Mr.. Simons. comes OF the pioneer stock
that developed the southern part of our
county, his father, John Simons, being
among the early settlers. He was born
in Sterling, May H., 1860. During his
youth he shared in the labors of the farm,
and attended the winter terms of the dis
trct schools. Later, Inc passed two years
at the Bloomsburg Normal School, and
graduated with honor from that institu-
ton. After spending some time in teach
ing, as principal of the graded schools of
Plymouth, Luzerne Co., and Nicholson,
Wyoming Co. , he in 1882 began the study
of law in Montrose, and in 1854 was ad-
mitted to the bar of that county. He
soon afterward returned to Wayne, and
in 1885 was appointed Commissioners
Clerk, ,whichposition he held for six years.
Meantime he was admitted to the WAYNE
county bar, and in 1891 began the regu-
lar practice OF the profession in Homes
dale. In this he has achieved a high de-
gree of success, and is known as n careful
and trustworthy practitioner, familiar
with legal principles, and ready in their
application to the varied aspects of litiga-
ton; showing accuracy and research both
in the preparation of cases for the courts,
and the conduct of the frequently more
complicated affairs embraced in office
business. In argument ne is earnest and
logical, and makes a most favorable i'm
preston on court and jury. With pro-
fessional study and experience of more
than quarter of century, he may be
depended on to perform the duties of
District Attorney faithfully and success
fully.

In selecting Wallace J. Barnes as its
candidate for Prothonotary the late Re-
publican Convention acted wisely and
well. Mr.. Barnes is a self-made man,
who, born in Wayne county, has grown
up to be one of its most substantial and
respected citizens, having established
and for years successfully conducted a
large lumber trade at Beach Lake, in
Berlin township. Being thoroughly
equipped for the position by liberal
education, which includes exceptionally
uniform and legible penmanship, the
election of Mr.. Barnes will insure n cor
rect and satisfactory discharge of the
duties of the Prothonotary's s office, while
his courteous manner and accommodate
ing disposition cannot fail to make him
popular with all who may have business
in his department. Having always been
an active and influential Republican, he
deserves and doubtless will receive the
best efforts of his party for his election,
while his personal popularity will at
tract to him the votes of many friends
of opposite political faith.

OCTOBER Sth.-Thc Wayne County
Fair for 1908 is one of the things that is
past. Financially it was a success, es-
pecially for the gang of light-iingcred
fellows who went through the pockets
of the honest farmers who came in from
the rural districts to attend the fair.
They paid no respect to persons, rich or
poor, but the meanest and most con-
temptible thing they did was to 60
through the pockets of an editor, and
should the sharpcrs be caught they will
get dose Of Wayne county medicine
that will prevent them from committing
any further depredations hereabouts for
some time.
In speaking of the fair we might say
that the attendance was large, but the
display of farm products was not up. to
the standard. Everything in the stock
line was inferior, and if the farmers of
Wayne county can not produce better
cattle, horses, hogs and sheep than were
on exhibition they had better keep their
stock at home. The display. of machin-
cry by Murray & Co., was first class, and
the firm is deserving of credit for ex-
hibiting such fine lot of farming im-
plements.
1t may not be the fault of the farmers
in not producing better grade of stock
and farm produce, but the mistake of
the fair managers in not offering larger
premiums, so as to induce farmers to
take more interest in the raising of live
stock and crops.
The principal feature of the fair ap-
pears to be horse-racing, merry-go-
rounds and side attractions that do not
appeal to the majority of the farmers OF
Wayne county.
| The most notable attraction to be seen
upon entering the fair ground was a
] large banner displayed over the entrance
of the fruit department, which read,
"Vote for Lee Braman for Sheriff. -
Now, that appears to be the sentiment
of the Republicans of this township, and
also throughout the county, for the reas-
on that he is competent, well fitted for
that office, and man who pays one
hundred cents on the dollar, while in all
his dealings he has the reputation OF
being fair, square business man and a
man of excellent habits. The voters OF
Wayne county will make no mistake
when they go to the polls and vote for
Lee Braman to be the next Sheriff OF
Wayne county. A VOTER.

A Sum in Politics.

Admitting every charge made by the
Democratic party against the Repub-

true; reduce these.charges of misgovern-

etc., to figures showing just what they
claim the country has lost in dollars
and cents ;add this enormous sum to the
actual value that the Democratic party
has been when in power and when not
in power TO this add the estimated value
of the 81 varieties of promises that Bry-
an uses to catch votes f; subtract the
sum total obtained by this combination
OF results from the increased valuation
of the commercial worth and greatness
of the United States since Republican
statesmen have had control, and you will
have balance in our country's favor

plan is to re-elect the present board,
