1t is surprising that at this coming
election there will be so MANY young
men in Berkeley county cast their vote
for president the first time. Before
exercising this sacred duty it is worth
the while of any young man to study

party he intends to affiliate. Ia view

doubtless, will find many things advo.

Lest We Forget.

The political fight is now on in this
county. Candidates of both parties
are earnestly insisting for recognition
at the polls on the 8th of next Novem-
Der. Unpleasant things, no doubt,
have already entered into this cam
paign. but after the election shall
have passed the defeated candidates
will soon forget the actions of the sue
cessful nominees and everything will
soon be right again.
1t is absolutely necessary that we
have two parties; one to act as cheek
for the other. But campaign should
be fought out honorably so that the ones
who are defeated can easily congratu-
late the winners. We do not see the
necessity of attacking a mans charac-
ter unless he has very bad one to
bitterly attack his Political record is
ad enough.
We have no hesitancY whatsoever
in stating facts in the columns of this
paper even if it hurts the individual
members of the opposing rarity. IL is
our business to point out what we
think are errors in the administration
of the comfy court, and we do this
without fear or favor. From time TO

best that could be done was to save
such of the household stuffs as could
be reached. 1t required hard work to
save the barn, as the wind was in that
direction and the building was
showered with sparks and burning
brands. Mr.. Crawford had $700 on the

to never overwhelm the department

place. This is red tape gone to seed.

BUSY TIMES.

A correspondent at McGregor states
that Kramer Bros. advertised q sale OF

with Saturday, Dec. 10th. That day
there was larger crowd in town than
we have had since '"Woodmen Day."
and larger for business purposes than
we have had for forty years. Over
$50 teams we're counted and people
crowded off every tain. all day long.
All of the stores in town enjoyed
enormous sales but Kramer Bros.
headed the list with $l,400 receipts.
Since thenstheir sales have run from
$500 to $1,000 day and the crowds
keep coming. During the rush the
firm had use for twenty-five clerks.
Their sale was widely advertised and
that is what drew the multitudes.
