Like clap of thunder in clear
sky came the announcement Ill the
daily papers the first OF the week,
that President Roosevelt had nomi-
mated Charles A. Garfield as post
master of Winnebago, says The VIM
nebago Press News.
In talk with Postmaster Grinnell
we learned that he has still over a
year to serve before the time expires
for which he was appointed. Mr..
Grinnell has made a good postmaster
and given the best of satisfaction, so
far as The News is able to learn, In
the office.
Mr.. Garfield has been the agent OF
the Milwaukee railway in this city for
a number of years. He is good
business man.
Just who is the power behind the
throne is not clear. Mr.. Grinnell was
an appointee of Congressman Nc
Cleary's. He succeeded DIR. L. G.
Bcebe. ~

In the district court this afternoon,
the suit of Thomas Hughes appellant,
VS.. Lewis Williams, respondent, in the
matter of the estate of Mary Williams
deceased, was given to the jury after
the latter had received its charge from
Judge Cray.
The trial of the case of the state of
Minnesota VS.. Emmett Carey was begun
for the second time. This is expected
to take at least two days, and will be
followed by the trial of the case of
j. NJ. Warfield. The suit of J. A.
Anderson and others VS.. George Hoff-
man is set for trial Thursday after
noon, and the trial of Frank Barr will
undoubtedly be deferred until that has
been disposed of.
Three cases have been added to the
calendar, these being the appeals of
Charles A. Gilman, Edmund Jones and
d. A. Reed i'm the matter of county
ditch No. 20. The appellants APP
peal from the assessments that were
levied. W. r. & c. d. Geddes are at
torneys for the appellants but there
is question as to wether these are
cases that it is incumbet upon the
county attorney to defend They are
for trial by jury.

Be we for Smith or Brown, keep
cool, and do not, under any cir
cumstances, insult a friend; for
friends-true frlends-are scarce,

ever give a passing thought after

men to differ, have always differ

1t doesn't signify he is your enemy

THE GOVERNMENT BUYING TONS
OF CANDY,

The Navy Department has order
ed another lot of 40, 900 pounds of
high-grade chocolate bonbons for
the Pacific fleet, to be delivered IN
San Francisco before the ships sail
for the East. Like former orders,
these are Lowney's. During the
Spanish war and when 100000
United States soldiers were in the
Philippines the Lowney Company
sent 1000 pounds a month of the
finest chocolate candies for several
consecutive months in response to
government orders, and since that
time large shipments have been
repeatedly ordered for both army
and navy, owing to a conviction
on the part Of the medical corps
that chocolates lessen the desire
for strong drink and are especially
good for men in the tropics. Pu-
rity, flavor and keeping qualities
are the three requirements. Every
bonben is wrapped in tinfoil and
then packed in air-tight tin boxes,
with screw tops, to resist heat and
salt air. Our fighting men do not
care for the pretty paper boxes,
but they like the goods, and order
in carload lots.

THE ENORMOUS APPROPRIATIONS.

It will be recalled that the coun-
try was alarmed when the appro-
priations by one Congress ap-
preached billion dollars-$50O,-
100000 year. Mr.. Reed, who
was speaker at the time, quieted
the alarm by the statement that
this was a billion dollar country.
And from that day to this Con-
gress has gone on increasing the
appropriations from year to year
until it is said that the appropria-
tions for the year beginning July
l next will be more than a billion
of dollars. This Congress will
likely be known as the two billion
dollar Congress. Those of it's
members who are charged with the
duty of keeping track of the
finances are saying that the appro-
priations by this Congress will
leave a deficit of more than $780,
900, 900 in the treasury.
Congress doesn't seem to be in
least alarmed, however. 1t goes
on making extravagant appropria-
tions just as if the treasury would
hold out against any demand upon
it. 1t really looks as if it were
preparing an excuse for imposing
an inheritance tax and an income
tax, just as if the country were not
taxed enough already The seri-
GUS suggestion of an income tax
would doubtless bring about the
reforming of party lines to some
xtent.-Savannah News.

A GENIUS OF SELF.CONTRoL.

To the Editor Macon Telegraph
/ have seen many heated political
campaigns in my life, but the one
or for the governorship of Geor-
gia surpasses all others. Especi-
ally in this, the mud singing"
has been confined to the Hoke
Smith side altogether. What q
sublime lesson has the Hon. J. M.
Brown taught us! In this gifted
Georgian we find one who can sub
due his passions. We find one
who, up to date, has never said
one unkind word about his COM
petitor, although the universe has
been scraped, as it were, with a
fine comb, to get up all kinds of
mud to throw upon him; yet, in
that grand Christian life of his, he
goes straight On to his task of
showing the voters of Georgia what
the "Divine Hoke" has failed to
do-that a man can make the race
for Governor of Georgia and re-
tain his self-respect. Let this
election terminate as it may, this
genius of self-control, J. NJ. Brown,
will go down in history as one
worthy of any honor Georgians
may see fit to bestow upon him.

A smart New York girl says she
wears a merry widow" hat be-
cause it insures her more elbow
room. When she gets on a street
car the hat is preventive against
crowding, and when she is on the
street, it keeps people from talk
ing into her face. So it seems
there is some positive virtue in
the big hat, after all.
