Cultivate the Onions

The most important essential in
onion growing is thorough cultivation
at the right time. which means that
we must keep down the weeds and
grass and keep the soil loose around
the plants while they are young. This
requires careful work for the first few
times. but if well done one will feel
well repaid when the harvest comes.
The patch should be gone over as soon
as the ground is airy enough after each
rain. For cultivation by hard as de-

DEAR EDITOR !!

DEAR EDITOR -
For the benefit Of the
voters of Fulton County who do
not have the honor of q personal
acquaintance with DIR. A. K. Da
Wis, candidate for legislature on
the Democratic ticket, we wish
to give them a few facts in regard
TO his qualifications for this office
and incidentally mention few
facts about his "home life" With
all due respect 10 The other can
didates, and to the intelligence of
the voters of Fulton County
(Which we think are above the
average) we mention these facts
that the voters who are not per.
sonally acquainted with the Doc
tor, may vote more intelligently
and with the assurance that an X
marked opposite his name ON
April 1lth IS mark well placed.
DR.. DAVIS has been a willing
and active worker for the cause
OF Democracy for 33 years and
during that time has never asked
the voters of his county for any
public Office, WITH the single ex-
ceptlon of Coroner, and this he
did not seek. He is always found
in the front ranks working for
the nominee, regardless of whom
he may have worked for prior to
the nomination. His stable full of
b 'rses Is always at the disposal of
the voters of the com munlty free
of charge on all election days.
Not only is he a good public
speake: and somewhat Of an ora.
tor, but he has that faculty Of be-
ing able to grasp any subject
quickly, and his comments on the
subject are generally to the
point. Davis is a good straight
Democrat and man of ability
and could be trusted to faithfully
and intelllgently represent the
voters of Fulton County at Har-
risburg. If nominated and elect
ed, we can safely say that he will
not be representative of the
few but representative of the
majority of the voters of Fulton
County. Now Mr.. Voter, in view
of the above facts, do you not
think that he should be rewarded
IN his declining years for his un.
tlring efforts IN the cause of de-
mocracy, bv giving HIM this
nomination and election? Per-
sonallv, we, think this county
owes the Doctor this nomination
and election.
Literally speaking, DR.. Davis
Is true representative of the
word democracy. He Is always
the happy congenlal, sunny dis
posltioned "Doc" to every body,
at all times and at all places. He
is regarded as being almost in
dlspensabIe to any public social
affair held In the com mupity, be.
ing good entertainer and always
willing to serve In any capacity
IN order to make the affair a
success. He is known by the
people IN the com munity as be-
ing one of the most liberal of con-
tributors to any good cause and
we can say without fear of con.
tradiction, that more young men
in the north end of Fulton Coun-
owe their success IN life through
the aid and assistance, financial
ly and otherwise, of DIR. Davis
than any one individual IN the
community wherein he lives.
In conclusion We wish to say
that DIR. Davis is not q party to
this communication nor does he
know of its origin. The writer's
are personal friends of his, some
Of whom are not residents of the
county at this writing, but know
Ing the candidate so well, could
not help saying a good word in
his behalf.
