The Hume Telephone locates Dan
Enbree and | NJ. Smith, Democratic
candidates for Cirault Clerk and Re.
cordsr respectively, In Mt. Pleasant
township. Mr. Embree lives In
Spruce and Mr.. Smith lives In Deep
Water, both on tue extreme eastern
border Of the county. The facts are
that Mt, Pleasant got only one can
,lidate, where there was any contest
whatever, and that was Jas. X.
Angle for Sheriff.
Every Democrat In Bates county
should feel that it is up to him per.
sonally to pull for every candidate
on the ticket from top to bottom.
II every Democrat in the county will
do this he will find the county re,
liza bly, Democratic by a round thous.
and majority. Next year Is presi-
dental year boys, and you should
put your shoulder to the wheel this
year and put old Bates right In line
for Bryan In 1908.
| The big feed and stock barn on Blu
ford DuvalPs farm, just west OF But
Ter, was burned between 5 and 6
O'Clock Thursday evening Mr.. Du-
vail and wife we're on their way
home, when they saw the fire break
out. A fiue draft colt was the only
living thing In the barn and it was
consumed. A large tonnage OF hay,
about $50 bushels OF oats, corn,
farming implements, carriage and
buggy were burned. The loss was
partially covered by insurance.
The Seymour, l IVA, Democrat gives
an account of an operation reformed
upon Mrs. j A, Padley for serious
pelvic complications, from which Mrs.
Padley had suffered since childhood.
Mr.. and Mrs. Padley formerly lived
Just southeast OF Butler. They sold
out this last spring and went to
Seattle, Wash, but recently returned
to the home OF her parents in Sey-
mour to undergo the operation. The
Democrat Ieports her condition IA
vorable for early recovery.
Only four more weeks until the
ELECTION. At that time old Bates
ought to meet the other counties at
Jefferson City with a thousand to
twelve hundred majority. We can
do it If the voters will turn out on
election day and vote the ticket
straight, and every Democrat ought
to do that much for the party this
year. The ticket is composed OF
good men from top to bottom, NOM
mated by primary election and there
is no valid reason why q Democrat
In the county should not vote
straight.
