and better liked candidate on the Re

their choice as one Of the justices of

1868 he enlisted in the United States

Following this he was engaged in the

Many of them received

Democratic administration warrants
drawn On the county fund amount to
SS3,710.22. Contrasted with the last
Republican year we find an increase
OF S25S2806. Even in the salaries Of
the board OF supervisors there is diff
ference in favor of the Republican adj
ministration of $832.62, when you
make the contrast between the years
of 1905 and 1907.
at is generally understood around
the city of Ottumwa that the auditor
and treasurer has some difficulty in
balancing their Nooks. You who have
been identified with school matters in
this township. no doubt recall that the
money for school purposes was not
available until the latter part of June,
when IT. should have been turned over
to you from the 18th to the 25th of
April. do not charge that the money
was being held out for any improper
use by the officials. do believe, how
ever, that it might be charged to in
competency. Some say that the Off
Gals were too actively engaged in try

Death of Little Willie Rob-
erSOn.

Dear Editor: l beg space in
your paper, which we all love to
read, to tell of the death of lit
tie Willie Robertson, the bright
little son of Mr.. Jim Robertson.
Willie was bright and loving
child. He was always at Sun
day school. No longer than two
weeks ago remember seeing his
bright face as he sat in my class
and answered the questions as l
asked them. But now he is gone.
| shall never see his face on
earth any more, but hope to
meet him up yonder. His place
in my class is vacant. The dear
God has called him away. We
think it awful hard, but God
knows best, so let us submit to
His will. God often calls the
young as we'll as the old. We
notice in The forest that the
young trees die the same as the
old ones. So in this way God
calls us from this earth. Let us
all 60 to Sunday school, so that
when we are gone it will miss US
as it did this little one.
/ close asking the dear Father
above TO comfort and console the
bereaved ones and help them to
prepare to meet Him. | shall
miss him each Sunday as | stand
before the little boys and try to
teach them of Gods love to them.
