WILEY 7. JOBE..

The subject of this sketch is a
candidate for Tax Assessor of
| Nevada County, subject to the
primary election next March.
He is an unassuming gentleman
never having asked the people of
his county for anything before,
Notwithstanding the fact that he
has lived within it's borders for
the past ffty-three years. He
has been an untiring worker for
his party ever since his majority,
but has been perfectly satisfied
with having worked for his
favorite candidate, and taking
the result as absolute pay for his
lators. Now in his declining
years-the sun set period of his
life after having had swept
from him all his substance by
circumstances that he could not
control. he asks the good people
of this county to help him obtain
this small office that he may save
that most dear to him and his
wife-his home. He says that
all he can say for his two oppo-
nents is that they are perfect
gentlemen and worthy of any
thing that the people may see
fit to bestow upon them.
Mr.. Jobe is an undaunted
Christian and has lived a life
that he is willing for the public
to probe. He will endeavor to
see every one that he possibly
can before the primary election,
but. should he fail to see you, he
asks your vote and influence for
the same.
Consider his claims, voters,
and he will abide the results.

KEEP THE KIDNEYS WELL
Health is Worth Saving, and Some
Prescott People Know How to
Save it.

Many Prescott people take their lives
in their hands by neglecting the kid
neys when they know these organs
need help. Sick kidneys are rsyonsi-
BILE for vast amount of suffering and
i'll health, but there is no need to suf-
fer nor to remain in danger when all
diseases and aches and pains due to
weak kidneys can be quickly and per
manently cured by the use of Doan's
Kidney Pills. Here is a citizens re-
commentator.
A S. Blythe, Prescott, Ark, says:
II procured Doan's Kidney Pills at
Hesterly's drug store, and they cured
me of most distressing case of kidney
disease that had annoyed me for sever
al years. | had been bothered by a
stiffness and soreness in the small of
my back and too frequent passages of

Pills soon corrected these difficulties
and have noticed no symptoms of a
recurrence since.

If BAILEYS LEAD is FOLLOWED

If Senator Bailey's lead is to
be followed the democratic party
must forsake its position as a
representative of the interests of
the people and become the repre-
sentative of the interests of the
few; it must repudiate its ancient
teachings of the greatest good
to the greatest number, " and
must substitute therefor the
greatest good to the favored
few" it must relinquish its claim
as the champion of a tariff for
revenue only and espouse the

FRED H. PHILLIPS.

The above named gentleman
was in town last week looking
after his interests in the race
for Commissioner of Mines,
Manufacturers. etc. Mr.. Phillips
is from Yell county and comes
we'll recommended by his people.
He is a farmer but has had con-
siderable experience in public
affairs, having served as Circuit
Clerk of his County for four
years. He has the appearance
of an elegant gentleman and
made quite a good impression on
the people of this county with
whom he came in contact while
in our little city.

Speak a good word for your
home town and county whenever
an opportunity presents itself.
More towns die for want Of pub
lie spirit and confidence on the
part of business men than from
rivalry of neighboring towns or
adverse surroundings. When a
man is in search of a home or a
business location, and goes to a
town and finds every thing brim-
full of hope and enthusiasm over
the prospects of the place, and
earnestly at work to build up the
town, he soon becomes imbued
with the same spirit, and as a
result he drives down his stake
and goes to work with the same
interest. When, however, he
goes to town and everyone ex-
presses doubt and appreciation
as to the future prospects OF the
place, musing about and indulg-
ing in mourning. complaining
about imaginable evils which are
likely to befall the town, he natu-
rally feels that it is not the place
for him, and at once shakes the
dust from his feet, while he pulls
with all possible speed for some
other town. Consequently, try
to make a live enterprising, pro
gressive town out of the one in
which you live, and remember
when you are working for or
saying a good word for your
town you are accomplishing all
the more for your self. Then
speak a good word for your
town. Elk.

