lon The Porch at Peldag.

Last night we were discussing on the
porch various features Of the Legislative
campaign. Several articles which have
heretofore appeared in the COURIER
seemed TO strike discursive chord in
the minds snd manners Of my assembled
friends.
We had all resd Mr. Grigsby's letter.
and thought that he had put the matter
pretty plainly, hut, when we read Mr..
Reardon's reply, we found it was not
quite so plain
No matter how smooth and straight is
the roadway, TWO teams that meet must
turn aside in order 10 pass.
To the layman's mind it looks very
simple: The mere fact that Warren
county has Acknowledged Clarke's right
10 nominate the Legislative candidate al
this time eliminates any action on the
part Of Warren prior to the nomination.
Tom says, why should Warren 90 10
the expense and trouble OF s. primary 10
nominate Clarke county candidate"
Yes, said Dies, specially as Warren
is going - vote for the Clarke nominee.
if she keeps her promise
But" said l, Warren has always
hept her promises, politically, and the
gentlemen now in charge of her political
affairs are beyond criticism. II we
nominate man for the Legislature from
Clarke, Warren is bound to support him,
I nv 81 h.,- l
sertions: therefore, it behooves Us to send
a man to get the Warren vote who will
do the best he can for Warren as we'll As
! Clarke"
"Wha; kind Of a man do we wantg"
asked Tom.
The best" said l.
well, but, Phiness, who is the bests"
All said l. the best is he who does
the best for his constituents. He who
will work and aim to reduce taxation
from the Alpine height at which il now
stands; who will improve the public
highways, who will put the public
/ schools in the hands OF those who know
how to handle them: who will vote in
every case for the best interests Of his
/ constituency, as God has given him the
light TO see il"
! Personally, continued I, Il would
like To see man secure the nomination
whose public utteranceS will be couched
in such language as will obviate the
necessity of the editorial blue pencil
or the linguistic pruning hook. think
all my friends on the porch will agree
with me in hoping for s. mqn who has
the courage of his own convictions and
the ability to express them in decent and
understandable language"
Amen" said Tom, Dick and Harry

Mrs. Wiley Attempts Suicide.

The citizens of this community
were shocked to learn last Sunday
that Mrs. Harriet Russell Wiley,
wife of Mr.. j. ID. Wiley. had
made an attempt to end her life
while on a visit TO her husbands
family at Middletown, Frederick
county.
As far a. can be learned here.
Mrs. Wiley had arisen early on
Sunday morning and went to the
kitchen to take some medicine.
While there. she secured a sharp
kitchen knife and drew it across
her throat, making long aud ugly
cash, but missing the jugular vein.
DIR. 4. L. Weaver. the Wiley
family physician. was quickly
summoned, and stopped the flow
OF blood and stitched up the wound.
1t ) said that her life was saved by
the prompt efforts OF DR.. Weaver.
Mr. John NJ. Russell. Alrs.
Nilley's father. is now with her.
and none of the family can be reach
ed for statement OF the affairs
although telephone message this
morning states tina, the physician,
are Of the opinion that Mrs. WILEY
viii entirely recover unless blood
poisoning occurs from the wound.
Mrs. Wiley had not been in
rubust health for some time. and
1t Is supposed that worry over her
physical condition temporarily
unbalanced her mind.

Dear Sir: There are thousands Of
people saying; That's what call a
good job Of paint. il has worn three
years. I'm going 10 repaint before it
needs II; three years Is enough"
Those people are long way behind
the times. There are two reasons for
painting; those people know only one;
they are thinking only Of wear: Of keep
iuCout ajer. Three years NAV be too
long for the looks Of paint. il isn't .alf
long enough for the wear- II all YOU
want OF paint il 20 keep-Out water Devoe
is good for n dozen years in average
places And that isn't all.
The cost Of the job is the first thing to
thinkOf, and, If you think Of it right.
you needn't bother with wear.
The paint that takes least gallons
makes the lesst bill for both paint and
painting; people forget the labor bin: it's
the biggest bill in the Job. \ gallon
saved is about .. Five gallons saved Is
$25. The paint that saves gallons
that's the paint TO wear.
Geo W Brown, Union, : c, painted B
