WHY HE GOT THE JOB.
Judge Mcpherson Remembered
Kind Act of Years AGO.

Osceola, Jan. 26.-The late appoint
ment of Bert Shipman of this city by
Judge Mcpherson to be his steno-
grapher and secretary brings out a
pretty little story which points a moral.
Many years ago Smith Mcpherson
was an ambitious young man Of this
district and an aspirant for office. Rev.
w. II. Shipman was at the same time
young Methodist minister of the dis
trict. When some of McPherson's
enemies got after him with false and
slanderOus charges to hurt him in his
candidacy, Rev. Shipman interested
himself to defend and support his friend
Mcpherson. The incident had been
forgotten by Shipman, but short time
ago when it was learned Judge McPher-
son was looking for young man for
secretary the friends of Bert Shipman
presented his name to the Judge. He
made inquiry and learned that he was
capable, but so were several other very
meritorious candidates for the place.
Then the fact came out that Bert was
the son of Rev. w. II. Shipman, the old
time friend of Mcpherson when he
needed friends.
The judges memory was not treach-
erous, he recalled the kind words in
his behalf of the young minister, and
his big heart prompted the result. He
appointed Bert and in doing so told
that young mans friends that they
need be under no obligations to him as
the appointment was made because of
the friendship shown by the young
mans father for him many years ago.
And so Shipman gets an appointment
at 81 900 salary per year and So per day
additional during session OF the federal

WANTS A FOUR COUNTY FAIR.
The Humeston Commercial Club
will Take Up the Matter.

The tendency in every line to CONSOLE
date for the purpose of increasing the
material benefit, obtain higher stand
ard, and at less expense in production,
is evident. Numerous methods have
been used to awaken a greater interest
in communities and to increase the
welfare of the same. Among these, the
separate county fairs have for years
welded high influence among the
people; however, these are now on
decline, especially in the less populated
counties, owing in great measure to
the fact that not enough funds can be
procured for it's successful management.
This can surely be obviated by combin-
ing several counties for the purpose of
holding one fair annually in the most
centrally and best accessible point in
the combine of counties. To this end
the Humeston Commercial Club pro-
poses that Lucas, Decatur, Clarke and
Wayne counties join hands and estab-
lish an annual fair in the interest of the
people of these counties as there are no
similar enterprises held in either of
these. The value of a good district
fair is incalculable for it will call es-
pecial attention to the splendid pro-
ducts of our farmers and advertise the
high standard of this section in many
ways. A plan proposed is to form a
stock company among the farmers and
stockmen of the above mentioned coun-
ties; and the stockholders will elect the
officers to have management of the
fair, etc.
In order to reach some conclusion as
basis upon which to work the Humes-
ton Commercial Club would like to hear
from as many as possible, as to whether
the proposition meets with their ap.
prevail, and if SO, what their ideas are
should be, how many each one would
take, and if they would assist in per.
fecting an organization. An early an.
swer to above inquiries would be appre
ciated and should be sent to

Legislature. The bill is modelled after
the one of last session and Mr.. Offil
claims to have the assurance Of the
manufacturers and jobbers that they
will not oppose it's passage at this ses-
sion of the legislature. 1t is provided
that it goes into effect January 1, 1908
1t prohibits the use or sale, or keeping
for sale, any toy pistol, toy revolver, or
other toy firearms or caps containing
dynamite, and limits firecrackers to
five inches in length and three-fourths
of an inch in diameter. The punish.
ment is 500 fine or 30 days in Jail OF

The assessors in many counties are
dissatisfied with the rate Of pay and
many threaten to resign, unless the
boards of supervisors come to their res
cue and fix rate of compensation that
is in some manner commensurate to the
duties imposed upon these officers. The
legislature has made their work more
and more intricate, has added to it in
many ways. A man of some judgment
is required and the assessor ought to
know practically everybody in his terri
tory. And if the work is worth doing
well, and, of course, it is, it ought to be
well paid. Osceola and other counties
have come to the front promptly and
have granted an increase in pay.

Last Friday night about two o'clock,
during the severe storm, the quiet of
our city was suddenly broken by the
dreaded cry of fire. Lightning had
struck and set fire to the home of Mr..
o. Whiticar, in the south part of town
and although it was raining hard soon
burned to the ground. The high wind
and the lack of ladders and water made
it impossible to save the building, al
though the neighbors turned out
promptly to do what they could, and
managed to save about half of the furni-
ture, the balance, with the house, being
a total loss, as Mr.. Whiticar had let his
insurance relapse last July. He esti-
mates his loss at about S120000. He
will rebuild in short time, providing
he does not buy which he is figuring
on doing at this writing. Van Vert

The LEON REPORTER of last week
states that the firemen of that place are
on a strike; that of the 105 business
houses in the town, only Is are repre-
sented in the fire department, though
the business interests of the community
are its largest interests. The firemen
have therefore called on the business
men to either join the department or
pay 81 year for it's support. Firms
that refuse to do SO are to be black
listed, and in cases of fire assistance
will be rendered them only after all
others have been helped. These are
rather drastic measures, but if the I'll
zens have no more thought of the de-
partment than the REPORTER indicates
they deserve some sort of resolution to
bring them to their senses.-C Corning
