We are sorry that we made a mistake last week in regard to the time of the wedding of Miss Edna Taylor to MT. ". l.. Angus. The ceremony will be solemized on Tuesday, Feb. 24th 1903, at the Methodist church, 8:30 p. m. Relatives and friends are cordial ly invited.
 On last Thursday one of our boys Byron Walker, was badly bruised by riding on the local at Augusta. It is ten thousand won- ders, he is still in the land of living. On that very same local, that very same evening, we no ticed Walter Raney, Dent Perkins and some other boys riding as the freight was doing it's switch ing here. In giving this matter publicity, we are prompted by no other motive than the welfare of our boys, the flower of our gover
 ment in whose hands our all will soon be placed. We have heard the boys condemned and the off cials condemned but the News man is going to place the blame on papa and mamma. The Bible says Rear a boy in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it, on words to that effect. Some say l have done all 1 can. God pity such. You know why boys loaf around on our streets so much because home is not what it ought to be. Make your home pleasant and your son and daughter will sing from the fitness of their soul, "There is no place like home. " Will you let your daughter loaf the streets, smoke cigarettes and pipes, loiter abont the depot and ride the cars? No! If you can manage your daughter, why not control your sons and make men out of them. The loafers dodge the grand jouries and grand jury dodgers are criminals. Ii they have not committed crime, they are aiding and abetting iii it's con- cealment. We appeal to the par ents to make home pleasant guard your sons and daughters and blame yourselves for your negligence along these lines. If this train riding is not stopped, it is only a question of time nntil some home will be robbed of a jewel or only a piece of it left.

 We never heard of so many in. dustrious people in our life. Near ly every burg in the County is deserted. Some are of visiting relatives andifriends;some seek ing employment at timber camps; and still others ars aroppd lodging everyone who might be liable to serve legal pro- cess. In the meantime, Circuit Court and the Grand Jury are in session. These busy bodies will no doubt be through visiting; hunting jobs and looking like a populist after an election as soon as the Grand Jury is discharged. We would rather have ar easy conscience and visit relatives, timber camps and look like a pop after a Wynne Conven tion in more suitable weather, when na- ture arrays herself in robes of green and automobiles of ever lasting su unshine.

THE LUMBER TRADE.
Items Of Interest Clipped From the
Trade Papers.

Trade Papers.
A spruce log was brought into a mill
at Tacoma which was fourteen feet in
diameter at the butt and forty feet long.
The bureau OF Forestry says there are
large areas Of waste land in the New
England states that are growing up to
white pine, and if this growth is pro.
tected it will soon become valuable, tim
her. When it is remembered that
spruce is growing in Maine faster than
it is being cut, one wonders if the tim
Der famine will show up on or before
resurrection morning.
Coast buyer for an eastern COM
pany recently received quotation from
a mill company OF fifteen dollars on a
certain order. The buyer reported that
he had been quoted by another mill nine
dollars and fifty cents for the same stock.
The mill man wrote back that the lower
price quoted was complimentary to him
as a buyer, but not so to the manufac-
turer, who made the figures. This is the
experience that buyers run into on this
Coast, and plays havoc with price lists
and unsettles the trade.
The Legislature of Florida has passed
a law requiring railroad companies to
furnish adjustable side and end stakes
for fiat cars. A similar law is needed in
the Pacific Northwest states. Here the
lumbern en- are not only compelled to
furnish the stakes, but are required to
pay freight charges. This is manifestly
unjust. The lumbermen are perfectly
willing to provide the material but why
they should pay freight on what should
be part OF the equipment passes under
standing.
The shipments OF red cedar shingles so
far this year are holding up remarkably
well, although prices are pretty badly
demoralized. The entire trouble with
the single business is oyer-production,
and the sooner the single manufac-
turers make up their minds to cut
shingles only eight months in the year
the sooner will prices become stable and
the bugaboo of over-production done
away with. This matter is largely in
the hands OF the wholesalers, who should
discourage the practice of manufacturers
operating when the market is weak. A
cessation OF business is at times essen
tial in the manufacture Of shingles, and
it ought to be good business PROPOSE.
ton on the part of the wholesaler to re.
fuse to give orders to mills when the
market shows signs OF weakness.

platform plank on this subject. Here is a
question OF vital imlmrtance-a question
which involves The rights and interests
Of the people Of he whole country and
the renryaniz-rs are impotent to D'ing
any relief h,canse the same tnancler'
who threatened "A p,nic If silver was re-
stored are now threatening panic II the
trusts are interieted With.
No wonder the reurganizers were UNI
willing to risk one OF their own men on
such platform. II they had nominated
one of their own kind his candidacy on
such a platform would have aroused
widespread protest, but instead OF that
they place the patty standard in tue
hands of Hon. J. 3. Sullivan, one of the
abest and staunchest of the silver dem
ocrats whose county and congressional
district made gallant fight for re-
affirmation. Judge Caldwell and the
other nominees were also faithful to the
party in 1896. The democrats OF Iowa
have therefore to choose between good
ticket on cowardiy platform partly good
and republican ticket running on rs
bad platform as could we'll be con-
ceived.
What should they do?
Vote for Sullivan and his associates on
the ticket, but continue to fight for Kan
sas City platform principles. The real
contest will come next year when nation.
al delegates are selected.
Let the loyal democrats, by consider
ing the unfarness shown by the reor-
ganizers this year, learn what to expect
in case the party goes back into the con-
troll OF the Cleveland crowd, and let the
defeat suffered by the friends OF the
Kansas City platform in the late con-
vention arouse them to battle royal for
the preservation of the integrity OF the
party. If those who are earnestly
against iutocracy will attend the pri-
maries and conventions and then in
struct all delegates they will be spared
the humiliation which they have just
suffered in Iowa.
The fight for the reaffirmation of the
last national platform and the building
OF new platform in line with it is on
and must continue until complete vic
tory is won.
