two weak hands with the combined
power of twenty or a hundred; they
have taken dull uncut gem of thought
and polished it until it has been fit for
the purest setting in refined gold; they
have mastered great difficulties, con-
quered absurd prejudices, and solved
difficult problems; and the grandest
work of all has been to teach the women
their own possibilities and the glory of
their own heritage.

OLD BELL
One Two Centuries Old the Proserty
of Hampshire County Nan.

Mr.. J. A. Enlow, this city, who
has just returned from a business
trip to Springfield, w. Va, was
shown a very ancient bell made
in Rotterdam in 1884, now the
property of Mr.. VIM. A. Shannon,
Of Springfield. Mr.. Shannon prizes
the Bell highly, not only on ac-
count Of its age, but because it
was the bell that summoned him
to school during his boyhood days,
and when the old schoolhouse was
destroyed by fire Mr.. Shannon took
the bell from the burning building,
carried it to his home and has had
it i'll his keeping ever since. No
one now living seems to know any
thing concerning its history pre-
vious to the time it was hung over
the old schoolhouse. The bell is
in splendid condition and gives
forth a clear, sharp ring. l: is
made of very fine bell metal, is
about eight inches across the open
ing, ten inches deep and six inch
es i'll diameter in the middle.
Around the outside Of the bell, in
raised letters is, "Adrien Dop Me
Fecit Rotterdam 1854. Cum

the millions, and the magnificent struc-

the hum and music of progress will be
heard on every hand.
Altogether such an opportunity has
never occurred before of witnessing
such scenes of beauty amidst historical
associations of deep interest to every
American.

money, which largely belongs to
the primary school fund, should
have been distributed to the sew

law prescribes that there shall
be semi annual distribution of
this fund each year, and that
such funds shall be apportioned
by the superintendent of public
instruction between the first and

A GREAT LOSS FROM FROST.
Many Pears and Apples Ruined
Besides Great Injury to
Grapes.

The loss from the heavy freeze of last
week is greater than at first predicted.
There were many pears and apples yet
on the trees, and these almost without
exception were ruined.
The grape growers are picking their
grapes and many have found good mar.
kets for them. The grapes have lost
their flavor in a measure, but can be
utilized by the wineries.
Although it was a sad blow to every
body, We do not hear any "sobbing" or
lamenting. The fruit grower looks upon
it in philosophic sort of way and is
already making plans for next year
That is the kind OF grit that wins Make
the best of these little adversities and
be up and doing. No one will know
the difference in year from now.

WILLIAM j. Bry an, the peer

scripture when speaking of the
republican party, which he says
is entering 1.-The valley of the

mebbe so, but why did he cut
the quotation so short. The
psalmist said, Though | walk
through the valley of the shadow
of death, I l0iH fear no cell, for
Thou art with me" And so the
republican party fears not the
boastings nor the threats of its
enemies.

Did You Ever Think OFT?

Did you ever think of the in
congruity Of the leadership Of
this independent movement in
Van Buren, county? The "inde-
pendent" county chairman is
Fred B. Ocotock, a lifelong and
consistent democrat, who is also
chairman of the democratic coun-
ty committee. Fred is a good
fellow, but in politics he has
never been known to do any
thing except in opposition to the
republican party. We do not
blame him for that. He is a
democrat. For several wears he
paraded in a free silver" cloak,
but was always democrat.
Now he has a brand new suit
from the political tailor, and is
costumed for this county only
as an independent" But if
you should ask him, he would
honestly say to you that he is a
democrat. He was in practical
control of the Van Buren, county
delegation to the democratic
state convention at Detroit, and
voted the big end of the delega-
ton for Kimmerle. He is among
Kimmerle's ardent democratic
supporters. Chairman Cookbook
is not an independent in politics,
and is supporting the so.called
independent ticket solely be-
cause he realizes it would be i'm
possible TO come anywhere near
electing democrat county ticket
in Van Buren,. The democratic
politicians in this county have
suddenly become independent, .
but are all in line for Kimmerle
and the rest Of the democratic
state ticket just the same. In
telligent republican voters will
not be caught by any such pal
pable democratic scheme.
