Hope Approves His Record.

Hope Dispatch: One Of the visitors
Of our city attending the opening Of
the Auditorium was c. C. Towner,
Republican candidate for reelection
to the Office Of county attorney. He
expressed himself in strong words Of
praise for the enterprise and public
spiritedness" Of our people in the
building OF such q grand edifice. In
his opinion 1t speaks more for the
business energy Of the town than
could possibly be shown any other
way. Mr.. ToWner has lots Of friends
in this township, both on account OF
his honesty and integrity as a citizen,
and his ability and fsiLhiulness as q
public officer. 1t lie said by those
who are in position to know that there
never has been . time In this county
when the Office Of county attorney has
been more ably flled, or more scono-
micAllJ conducted. This township
gave Mr.. TOWnsr q majority Of IS two
years ago, and viii double It this

Some County Politics.

The Republicans Of Dickinsyn coun'
ty have never had finer outlook for
a sweeping victory than in the present
campaign. The opposition has SO
little organization that it has become
merely personal gum-shoe cam
paign. Most of the candidates have
not contributed penny to the Demo-
cratic papers or the campaign fund.
Theie has not been speech in the
county on that side and only one is
advertised up to Oct. 10. For county
superintendent there is no candidate
on the ticket and in one township
the poll shows that not single vote
will be cast for Parker. Scores Of
Democrats will vote for Roosevelt and

thusiastic and hopeful and will roll
up fine majority for the entire ticket.

Just TO oblige" a depositOr the cash
Ter of a bank in a Western town al
lowed him to overdraw his account

learned there was 10 be an examination
Of the banks account He sent at once
for the depositor. told him of the i'm
pending examination, and asked him TO
make his account good.
Il can't do IL, replied the depositor.
Il haven't the money and l can't posi-
bly, raise it inside of three weeks. What
can l do about it?'
The cashier was in sore straits He
did not have money enough OF his own
to make good the deficit, and FOR long
time ne couldn't think of any way of
bridging the trouble. Suddenly bright
idea dawued on him.
I'm tell you what wen do" ne said
TO the dcpOsitor. You draw draft on
the Shah of Persia for 81 900 and deposit
il in your account. IL will be at least
turned protested Meanwhile you can
slSirmish up the money and make good
the overdraft.'
The depositor laughed at the idea, but
made out the draft on the Shah and
put II in for collection.
.'There'n be a hot time in Persia when
the Shah gets that the deposltor said
to the cashier, and the cashier agreed
with him.
Within the three weeks the depositor
made some collections through his reg
ular business and Strengthened out his
bank account.
About Ssix weeks after the draft was
made on the shah the cashier received
a check from Teheran for 81, coo from
the equerT.y of the Shah. On the back
OF the voucher which accompanied II,
and above the Endorsement OF the equer-
rs, this statement was written:
