The sad intelligence of the death
of, Mr.. Eiihu Nicholson reached
the city yesterday afternoon.
While none who were familiar
with his condition was surprised,

Several months ago he suffered
stroke of paralysis. Up to that

many weeks after he was stricken
he lay on his bed with the attcn-
ton of his family and physician
hoping each day for signs of re-
gaining strength aud after four or
five weeks was able to lie rolled up
town, and when the Grand Amy
delegation started for the encamp-
ment at Toledo, he and his family
joined the party and went as far
as Crawfol dsyillt, Indiana. 1t was
hoped Ivy some that the charge
would prove beneficial and that he
would come back Il stronger, ifhot
n well man, but those familiar
wi t Ii ID dread disease,
doubted such results and yester-
day afternoon Mr.. Belt Nicholson,

Mr.. Nicholson was high order
Mason, popular citizen. He was

Another letter in the same mail
| was written by man in Ohio who
had heard of Fitzgerald thru the
advertising matter sent out. In
the letter he says: "Your letter
and booklet of September Z receiv-
ed for which please. accept my
thanks.
IT appreciate the courtsey very
much and I have shown the book
let to several of my friends and
they are all impressed with your
city. My wife and I expect to
make Fitzgerald our home this
winter and we are now making ar
rangements to arrive there Novem-
Der 1st."
So it will be seen that Fitzger-
aid is being talked about in all
sections of the country and the re-
suit cannot but be profitable, from
a business standpoint at least.

both the pastor and his estimable
helpmeet have served this congre-
cation, using all the time and
energy to the best interests of our
people. The labor here has not
been in vain. The congregation
has grown in numbers and strength
and in many ways has sent its in
Auence in mission work at home
and abroad. Many hearts are sad
dened because of the near parting
and We hope Gods richest blessings
may follow Rev. and Mrs. Burgraaf
to their new field of labor.

A FALSE PRESUMPTION.

When a town like Wolverton can
not or will not keep out the blind
Digs, what can be expected of a
town with a more mixed popula-
ton. That is the very thing that
makes US hesitate about supporting
county option. We believe that
local option is much preferable and
that we have now. 1t is our belief
that each community knows best
what is suited to their needs and
whether they can enforce a prohib-
tory law or not. If they cannot
enforce such a law, then another
community has no right to force
such conditions upon them without
their consent. Whenever a town
or community has enough sentiment
to enforce mo license" they now
have it in their power to pass such
regulations. When it comes to a
choice between blind pig and an
open saloon we will choose the open
saloon every time. This may not
be popular but it is our honest be-
misunderstanding Telegram.
Friend James, you are arguing
with false premises. The smallest
effective unit of law enforcement is
the county. Very few villages have
the means for any effective law en-
forcement. They are required to
apply to the county attorney and
sheriff to deal with criminals.
When your entire county votes no.
license and elects officials pledged
to uphold the policy, the question
Of effective law enforcement will
be much simplified. Then you will
have the necessary sentiment be-
hind the very officers charged with
upholding the laws. 1t is painful
to hear men talk of choosing be-
tween saloons and blindpigs. Open
blindpigs cannot exist with honest
officials. If blindpigs exist, the
remedy is to elect honest men to
office.

motions now being gone thru with
by that company. The Union edi-
tor has, during the past five years,
endeavored at different times to as
sist the trust in obtaining better
patronage in this village, but as
fast as one official would promise
the public an improved service
along would come another higher
official and wipe the slate clean.

The first hats to make their ap-

were either abnormally large or alb
normally small, but as the season
progresses these extravagant eff

To-day very popular shape in Paris
Is the turban-toque, which Is worn
pitched forward q bit and tilted up
at the back and is very good with
tailored frocks. Another type OF
small hat Is the one formed entirely
Of crown with a mere apology for a
brim. The hat that turns far up on
the left and SO sharply down on the
right as entirely to hide the hair
and the face on that side Is a new
recruit to the ranks Of the spring
millinery. Never were flowers more
used, and roses, as usual, are the
most popular, although there Is
hardly natural blossom that has
not been duplicated in velvet or silk.
