Aaron picked up sometime ago that
there would be a wedding soon and
the groom would be from a distant
land and the bride would be beauti-
full and accomplished young lady Of
this vicinity. Now there are 4 young
ladies' and each one thinks she is the
one limited at. Young Aaron is glad
that there are so many young ladies
with such bright prospects for titled
husbands from abroad. But Young
Aaron does feel sorry for the home
young men that are waiting on these
young ladies so attentively with their
minds full of bright prospects for the
time, like the young peoples meetings,
be united, never dreaming that the
union will be with the fellow from
abroad and they will be left broken
hearted to mourn the departed. But
do not let the gladness and sorrow Of
these titled prospective weddings
dim your vision Of the pretty home
wedding nearly due.
A band has been organized at Vir-
ginia and in order to raise expense
money they will give Saturday night,

gram. The young people Of Amster-
dam and Hume have been kind

is no doubt but what there will be an
interesting program. Those interest

went and took their dinner. Mrs.

the dirt lively on the Bell farm.
Mark Cole, with his three grays
and new riding plow are moving dirt,
while Uncle Tom, in the old-fashion-
ed way, is getting the stalks off Of
the ground. When Clover was a
boy, we cut the stalks with a hoe,
picked and piled them by hand and
then burned them, but Uncle Tom
dug his down, then picked and piled
them.
There seems to be some kind of a
malignant sore throat going about
over the county seeking whom it may
afflict; Missile Miller had one for some
two weeks. If it had not been for
her nerve, she would have had to dis
miss her school, and Miss Ada has
had it for two or three days, while
their mamma is complaining of being
afflicted with it also, and we hear
that it is general.
Monday night we had fine rain,

did on the Superintendent three
years ago.

fight for everything that is worth
having; We must fight against every
thing bad. The farmer must not only
be personally opposed TO weeds, but
he must cut them down and make an
active warfare against them, or his
crops will be ruined. In government
al affairs the same relation exists
between the useful grain that must
be sown and cared for and worthless
thistles and weeds that will spring
up of their own accord anywhere. A
government neglected will no more
become good than a neglected field
will grow corn and wheat
The future of our government
rests upon the integrity of the citi-
zen and upon his activity In public
affairs. Good government must be-
gin at home, in cities and towns, and
proceed from there to state and ma
tion. This government rests not on
the wealth of few, but upon the
character and integrity of the aver.

Issues BeclOuded.

If the issue could be represented
squarely between public rights and
special privilege everywhere, there
would be no doubt as TO the out
come. For the majority of the peo-
pie here and everywhere will do right
when they know right. The repre-
sentatives of privilege are too shrewd
to permit a plain issue between pub
lie rights and special privilege to go
before the people. They adroitly
manage to complicate the main issue
with other questions so as to bewil-
der men of even the best intentions.
BY confusing the issue the repre-
sentatives of privilege divide the
forces in opposition
Those who object to reform do not
usually put their protest upon the
true ground, but they seek some
other preteXt They ask why Is not
this or that done? If one examines
the source OF complaint like this
he will usually find that 1t Is not be-
cause of a desire that reform be
made more thorough but to discredit
what has been done. II one sincere
ly desires progress in the way of
better things, instead of criticism he
will give his help in the accomplish
ment of the things wished for Re
form always progresses by degrees
everything can not be done in a
! day
