Heart to Heart
Talks.
BY EDWIN A. NYE.
THE FRONT PORCH.
BY EDWIN A. NYE.
Copyright, 1908, by Edwin A. Nye.

During these days the country is
being edited from the front porch.
In the south the porch is more or
less Of an all year institution. In the
north for seven or eight months in the
year the front porch is like the plat
form of a street car-of use only to
get on. But during the good old sum-
mer time it justifies it's existence north
and south.
The front porch now ceases to be
the mere threshold of the house. 1t
becomes sitting room, sewing room,
nursery and library. 1t is the hearth
stone transferred to the open.
Here sits the family and solaces it
self. Inoffensive gossip floats serene
ly-and wisdom also. Here is the
forum. Here many grave problems
are sorted and settled. and laughter
| and good cheer have place
If you would study the average
American family in its normal state,
observe the family as it sits on the
front porch after supper, amiably criti-
cising its neighbors or discussing the
evening paper or family or state af-
fairs, laughing at the play of children
good humored, satisfied with itself
optimistic, hearty, genial
And if you will watch close enough
you will observe the play of sentiment
and the undertone of wise Judgment.
1t does not matter how pretentious
or how humble may be the front porch.
| 1t is part and parcel of that home life
| on which is builded the real strength
Of this nation. The front porch is re-
| lated to that family life in summer as
| is the Preside in winter.
| The porch may proXimate the gran
| deur of a wide and stored veranda.
or it may be only a humble stoop or
| only few steps. But
| Here foregathers that little republic,
the family.
| In America. because of this custom
of the family, the front porch arises to
the dignity of a national institution
| While it is not one of the things for
which the fathers fought, it is parcel
Of the heritage they bequeathed to us.
And it is as potent in it's day as was
the town meeting Of its day.

In recent years the work in the Office
of county clerk has been enlarged by
requiring the clerk to act as probate
judge during vacation; and to fill the
position we'll he should have a legal
education or be trained in the office.
Mr.. l.. A. MeGinnis, the republican
candidate, has had the advantage of
several years as deputy with the pres
emit incumbent and is therefore thor
oughly prepared to do the work in an
efficient manner. After returning from
the war, in which he gave loyal SER
vice, he attended school and taught
for number of years, an experience
that will be of much benefit TO him in
clerical work. 1t has been the rule in
the Office to advance the deputy to first
place after he had been trained to per-
form it's duties. And in promoting Mr..
McGinnis the voters will elect a man
who is a staunch republican, and a
worthy and upright citizen, Let every
republican vote for Mr.. McGipnis for
Clerk of the District Court.

HEATING AND VENTILATION
A Question of Much Importance, Especi-
ally in the School Buildings

Now that the winter is upon us
again, the question of heating and
ventilation in our dwellings, and school
rooms becomes of great Importance,
not only as matter of comfort but of
life and health. Crowded and over
heated rooms are the principal cause
of colds, coughs and consumption.
The county Superintendent has sent
out a card to the teachers calling their
particular attention to this matter and
urging them to keep, steady, even fires
to be careful of drafts and ventilate
by putting boards under the windows.
We would suggest right here that the
directors should go with board and
q saw to assist the teacher in provid-
ing the ways and means to secure
proper ventilation.

years while serving as deputy in that
Office. He has also been lifelong re-
publican and highly deserving as
member of the party. When but a

viable record in the Union Army.

Republican Candidate for County Treasurer
County Treasurer Kellogg has saved
to the taxpayers in interest on deposits
over nine hundred dollars during his
first term in the Office, and in addition
turned over to the county over one
hundred dollars in letter fees, which
was never done before. His official
duties and the rainy weather has pre-
vented him from seeing as many of the
voters as he wanted to see; but he
trusts all republicans will rally to his
support for the second term. He re-
turns his thanks for past favors and
also for good vote at the polls next
Tuesday.

CHILDREN DANCE
in MAY CARNIVAL

Miss McClanertys fancy dancing
class gave a May carnival in the Opera
House last night before a large aud
ience with noteworthy success. About
60 children took part and showed the
effect of several months of training 10
fun advantage.
The May pole dance was the feature
of the evening. with a large May pole
of white intermingled with red roses.
Garlands of these flowers were car
ried by graceful children, who danced
merrily around the pole Another baud
Of children, among whom was the
May Queen. carried hoops and COM
pleted the charming picture.
Sailors were represented by a merry
band Of boys who danced 10 national
airs. The feature OF the act was George
Alexander aged 5 years, who sang
Honey Boy" and danced a hornpipe.
Then there was a contra dance, en-
semble, and a Virginia reel and cake
walk that carried the audience away.
A number of little folk appeared in
the dance Of 1880 in which Jean Good
man did an artistic dance. The dance
Of the witches and the Queen of the
Fairies were both delightful. The dance
Of the nations splendidly costumed

was greatly augmented by solos by
Miss Marguerite Braunstein, Miss
Bessie Bonner, Miss Vera Gilbride and
others. Miss Mayvin Lynch. Miss
Madeline keenan,. Miss Marion Fizor,
Miss Bessie Ward and Miss Mildre

TARIFF REVISION.

"A 7 THE recent session of the American AS
n socation of Manufacturers held in New
York, the report of the committee of the associa-
tion favored a revision of the tariff so that manu-
facturers should not be permitted to sell their
products abroad cheaper than they do at home.
The report seemed to be the sentiment of the
association and was afterward adopted.
c. F. DuBrul, one of the leading Republicans
and business men of Cincinnati, declared for
tariff commission and for the square deal on the
tariff He did not see, he said, how any legiti-
mate interests could suffer through the publicity
of a commission, but he did see, he added, how
the tariff crooks could not stand the light.
1t is, therefore, probable that the sentiment
which has developed in favor of revision, and
which was expressed in the platform of the re-
cent Republican State Convention, will result in
"a revision of the tariff at no distant day at the
hands Of those who favor the principle of protec-
ton, and who do not desire to see tariff modi-
fed SO that it would harm the maintenance of our
industries.

EORGlA fruit growers are predicting a
large crop of peaches in that State this
year. The fruit has been slightly hurt in some
parts of the State, but the damage has been in
significant From present indications, Georgia
expects to ship 6ooo carloads of peaches, at an
approximate value of $2oooooo
If this estimate is realized it will be a record
breaker, as the largest previous shipments have
amounted to 5000 cars in one year.
Lower prices are expected as a result of the
heavy yield. The best peaches, which sold for
from So to $3.50 crate last year. are expected to
bring about SI.25 the crate this season. The
Georgians believe that their EllArtas will monop-
olize the market.
But the Elbertas of Delaware are better
peach than the same variety grown in Georgia,
and the Delaware fruit will out do the Southern
peach in the markets
