night of January -, and helped him
self to Jug. We are unable to make
any definite statement in regard to
the contents of the jug but we presume
it was vinegar or jam.
We listened to an able sermon
few evenings ago but the delivery was
so furious that we actually permitted
some OF the most vital preceptS To es-
cape while we were giving attention to
the vehement antics of the speaker.
However, we absorbed sufficient to
make US conscious of benefit.
G. A. w. COlee one of our most
enterprising citizens, who aside from
his agricultural pursuits has become
a prominent factor in the EdmundSon
Nursery business, has returned from
a recuperative sOjourn in the Nation
al Sanitarium at Martinsville, Ind.
Business called him at once to Perry.
We drove l3 miles through a black
muddy night and departed with a
| precious fifty cent piece to hear Hob
son lecture, and this morning we feel
| ourselves in possession of q big profit
on our investment. Those who went
to hear hair-lifting tale about the
sinking of the Merrimac were disap-
pointed. Instead of tanning our
martial passions into a flame with
bloody tales of war he made us to
|
| peace conference. Is il not little
strange for great warrior to bring
us message of peace and keep us
Straining after him as he threads his
way through grand policies of uni
versal good will? The circumstance
that Mr.. Hobson is candidate for
congress from Alabama caused him to
drift into politics and here is where
our reflections took humorous turn.
Yes, Mr.. Hobson, we can see very
clearly the crying need of a stronger
| Republican party in "Old Alabama"
but, for the life of me, cannot catch
the point when you talk of strengthen
ing the Democrat party in Iowa.
Prejudice, however, may possibly be
preventing me from broadening here.
IL so, l beg pardon and acknowledge
my error. But what we believe mat
tiers little, suffice to say that Audubon
county has been impressed by one of
Americas noblest citizens. His love
for Justice and right is something re-
narkable.
JUST AS WELL BE GLAD.
We're always chasing happiness
But rarely can we grab 1t,
Because you see we have not got
The being-happy habit.
Which, had we woven carefully
Among our youthful tissue,
Would make this being-happy now,
A very simple issue.
How very sorrowful to see
A man grow pale and sad
Before self-made deformities!
He'd just as well be glad.
