Great Reception.

Hon. o. w. H. Wright, Demo
cratic candidate for Congress,
spent last Saturday, as arranged,
in Albany, meeting the voters of
that enterprising little hamblet,
and making new friends prepara-
tory to the battle of ballots to be
cast on Nov. 9th.
Judge Wright arrived there
about ten O'Clock a. M, and was
enthusiastically received by Re
publcans as we'll as Democrats.
The town was full of people and
everyone seemed glad that so dis
tinguished a gentlman as the
Judge was there.
At one O'Clock p. m, he address
ed a large and interested crowd
assembled in front of the hotel
porch from which the address was
delivered. The listeners were
more than one-half Republicans,
and all seemed gratified to hear
such an able address. The crowd
seemed to possess much more en-
thuslasm than was manifested
when Hon. Albert Douglas spoke
In the same town.
After the address many Repub-
licans assured the candidate that
he could depend lpon this support
at the polls. The speech was one
of the best ever delivered ir Albany
and many favorable comments
We're heard on all sides after the
speech closed.-Athens Journal.

Cold Winter.

That the coming winter is going
to be the hardest one for the past
twenty years, there are an abund
ance of signs to show and among
them it may be mentioned that.
The corn husks are foot and q
half thick and the stalks all lean
to the west.
The frogs have already begun
searching for the bottom of mill
ponds and mud holes to find out
the deepest places.
The geece, ducks and chickens
are growing a coat of fur under
their feathers and are rubbing
borax on their feet TO harden them
All the one-eyed owls are leav-
ing the country month earlier
than usual and the bobtailed
squirrels are laying in sweet po-
tatoes, as we'll as nuts, for winter
provisions.
The report that the demand
among bald headed men for ap-
plications of hair restorer is
greatest in number than for many
previous seasons. Also many
young men are about to raise full
boards whether they are becom-
ing or not.
The farmer who has taken the
trouble to investigate has found
that all the toad stools on the old
logs have wrinkled In them. The
last time that this happened we
had winter weather that froze
handles off plows.
Rabbits are sitting around with
a bumped up look to them, and
field mice have wrinkles in their
tails, If this means anything it
means 20 below zert from November
through to May,
Cows are limiting around for
pieces of flannel to wrap up their
tails, and hogs are roofing their
ways TO the center of straw stacks.
This is a sure sign that the high
ways will be blocked with snow
for weeks at time Exchange.

Suit Filed.

John Hill, building contractor

alton, asking for the recovery Of
$455 for labor and materials fur

The petition filed in the case
alleges that there is due the plain
tiff the sum of $455 with the in
terest from May 20, 1905, which
it is claimed is the balance of an
account for labor and material
furnished for the erection of two
story brick store and Office build

of Nelsonville. The contract for
the construction of the building
was entered into between Hill on
the one part and Mrs. Wells and
her agent L. f. on the other. ri g
petititlon also states that there is
an additional verbal contract.
According to the allegations set
forth in the petition the contract
price of the structure was $10,075
and the credits amount to $1,000,
leaving a balance due of 1856. A
mechanics lien for this latter
amount was filed by Mr.. Hill short
ly after the completion of the
building to secure payment of his
claim for labor and material.
The petition also states that the
Jacksonville Home & Saving Assoca-
tion claim to have some interest or
lien upon the property and the
plaintiff be required to come into
court and set forth their claim.
Mr.. Hill asks for Judgment in
the amount of 1855 with interest
from May 90, 1905, and that his
claim be declared valid and sub
sisting lien on the property on and
after October l, 1904. He also
asks that the property be sold and
the proceeds applied to the pay
ment of his aim.-Messengsr.
