would unite and give him their
solid vote for Constable or some
other office of like magnitude.
Had Mr.. Ready received the
nomination he would have expected
every Republican in the county to
support him at the general election.
Mr.. Kentta asked for the nomi-
nation and pursued an honorable
course in securing the same and
under the present primary system
it is the duty of every Republican
in the county to support him. Mr..
Ready promised his loyal support
tothe successful candidate, and since
in this case he has proven himself
to be unreliable what inducements
has he to offer in order to secure a
single vote at the coming election,
unless 1t be his own, which, under
our free American government, is
sacred to himself to be placed where
the greatest good will be obtained.
have known Mr.. Ready for the
past thirteen years and have always
found him to be very pleasant
gentleman, hut in this one instance
he is surely committing a great
error, and since he had not the
foresight nor will power to correct
himself while there was yet an op-
portunity, l trust that the voters of
this county will do so by giving Mr..
Kentta their undivided support next
Monday. R. H. HOWELL.

One OF the mosI important ques-
tions to be voted on next Monday
is that ct a county High School.
Every voter who is interested in
schools in this county, and it is
hoped every voter is, should vote for
the measure. What is the sense of
sending our boys and girls out of
the county to take the high school
studies, or of paying tuition for
them to go to district high school?
The expense to the taxpayers of
maintaining county high school
will be small considering the bene-
fits to be derived from having such
an institution. The most prosper
us counties and communities are
these having good schools. Let's
help better our school condition in
t'is county by having a county
high school. Put cross after SO
On your ballot next Monday.

Decoration Day Program.

The day opened dismal ano

which developed numerous showers
of fine mist and rain during the
afternoon. However, the City Opera
house was filled to its capacity at
o'clock when the members of the
Grand Army and Relief Corps, Com.
pany D and a large number of citi.
zens, who attended the exercises.
Commander A. b. Terrill conducted
the services, introducing the Rev
r. A. Barnes, who offered the invo-
cation, and then after song, the
speaker of the day, Capt. j. F. Merry
who delivered one of the stronges,
and most eloquent speeches ever
heard before Manchester audience
He spoke Of the decimated ranks Of
the grand old army Of civil war vet
Grams, and of the patriotism which
had been a marked trait Of Ameri-
can people since the days of revolu.
ton against the British empire.
Later in 1912 when again the people
of this country were called upon to
repel second invasion of Ensland's
soldiers. The war with Mexico in
'46, and the rebellion in the sixties
we're concluding evidence OF the love
oilcountry manifested by the young
men of the country at those times.
lie refreshed the memories of his
listeners by recalling the events
prior to the late war with the south,
when Abraham Lincoln was about to
be- elected to the presidency of this
nation and the threats of Southern
men to secede, if their rights to re-
tain their slaves were to be doubted
and disregarded by the North. He
made mention Of the over 1000 en-
gagements waged during the four
years, which are now honored by
the government by locating various
national parks at certain points
where the most awful conflicts were
fought. The navy is also represent
ed in these national cemeteries and
parks, and the administrations have
all approved of ascertaining, with
out thought of expense, the graves
|of the dead and heroes of the war.
The Captain paid tribute to the mil
itiamen of today and to their willing
ness and ability to serve the countr,
in training for perhaps further con-
flicts.

noon were pleasing and well recei-
we'd. Mr.. Cal Martin and Mr.. F. J

week that the editor of this paper
arrived in this county and became q
neighbor of Mrs. Fuller. It was only
sixty rods from her house to our
house and she Immediately became
Aunt Tavy' to we children. Never
was blood relative more true and
devoted in friendship than good,
honest, noble Aunt Tavy. She was
as true friend to children as the
world has ever known, and when
mothers hand was worn out with
work over her sick little ones, it was
the blessed hand Of Aunt Tavy that
smoothed the pillow and patted and
soothed the fevered little foreheads
until they began to get well, and
then brought fruit and sweets to
them in their convalescence. She
made them love her and think of her
as almost dearer than blood relative,
for no woman on earth was willing
to sacrifice more for the comfort Of
others than Aunt Tavy. She never
knew what it was to hesitate when
suffering humanity demanded her
attention. Her whole life was one
of usefulness and sacrifice. She went
in darkest night or fercest storm to
minister to the sick and help those
in distress. A nobler woman never
lived and she is certain of reward.
We saw her in her coffin the other
day with look of peace upon her
face Her rest had come. The grave
is but temporary abiding place for
such noble woman. May her pure
and honest soul find eternal rest and
happiness is the sincere wish of one
who mourns her as one of the tru-
est, hest friends of an entire life
time.
Mrs. Fuller united with the Bap.
list church forty-seven years ago
and always lived a consistent
Christian life. She leaves three
brothers, Charles G.. and Luther,
both of Pomeroy, and Eli of Delhi,
Iowa; and a husband. Alpheus Full
Ter, whom she married in 1889.
The funeral took place last Satur-
day afternoon from the late home to
the Presbyterian church in Pomeroy
thence to the Union cemetery for
interment in the family lot. Rev.
Huber oficiated and preached a
comforting sermon to the family and
friends. A choir. of ladies sang the
songs the deceased loved SO we'll in
her life-time, the simple, yet beauti-
full hymns of the earlier years. The
pulpit and rostrum were banked
with pretty flowers and the casket
was almost hidden from view by
the floral offerings heaped upon it.

Educational-For the Country School.

The teacher works from one view
point, the parent from another and
the school officer from another.
Childhood is in the crucible-and
the future of our commonwealth.
Let schoolboards be composed of
educated, intelligent men and wo-
men.
Let their chief aim be the further
ing of educational interests, of i'm
proving conditions, of demanding
higher standards of excellence. Let
the masses come to a realization of
the facts that the school tax is not
as large as some other kind of taxes,
that there are some things that are
beyond computing in money values;
such for instance as cultivating in
tsllects and hands and minds and
hearts, that every child in Delaware
county has right to graduate from
Sth grade work. that the teachers OF
Delaware county have a right to as
good salaries as those of Page or
kossuth counties, that there ought
to be some regulation Of the salary
question that would be fairly adjust
ed, that every parent should have a
thorough knowledge of the present
school system with it's merits and de.
fects and the results as we'll.
Why is it that but one per cent of
all pupils entering the primary fin
ish the course through the high
school.
Let township boards in consulta-
ton with their teachers decide on a
graduation day for the schools of the
township. Have joint program
and public picnic as central as pos
sible.
Let boards of education lend their
influence toward inducing country
children to graduate from their
home school.
Let us have improved and beauti-
full school grounds. 1t is a great
helper in improving and beautify-
ing dispositions within those four
square walls.
Let all buildings and fences be
kept in repair.
Let every room be supplied with
some means of ventilation as well
as necessary maps and supplies.
Let every room be as neat as q

Let every play ground be be.

Let every heart be a garden that
