Mrs. w. A. Mccain has received

man is also Decatur county boy,

A circular letter signed by J. A.
Mcintosh, has been sent broadcast to
the voters of this county this week,
in which Mcintosh recommends j. W..
Long, the republican candidate for
county superintendent, in glowing
terms, but he fails entirely to state
that Mr.. Long has failed to qualify for
the office, as the state law requires
that the county superintendent must
hold first-class state certificate in
order to hold the Office, and this Mr..
Long has failed to secure. At the last
election when a county superintendent
was elected Mr.. Mcintosh was a can
didate on the republican ticket but a
majority of the voters of the county
decided they preferred to see Eli
Hutchinson fill this most important
school office, and they elected him by
a good majority. That circular signed
by Mcintosh will hardly make any
votes for Mr.. Long. And besides the
people will again say by their votes
that Eli Hutchinson is their choice for
superintendent.

A Lesson in a Dream.

The following from an exchange fits
the situation in Missouri about as well
as anything we have read:
Occasionally a good man grows dis
satisfied with Missouri. The milk is too
yellow or the honey too sweet, and he
doesn't like them TO flow over his land
anyway. SO he parts with his farm,
sells his live stock and "other things too
numerous TO mention," and moves 10
Kansas. There lie takes his good
Missouri money and buys a farm which
today is and tomorrow is not, because
the wind has blown it away. Or he tries
Colorado and slushes around in the niue
irrigating a strip of bottom So narrow
that a row cant jump in the field be
cause she jumps over 1t.
Then he hears Of Texas and goes down
to hunt the bag of gold at the end of the
rainbow. In the day time he scratches
the tarantulas nibble at his feet and
centipedes crawl over bis face. When
his i1,oney is all gone he begins TO feel
like he did the first night he ever stayed
away from home.
He yearns for good old Missouri and
the yearn sticks in his throat and cliokes
him until tears come in his eyes. lie
would give a months work to see the
cows standing at the bars on his old
Missouri farm and hear the horn blow
for supper.

1t shows him the elms as they whispered

MONEY FOR ROAD IMPROVEMENT
Stark County is Entitled 10 SI.7O0 From The State.
But Application For il Must be Made Before
April 80 by County Commissioners.

an application filed with the state
commission in Columbus before April
30.
The money to be obtained from
the state is not intended to do all the
improvement desired, as the state
pays certain per cent of the cost of
the work, the county another share
and the property owners still another
share. 1t is thus aimed to have the
appropriation become an incentive to
county commissioners and property
owners.
1t was estimated by the commission
when the appropriation was made b.
the general assembly that if all the
counties took advantage of the appro-
priation and furnished the coursy's
share of the cost of road improve
ments, there would be about $1,000.
900 expended in road work in Ohio
In the next two years.
The state commission will have the
power of supervision over any high
way improved with money obtained
from the state. Mr.. Metzgar has re-
ceived some assurances that IL the
state aid can be obtained other aid
will be Forthcoming.

WOMAN KILLED
Divorced Wife of ohio Man Murdered
by a Negro-Affair a Mystery.

Huntington, w. Va, April 15.-Mrs.
Martha ]. Bass, the divorced wife of
John Farley, of Gallipolis, Ohio, was
shot three times by Charles Morrow,
negro hotel porter, this afternoon.
