Country Fair.

The phenomenal success Of one day
fairs in this section Of Missouri is
healthy indication. 1t shows that the
farmers take a pride in the products
of their land and in the excellence Of
their stock and that there is a leigh
borly feeling prevalent among the in
habitants Of the country. 1t reveals
disposition to throw aside money
making for day or two IN order
that friends may come together in a
days recreation. In the olden days
the Jews observed the Feasts of the
Harvests. The rural fair is the near
est approach the people of the present
day have to any thing Of the kind.
If there is any spectacle calculated to
make person thankful for the boun-
teo usness of the Missouri harvest, tee
magnificent display that is common at
the rural fair will do it.

years now and their long experience in
catering to the trade of this locality
enables them to select just what the
people want, and at the best prices to
be had. The new goods will arrive
next week and the line will include
all the new things in Ladies and gents
furnishings, dress goods, underwear
and everything in their line that is

HUDSON
NOMINATED
Republicans Select Con.
8ressional Candidate.

Hon. Fred Hudson of Chillicothe
was nominated for congressman from
the I'd district by the Republican con-
vention which convened at Paris
W ednesday. His only opponent was
Hon. Homer Hall of Trenton, the
nomination being made on the first
ballot. Delegates from every county
in the district were present. Judge
0. F. Smith of Charlton county was
elected chairman and Hugh G. Smith
of Grundy county secretary. Hon.
Fritz Sasse of Charlton county was
selected as chairman Of the congress-
ional committee. The resolutions
adopted by the conventions indorsed
the administration of President
Roosevelt, and declared that the best
interests of the country demanded
his reelection. The comprehensive
and fearless declaration of principles
expressed in the presidents letter Of
acceptance were commended, together
with the principles outlined by the
national platform. In regard to
state affairs, the convention expressed
the conviction that the highest welfare
of the state at large could only be
achieved by having its affairs admin
istered by officials in harmony with
the republican national convention,
and the voters were congratulated on
the present opportunities for such a
result by the election of the republic
can ticket, headed by Hon. Cyrus P.
Walbridge.

Vacancy Filled.

At the meeting of the republican
central committee held in Linneus on
Wednesday, Sept. I, 1904, the formal
declination of James T. Hamilton, of
Laclede, to accept the nomination for
judge of the county court for the west
ern district, was presented and accept
ed. Mr.. Hamilton was unable to ac-
cept place on the county ticket be-
cause of the precarious condition of
his wife's health, as we'll az his own.
We are sorry to state that at this
time both are under the care Of q
physician. Mr.. Hamilton felt that
under these conditions he would not
be able to make an aggressive cam
paign such as he would like to make
and such as the party would expect
him to make. The county convention
autho rized the central committee to
fill any and all vacancies which might
occur from any cause whatsoever and
under thit authority the committee at
its meeting in this city on Monday,
Sept. 12, 1904, filed the vacancy by
unanimously selecting Judge Worth
ington Morehead, of Meadville. We
believe that the committee in its selec-
ton of candidate for that important
position acted wisely and well, as
Judge Morehead has wide acquaint-
ance over the district and is recog-
nized as gentleman of splendid quail
ifications. For many years he has
been identified with the material de-
velopment of Linn county and has
contributed largely to that end. He
is a gentleman of excellent judgment
and business capacity and would rem
der faithful and efficient service as a
member of the county court. His
candidacy will appeal strongly to
those voters who want the best ability
obt tainable to serve them as members
of the county court.-News.

AbceSs,

w. H. Harrison, Cleveland, Miss,
writes Aug. Is, 1902: 81 want to say
word of praise for Ballards Snow
Liniment. I Istepped on nail, which
caused the cords of my leg to contract
and an abcess to rise in my knee, and
the doctor told me that would have
a stiff leg, SO one day went to j. F..
Lords drug store (who is now in Den
yer, Colo.) He recommended bottle
of Snow liniment; I got a 50c size and
it cured my leg. 1t is the best lini-
ment in the world. Assesses, with few
exceptions, are indicative of consti-
patton or debility. They may how
ever result from blows or from foreign
bodies introduced into the skin or flesh
such as splinters, thorns, etc. Sold by

The Monarch Bread.

The Special Premium for the best
loaf of bread made from Monarch
Flour was won by Mrs Thomas Jones.
It was a hard matter to determine the
best bread made from this celebrated
-four as every loaf was splendid bread
and would take the prize almost any
where. 1 wish to thank the ladies
who contested for the prize and The
Monarch will certainly please you.
The first premium given for best
cake was won by Mrs. Day. The
cake was made from Monarch -four
and surely deserved the premium.

The Marceline band is all right.

grounds.
Although they we're not on thu pro-
gram the county candidates were no
small part of the show.
There were not as many entries in
the hog and sheep departments as
there should have been.
The crowd was good natured one
and not single disturbance of any
kind happened to mar the good feel
ing that existed.
The honey display of Geo. W. Es-
tes, was the finest of the kind ever
made here and attracted much atten-
ton and elected many favorable COM
ments.
j. A. Yount brought in a sample
of third crop alfalfa Al inches high

than they are at present in this local.