Atlanta News: To hear a young
man made in the image of God,
with a bright mind, a future of
wonderful possibilities, spouting
profanity as volcano spouts fire
and birthstone, taking in vain the
name of his Creator, fills US with
pity and disgust. There might
be some excuse given for other
forms of sin, but more for swear
ing.
The main excuse for swearing
is that it enables a man with a
limited vocabulary to carry on a
conversation and impress his
hearers as he believes with
the idea that the speaker has de-
cided convictions upon the SUBJ
iect in hand. To interiard ones
conversation with oaths is as
lacking in good taste as would be
the setting of a newspaper all
in big and ugly display type IN
order to try to emphasize the
editors views. Elk.

CAPE COD RAISES FINE cRANBERRIEs

Fruit is Cultivated in Swampy Land
Otherwise Of Little Value
How many persous when enjoying the
delicious sauce made from the cranberry
can tell how the berry grows and how it
is cultivated2 Probably many are aware
that most Of the best berries come from
Cape Cod in Massachusetts, but some
might not know that good ones are raised
in New Jersey and Wisconsin. There are
small patches scattered in other sections
of the country, bnt Cape Code reputation
as the greatest cranberry raising district
remains undisputed. The berries from
tile cape are she best in quality and al
ways command tile highest prices.
The ideal plot for q cranberry patch is
swamp bog land. which is ueaaIIy over
grown with shrubs aad other plant life
characteristic OF Cape Cod before i is
made ready for planting.
This moist boggy land i EFsl cleared Of
all growths and also q tlls ton layer 81

many persons. The vines yield nothing
the first year, small crop the second
year and their fall fruitage the third gear.
TIE plants do not need TO be renewed
often. III fact, the patches bear for years
with tie usual care that any farmer would
give to strawberry patch, for instance.
In planting cranberry bog the sucksrs
of older vines are for the new plauss and
these are placed in the ground in the
spring. sometimes up TO as late as May.
There runners are bent in the middle and
pushed into the ground several inches
with stick.
The cranberry season is a lsirly long
one The largest volnms Of tile fruit and
the beet in quality comes in the fall aud
winter months, but the last If August or
first Of September and often until May
will fiud the berries for sale az many
places. The most berries come 10 market
during February. TIE gathering of the
crop is carried on expediently and with
very little damage to tue vines by the use
of scoop having rake-like eegs III
trout, but otherwise like an ordinary coal
shoyel.
This fork like scoop l. run through the
vines allowing the berries to be deposited
iu the rear solid portion. The fl 81 years
crop, however, is usually picked by baud
on account Of the tenderness Of the young
vines.
The cranberry crop this year is going
to be large one, according to some Of
the largest wholesale dealers in B,ston.
The qnality of the fruit in the market
Thus far has been good In large lots at
wholesale cranherries are bringing $3.50
per barrel. Figuring 100 quarts to the
barrel, the price in largs lots is only
shade more than 5 cents per qrart. But
the purchaser Of few quarts will have
to pay possibly as high as Is cents per
quart for the red and yellow berries. This
is attributed to the number of hands
which the article passes through before
it reaches the actual consumer, and all
the time at gradually rising price.

ment of naval bases will Do Canadass
contribution to the naval power Of the
British empire. The question came M
in the House Of Commons yesterday af-
ternoon on a resolution offered By George
Il. Foster, the opposition leader. In a
very moderate speech, Mr. Foster ex-
pressed himself against contribution
to the British navy in the form III either
battleships of money. He favored the
development Of a cruiser squadron by
Canada to defend her commerce in time
of trouble
The policy Of the government was an
nouneed by Sir Wilfrid Laurier He re-
called that the colonial conference in
1902 Canada had undertaken to look of.
ter her own military and naval defense.
Since then the land force had been put
into good sahpe and now, he said, some
thing would be done with the naval force.
The British naval authorities had adj
vised the government, he continued, that
battleships from the colonies were not
desired so much as the development of
dry docks, repair stations and naval
bases and in connection with them sub.
marine and cruiser squadrons to act with
the flying sqnadrons OF Great Britain's
battleships in time Of war.
Premier Lanrier gave Parliament TO
understand that the Canadian govern.
ment would take action along the lines
suggested and that the building of the
boats soon would be started by Cam
ada.
