WHATEVER else may be true of VIM.
j. Bryan, he is no trimmer. He went
into the county option fight in Nebraska
knowing that his own political future
was at stake on the issue and knowing
that the odds were strongly against
him. Believing thoroughly in the
principle and the democracy of county
option, Mr.. Bryan accepted the issue,
fought it out before the Nebraska con

eliminates Mr.. Bryan as democratic
candidate for the presidency in 1912, but
In the present unsettled state of party
politics il may give him new life and
prominence that will cause the old par.

Bryan will not bolt the democratic

The outcome OF the Nebraska conven

day that the Mauiites probably have
some good horses in the woods and are
not going to spring them until the last
minute.

Rumors have been set aaoat to the

the horse was brought here to Homo

doubt good results will follow. The
Palestine Board of Trade, in connec'

will hold a good roads session pretty
soon, at which time it is proposed to
define some definite way of getting
permanent roads for this county
Quite a number of people are think

some good suggestions will be forth
coming when the meeting is held. The
county needs the roads, and good
school houses, and more farm houses.
and more farmers, and more intensive
cultivation, and a number of other
things that will come in time if our
people are up and doing.
