A peal plowman Talks.

Editor Leader: The Meridian
Press has voiced our sentiments
when itexplains perfectly the pol
icy of office-seekers. 1t is true.
We understand .'the before and
AFTER and especially the AFTER
We know of one or two aspirants
for office in this Lincoln) county,
whose greetings will be natural,
but the majority Of hand-shakes
and compliments have become
repugnant to us, and to quote
again from the Press, I'VE have
tired Of it. =
Personal calls from candidates
and a two hours chat with the
mule or horse standing idle is not
desired by the most of us, for we
have to keep digging away to be
able to meet the taxes, to pay the
merchants, and to supply the
masses with something to eat and
wear. Now what we sincerely
wish is that the candidates would
come together and adopt new plans
for electioneering but we will
mention a plan which we think is
o. k.
Suppose all aspirants for the
various county Offices name a date
for each (rural) precinct, and adj
wise the voters to meet them at
said precincts for the purpose of
soliciting votes; how many mules
and horses would be stopped from
the pillow?
Office-seekers should remember
some of the above hints and
govern themselves accordingly.
It is not necessary for an office
seeker to canvass the county to
make known his record, for it
usually gets there first. We ex-
| pect to vote, but we will vote for
our choice, which choice should
be left to US without being harass-
ed by candidates.

County School Items.

The Board of Supervisors did
a wise thing last year when they
made an appropriation for the ex-
tension of the public school term.
This helped to give an impetus
to educational achievements in
Lincoln county, that has trans
cended the hopes of our most en-
thusiastic workers. In some of
the schools the attendance during
the four months term had been
low, and some of the members of
the board while fayoring the plan,
yet feared that for the longer
term the attendance would be even
lower. So the teachers of the
county schools went to their
terms work knowing that they
were face to face with an oppor-
tunity that meant everything to
our schools. Through rain and
mud and over nearly impossible
roads they have done their duty
and have more than won. As was
predicted, by the county superin
tendent, the attendance has great
" increased. The attendance of
the fourth month has been fully
twelve hundred days greater than
the fourth month of any previous
term.
School buildings have been i'm
proved, up-to-date furniture
bought and not less than twenty
of the schools will further extend
their terms by private subscrip-
ton.
A teachers reading course and
a monthly teachers meeting have
been kept up.
A number of representatives
from beat 2 attended the contest
at the Brookhaven public school
building Friday evening. Some
of them aspire to represent that
district in the gold medal contest.
They were taking notes and ex-
pect to be heard from laGeF.
The contests in elocution, de-
clamation and music for beat /
will take place at the Brookhaven
public school Thursday evening,
April End. The following schools
will be represented: Brook
haven, Pearlhaven, Union Hall,
Mt. Moriah, Saron, Chamberlain.
The district contest at the Good
water postofice will be postponed
until May 10Th.
The regular summer schools are
ordered to open Monday, April
18th. Teachers will appear for
the purpose Of contracting on

Residence Burned.

The residence of Mr.. and Mrs.
Chas. Chrisman was destroyed
by fire last Thursday between 1
and 2 O'Clock in the morning,
with nearly all of its contents.
Mr.. Chrisman was in Canton on a
visit to his father, Judge j. B.
Chrisman, at the time of the con-
fagration and his wife and two
sons we're the occupants of the
residence. When they were arous-
ed, the fire had already made good
Roadway, having started in the
rear near the kitchen. The voIun-
teer fire company, after heroic
effort, succeeded in subduing the
flames when the building was
about half consumed; but to their
surprise and that of onlookers, it
was found at dawn next day that
after they had retired, the flames
had again kindled and naught
was visible of the once roomy and
comfortable home but ashes.
There was insurance for 81, 500
on the building and $3.50 on the
furniture; but the estimated loss
is far greater than both of these
amounts combined.

"When had an attack of the grip

Shortsville, N. Y. "This is the honest
truth. at times kept from coughing
myself to pieces by taking a teaspoon
full of this remedy, and when the cough
ing spell would come on at night |
would take dose and it seemed that
in the briefest interval the cough would
pass off and would go to sleep per-
fectly free from cough and its accom-
panying pains. To say that the remedy
acted as most agreeable surprise is
putting it very mildly. / had no idea
that it would or could knock out the
grip, simply because had never tried
it for such purpose, but it did, and it
seemed with the second attack of
coughing the remedy caused it to not
only be of less duration, but the pains
were far less severe, and had not used
the contents of one bottle before Mr..
Grip had bid me adieu." For sale by

THEATR lCAL.
Kelley Shannon Company.


1t is not difficult to understand the
success made by Mr.. Herbert Kelley
and Miss Effie Shannon, since they be-
gan their starring career over six years
ago. Every play that they have been
identified with as stars, has seen them
doing the same consistent and artistic
work that marked their connection with
the famous Frohman Lyceum Stock
Company, and earned such high praise
at the hands of the press of New York
City.
In all their years before the public,
they have never been received with such
acclaim, as they have in William Gil
lette's dramatization of Conan Doyle's
Sherlock Holmes" 1t may be well to
note here that the same support which
earned such high encomiums last sea-
son, has been retained intact.
Mr.. Danied V. Arthur, who is manag
ing these sterile artists. has provided
them with an entirely new production,
far exceeding the one they used in their
previous tour, in massiveness and beau
ty.
The setting of the first act is an
exact reproduction of the drawing-room
in the London mansion of the late Dis
raeli, Earl of Deaconstield. whose lit

erary contributions alone would have
made him famous. had he not been
Prime Minister of England and founder
of the Conservative party. Its rich
colorings and tapestried walls is sight
worthy of the lovers of the beautiful.
The fourth act setting, as a reproduc-
ton of the surgery of the late Sir
Morrill, Mackenzie, England's greatest
physician, who is no doubt well re-
membered as the surgeon who attended
the father of the present Emperor of
Germany in his last illness The first
scene second act, is the reproduction of
an under ground room in the notorious
Whitechapel district in London which
time after time has given to the world
the most startling horrors in the annals
of criminology Every effort has been
made to provide this production with
the minutest detail with the atmos-
phere and coloring suggested by Conan
Dayle's masterpiece OF fiction, "Sher-
lock Holmes"

appear at Larson's Theatre on Monday,

A Friend of the Family.

Speaking of "A Friend of the Family,
the Seattle Pr. says: Depending as a
farce does upon the number of funny
situations, "A Friend of the Family" is
particularly pleasing and gives play
goers an opportunity for hearty laugh
ter. There is the usual case of mis-
taken identity, and the husband who is
misunderstood by his wife. The author
of the play, Robert Pohl, has woven the
threads of the story together in hope
less tangle and is seems impossible
that they can ever become disentan-
gled
Emile lie Croix takes the part of a
fiery Frenchman, who is bent ON secur-
ing the lives of those who interfere with

a rather striking part as the clergyman
who imbibes too freely and is unsteady
in his gait. He makes his entrances and
exits in a manner that calls for much
merriment.
