Scratch Discarded Ballots.

1t may not he amiss to explain
that after preparing the party ticket
one intends to vote the other ballots
should be marked with long cross
extending from top to bottom of the
ballot. When the ballot you wish
to vote is handed to the judge Of
election wait to see that he deposits
1t in the ballot box. At the same
time hand him the discarded ballots,
which he will place in II receptacle
provided for that purpose.
To insure the absolute secrecy of
the ballot, both the ballot you wish
to cast and the discarded ballots
should be handed to the election
judge folded in manner 80 as to
prevent him or others present from
telling how you voted.

Obituary.

On 8edn esday evening, September D, while helping her mother With supper, Mary. the sweet daughter of Mr ana Mrs. NJ Davidson. of Colt. ac- cideHta1Iy caught her clothing ou ire. and becoming frightened, ran for water. thus flaming the flames which soon covered her whole body: bgt her sister ran 10 her assistance. and throwing quilt over her. smothered the ire. bat at this moment Mary was 50 overcome that she tainted
 Dr SteWart was called at once. and or account of some of the burns being complicated, Br Lipsey, 6f Wynne was called in consultation, but she soon became perfectly easy and seem ed 10 be improving until just few minutes before death seized her.
 Mary was q kind and obedient child. To know her was to love her While she vas only thirteen years of age, she was quite womanly in her habits. Everyone thought that she was i'm proving rapidly and she seemed to think herself much better. and had asked if she might attend school on Monday. and had reasoned that she could wear gloves. and that it would not ba known that she was burned. but during those flights of hope, God thought Mary that earthly physicians were unable 10 heal her wounds, and she so informed her parents. and soon the death angel visited her home and waited her spirit an wings to a celes- tial home where there is a great phy- sician 8 healer Of al diseases. Mary was rather conservative q school. d. though she was very intelligent and a most excellent student. She was well liked hy all of her school mates. and especially bY her class mates and teacher, and the school looks upon her vacant seat with sadness. and ex= tend their sympathy as whole through their committee. 10 Ter he. reayed relatives and friends.

Quite loo much is being said ard written of Night Riders n Arkansas.

 bands of desperate meH ~ho have
 been operating in other state,. We could hot Imagine any ~ach outiaHry existing iH this part of dear cd .Ark-

 reside. where la~ and order reign- supreme. and where peace and plenty. and prosperity and happiness is the portion of al industrious and frugal citizens We believe aIs0 that these
 reports are hurtful 70 the state and to

CURE AT CITY MISSION.
Awful Case of Scabes-Body Mass
Of Sores from Scratching-Her
Tortures Yield to Cuticura.

"a young woman came to our city
mission in most awful condition physi-
cally. Our doctor examined her and
told us that she had scabies (the itch) /.
incipient paresis, rheumatism. etc,
brought on from exposure. Her poor
body was a mass of sores from scratch
ing and she was not able to retain solid
food. Weworked hard over her for seven
weeks but we could see little improve
ment. One day l bought cake Of
Cuticura Soap and a bottle of Cuti-
cura Resolvent, and we bathed our
patient we'll and gave her a full dose
Of the Resolvent She slept better that
night and the next day / got box Of
Cuticura Ointment. In five weeks this
young woman was able 10 look for a
position, and sheis now strong and well.

PERHAPS A NATURAL MISTAKE.
Physician Had Reason to Think He
Had Lost His Patient.

Henry Grimm, who was formerly
one of the prominent members OF the
German-American society, tells story
about a German friend of his who
was taken i'll.
For many days the German was
close to death, but after time he
showed Improvement in condition.
The doctor told the Germans wife
that her husband might have any
thing to eat that he liked.
The German expressed a desire for
Limburger cheese, and the wife, being
a generous woman and pleased at the
improvement. and in order that her
husband might have nibble at any
time he had a taste for it, put some
cheese in every room in the house.
1t is easy to imagine the aroma.
The next morning the doctor called
at the house, and as soon as he opened
the door he asked:
when did he die ?"-Hartford Post.

the CALL OF THE SOIL.
DAYS OF FINANCIAL = STRESS
MAKE FARM LANDS LOOK
RICH.

A staff contributor OF southern
newspaper has taken up the question
OF the return to the farm of many who
had forsaken it for the glitter of the
city. He says: ut is well known
fact that the history Of this Govern
ment shows that those men who have
been most successful in life and who
have left their impress upon its peo-
pie and its institutions as statesmen,
soldiers, financiers-have as a rule
been those whose youth was spent on
the farm, and it is to such as these
that there comes with overmastering
power THE CALL OF THE SOIL.
More especially does it come with re-
doubled persuasiveness, greater pow
er and sweeter pleading to the man OF
affairs when the clouds OF financial
unrest begin to darken the sky; when
the cry of panic causes people to lose
their wits and act like stampeded cat
tie; when with reason or without
reason there arises before him the
specter of ruin. grinning in his face
and waving its gaunt arms In threat
ening gesticulation.
The pitiable state into which some
men were brought by the recent finan-
cial furry. which happily is now
passed, suggests these reflections.
Some were ruined and a very few be-
came insane because OF their losses.
Two or three took their own lives.
It is when such times come that the
statesman, the great financier, and
the man of affairs becomes tired OF
the struggle. He lays down his pen,
turns from his desk and listens to
the CALL OF THE SOIL.
There are hundreds of cases
throughout the United States OF those
who have money in the banks and are
looking for investment In lands. No
investment is better or safer. Take,
for instance, the lands in Western Can
ada that can be bought at from $40 to
SIS per acre which yield revenue
equal to and often greater than their
original cost Those lands make a
certain investment. During the past
two months large investments In
these lands have been made, some in
tending to use the lands for farming
purposes of their own. Others to re
sell to farmer friends. The agents oil
the Government of Canada located al
different points throughout the United
| States have in their possession par
ticulars of districts in which there are
free homestead grants of 160 acres
each accessible to railways, markets
schools, churches, &c. These are val
liable lands. These agents will BIZ
pleased to give information to any de
sirous of securing, and will tell al
about the railway rates, &c.
