REGULAR NOMINATIONS.

Jackson Sun.
But one candidate entering with
in the specified time, Judicial Com
mittees in the State have, to date,
declared eight party nominations
for Judges, Attorneys-G General and
Chancellor. Chancellor Bullock
is amongst the number thus NOM
mated; his nomination having been
declared in the same manner as
that of his predecessor, Chancellor
Hawkins. Throughout the State,
where but one candidate has en-
tered the primary, judicial nomi-
nations have been thus declared.
A great many like nominations
have been made during the pres
ent fall for county officers, three of
them being in Madison County.
The nominations thus made for
judicial and county Offices are reg
ular and entitle the nominees to
the vote of all Democrats, however
much they may differ upon politi-
cal issues.
Nominations made i'll this man
ner embrace nominees who differ
upon the political issues which
disturb the party. Nevertheless
Democrats generally are standing,
regardless of the political views
entertained by the nominees. The
exceptions are few, and are con-
fined to partisan extremist, on the
one side or the other, whose feel
ings are SO intense, that they can
not recognize party regularity, or
the fact that there is no reason, or
excuse for repudiating party nom-
nations for Judicial Offices, merely
because the nominee does notagree
with them in their views on certain
issues within the party.
Those who are thus induced by
partisan bitterness to repudiate
these nominations, or any of them
must be regarded as boilers.

fear as she recognized her uncle. He
did not say why he had deserted her
or tell where he had been, but harshly
ordered her to pack her "duds' and go

Pennsylvania Has Twenty of Them,

Through the grange organizations in
the state of Pennsylvania there has
been worked out practical demon
stration of the fact that farmers are
able to have and successfully operate
their own financial institutions. In
the short space of about three years.
says Past Master Hill, some twenty
banks and one trust company have
been organized. The capital stock Of
these institutions is considerably over
$1,000 600. and their resources at this
time approximate S3,000O00.
There are about 5000 shareholders
in these various institutions, and while
the institutions all receive the usual
examination by the state and federal
authorities they are also audited and
thoroughly examined at frequent IN
tervalS by private auditors specially
employed for this purpose by the insti-
tutions themselves. They are so or
gained that not one of them is in any
way responsible for the operation Of
another, nor Is there any liability at

been largely realized. and well nigh
million members are now within its
fold, while other farm organizations
are following the lead of the grange
and keeping step with millions more.
Other ideals were meeting together,
selling together, working together.

in general acting together for mutual

folds of her scanty calico skirt and the
shawl about her shoulders Her name
was Mary. and as for her other name-it
does not matter. She had hardly dared
TO use it for eighteen long years, and
she thought of this as she drew neal

She could just family remember that
first sad Christmas thirty years before
when her father, mother and herself
were taken TO the city pesthouse. She
never saw them after that day. for
when she left the hospital she went
away alone. Mary was only six wears
old then and her life seemed to have
begun in her uncle's tenement, where
the health officer had left her 1t was
even then life of poverty and hunger
Her uncle was a strange man and be-
fore she came had lived all by himself.
When she was little older he sent
her out upon the streets to beg and
then cursed her because she was 50

she met her first friend. a very kind
young man. who took her hand and
told her she mustn't beg. He took her
down into Pie alley and gave her sup

girl herself next day. which was bet

as they could for her meager wages.

no time for play. 1t was scarcely

Tom Haley. who was a janitor in the
store. 1t seemed very strange that
Tom. who was several years older,
should care for her and should want
to take her to walk on Sunday after
moons, but when they knew each other
better and after Tom had asked her to

liked her was because she was so
