The Sullivan Gazette fired it's
first campaign gun last week. 1t
was very much like the old army
musket that always kicked harder
than it could shoot. If the Gaz-
cite will only continue to thunder
away with that rusty old shooting
stick and with the same kind of
ammunition that he used for the
first charge, the fighting line of his
enemy is absolutely safe.

The Hughesville Printing Co.,
| Publishers of the Hughesville In-
dependent has passed into the
hands of a receiver and the paper
suspended. From the beginning
of its first issue five years ago the
independent held the we'll merited
reputation Of being the most mod
ern and well edited weekly news
paper published in the State. This
enterprise, under the management
of able linancierS. has but added
further proof that tirst-class news
paper in a second-class field of OPP
GRAFTON has as much chance for sue
cess as Il blind man would have for
setting type.
Following the funeral of Cassie
Chadwick at Woodstock, Ont, her

an tinancier disposes to relatives,
servants and educational and chari-
table institutions over $1,000, 900,
A novel feature is that the estate is
divided by the will into four thirds
This will is superseded by Il later
one made two years ago at the Ohio
penitentiary and Mrs Chadwick left

The ticket which the Republican
party presents to the voters o: the
county this fall is the untramneled
choice Of the voters themselves, as
it was selected under the uniform
primary law 1t also commends it
self 10 the consideration of the
people, as it is made up of men of
business experience and good .judg
ment,
If honesty were IA partisan matter,
then the Democratic effort to show
| that the only way to get rid of
dishonesty in public affairs is to
elect Democrats to office would
have much force. But those who
keep in touch with the world know
that Democrat is not more honest
than Republican. Every party
has its demagogues and heelers,
and no party which is strong
enough to have any showing for
succ ess can boast of its freedom from
them. Just now the Republican
party in this State is making it de
cidedly interesting for some grafters,
who before the courts are done with
them, are likely to realize that the
command "Thou shalt not steal is
something more than party slo
gan.

Whereas, it has pleased Almighty God
in His infinite wisdom to remove from our

Refuses to Get Sober.

A few Sundays ago farmer drove over
to the County Attorneys home and de-
manded the arrest of a neighbours thresh-
ing crew that was violating the Sabbath. !"
The County Attorney was busy pulling
weeds in his garden and suggested that
the complaint go before the Justice of the
Peace in his own township, but he was in
formed that the Justice was out fixing his
saw mill. He was then asked to telephone
the Sheriff and have him attend the mat
ter, but he was busy loading at the stock
yards. The farmer was exasperated and
resolved to saddle horse and go for a
Constable, but his good wife, who was
busy canning fruit, informed him that the
boys had driven the horses to the village
where the boys were in the lineup for a
ball game, and that the girls had gone to
picnic. The farmer has been drunk on
hard cider ever since and stoutly refuses
to be sobered. EWsvo,th han. 4Nessen-

Plenty of Rock for Road Building.

The following letter from Mr.. w. c.
Agurs, of Shreveport, will no doubt prove
of much interest to the good road sympa-
thizers in our parish:
Editor Bossier Banner, Benton La.
Dear Sir: On a recent visit to Plain
Dealing, in your parish, l was agreeably
surprised to find in the hills of Bossier a
vast amount of rock of the sand stone
variety. Now, if this rock was in Caddo,
would insist that our Police Jury put in
a rock crusher and screen near it and
make use of it in building roads. Knowing
that you favor good roads, | suggest the
idea to you, feeling that you will have the
matter looked into. Hoping the suggestion
will be of some benefit, am
Yours truly,

On more than one occasion attempts
