much Feeling Between the
Candidates.
w. E. Glasscock has issued call
for the county executive committee
to get together They are TO meet
on next Monday according to this
call. They are called together to
decide about the senatorial matter.
Mr.. Sturgiss has asked that this be
submitted to the primary and Mr.,
Grant says that he is in favor of it.
Each of them says that he does
not want to go to Charleston unless
the majority of the voters of the
county signify their desire to have
HIM GO This being the case they
are each willing to leave it to the
primary.
1t is expected that the committee
will aeeede to this and the campaign
will be transferred to the voters of
the county. There will be the liv-
liest campaign that the county has
ever seen. This will end on May
18th when the republicans will vote
on the various candidates.
Charles A. Goodwin has been at
Fairmont to see the Marion county
people. He did not do much talk
ing about the result of the visit but
from every thing that can be learned
there is strong Sturgiss sentiment
in that county. Meredith is for him
and the crowd that Meredith trains
with is of course the same way.
1t is possible for either man to
carry this county and lose out in the
convention. 1t will be a fight to
the finish between them. They have
not been able to compromise very
much during the past few days and
the events which have taken place
recently have not made them feel
any to kindly toward each other
Mr.. Sturgiss admitted in con
ference day or so ago that his
main determination was to beat Mr..
Grant for the nomination. Other
wise it is not thought that he would
be candidate at all. He has re-
fused to get off and the latter says
that if he is to be beaten out of the
nomination by Sturglss it must be
in stand up fight and he will not
back down.

At the conclusion of the sermon by
Rev. Woodland the following little
poem, dedicated to the bereft one, was
read:
"He has passed beyond the shadow;
Loved-ones, would you have him stay
Here. where pain and sin and sorrow
Throw their shadow DER life's wav?
God, who pities human weakness,
Saw your love so pure and true;
And has recalled from earth your loved
one,
And will keep him safe for you.
He has passed beyond the shadow;
Shall we murmur or repine?
Gone from earth's cold chilling winter
To fairer summer cline.
He has passed beyond the shadow,
And while we're weeping here below;
Not for him so early taken,
But that We shall miss him so.
Could we see beyond the shadow,
Those fair scenes of peace and rest,
They would comfort all his loved ones
S, knowing he is with the blest.
May God help US the crown to win:
Help us the cross to bear;
Help us to cleanse our lives of sin,
That we may meet him over there.

A Thousand Dollars Thrown Away

Mr.. w. W. Baker, of Plainyiew, Neb.,
writes: "My wife had lung trouble for
over fifteen years. We tried a number
of doctors and spent over thousand
dollars without any relief. She was
very low and l lost all hope, when a
friend suggested trying Foley's Honey
and Tar, which 1 did; and thanks be to
this great remedy it saved her life. She
is stronger and enjoys better health
than she has ever known in ten years.
We shall never be without Foley's
Honey and Tar and would ask those af.
tiicted to try it," w. A. Alexander.
