Greene County Primaries.

At the Republican primaries held
in Greene county recently the group
of men who have for years controlled
Republican politics in that county
were turned down cold. An entirely
new executive committee was selec-
ted and Ed Schmidt who has for years
been the head of the organization
there Is without representation on It.
This was great surprise to everyone
conversant with Greene county poll
tics as the organization was thoughtto
be the most impregnable In the state.
No machine 1t seems can become 80
strong but that when direct primaries
are held the people are liable to
throw II In the ditch. The word of
Ed Schmidt In Greene county has for
years been the absolute law and now
he can't even talk. You can never
tell what the people will do.

Memoir.

Ellen Sanders, daughter of Thomas
and Sarah Sanders, was born Nov. 16,
1912, and departed this life Aug. 8,
1908, aged 65 years, 8 months and 81
days. She was the Youngest of a
family of six children, composed of
four daughters and two sons. She
vas always frail and much solicitude
was felt by parents, brothers and sis
ters about her condition. She grew
TO womauhood near the village of
Samantha. At the death of her father
the home was sold and the mother
and children removed to Missouri,
where they remained for three years,
but failing to find the church privil-
eges and fellowship of former asso.
Citations they returned In the year
1871 and purchased a farm close to
the Fairview Friends Church. AL
though her training had been of a
superior character and her convic-
tions as to duty we're keenly alive,
yet she saw 1t was not by works of
righteousness that she could do that
would purchase for her an interest In
eternal things. And under the power
ful ministry Of John Henry Douglas, In
a protracted effort held at Fairview,
she found Christ as her Savior. In

If you are believer in temperance
and desire to advance its cause you
can not do otherwise than cast your
vote this fall for Gov. Harris. His
actions, both as president of the sen.
ate and governor, have called forth
the bitter opposition of the liquor
people and they are united In their
effort to defeat him. They have en-.
dorsed Harmon and villihed Harri-.
Can Yol be an honest and sincere
temperance man and do other than
vote for Harris.

Vote at Primaries.


Quite number of men have already
announced their candidacy for nomi-
nation for different Offices on the Re-
publican ticket this fall. 1t is your
duty to look over the list, examine
the qualifications of each and then
see that you vote for delegates from
your precinct that will be for your
choice. Every Republican in High
land county should vote at the coming
primary. If this is done there can
be no doubt but that the Republican
ticket placed In the field this fall will
be 80 strong that 1t will draw much
Democratic support. Too little inter
est has always been taken by the peo.
Pile in the selection of nominees for
the different Offices, and as long as
they continue to do this 1t will be
largely a matter of luck If they secure
honest, competent and efficient public
servants. 1t is much to your interest
and as much your duty to vote at
primary as an election. Don't let
few men pick the officials who are to
work for you, If you we're going to
have a man look after your private
Affairs would you have some one else
make the selection. Watch for the
;all of the primaries and remember
he day and take time enough of to
vote that day. II will be the best in
-estment yod can make, as the men
elected will work for you for the next
wo wears,

New Vienna and thence to Highland,
and those of us who have known her
most intimately have been most con-
vinced of her true piety and noble
self-sacri6cing spirit. About two
months prior to her death she re-
marked to friend that she was con-
vinced that her work here was almost
done, and she would not be with us
much longer. Upon the remonstrance
of her friend at such a thought she
repeated the statement that II would
be but few weeks at most. She was

never seeking honor for herself, but
anxious that such promotions should
be made in the church as would ad-
vance the cause of truth. She served
