The County Court.

Once upon a time there was
crowd went out on fishing
trip to be gone some weeks. They
appointed one man cook and he
served until some one kicked on
the grub when the kicker had to
take the job of cooking and serve
until some other one made kick.
We think this story applies to
the county court. The present
court may not be the best cooks
in the world, but after looking the.
situation over thoroughly we fail
to see where they could have got
up a much better, meal out of the
material on hand. We are not
kicking on their work r.
dor'+ cauee I'VE
see where we could have
done much different from what
they have done. But the court is
receiving more or less criticism
and we think that the parties who
are kicking on the financial meal
the court is serving should them
selves apply for the job of cooking.
In other words let some of those
who think they could do better
than the present court announce
their candidacy for the places IS
Judges of the county court. So
far as we have heard none of the
members of the court are candi-
dates for reelection.
Taney comfy needs a county
court OF good sound business men.
men who know some law and have
a good idea of business and f1nan-
cial ability. Ifthere are anv men
who know just how the business
OF the county should be conducted |
it is their duty as good citizens to
stand for the nomination for Judges
OF the county court.

nection we want to make few state

for the coming year for IS or 80 cents
Now next year don't come to US in
dividually and expect US to give you
the paper a year for the same price, for
we can't do it. We can't afford to
make the subscription price less than
q dollar and we are not going to charge
one man dollar and let another have
it for seventy-ive cents. But we can
afford to make an inducement to any
one to get out and hustle for US. And
we want it understood that this club
offer is not a reduction of the sub
scription price but simply an allowance
for work done for US. We will not ac-
cept less than a dollar for year sub
scription this year or next, but We will
accept 400 for five subscriptions or
$3.50 for ten this year and we will DO
the same next year. This club offer
applies equally to old subscribers as
well as new as We believe in giving
the old subscribers all the advantages

any misunderstanding we will say that

THE unfair nomination OF Stone
is not mere theory but a dis
graceful event in the political his
tory of Missouri 1t has no par
allel in that history. 1t is not to
be supposed that the honest Dem
ocrats Of the state will look
complacently upon its repetition,
and vet the same element which
prevented Folk from going to the
Senate will do the same thing
again unless he can overcome
them in the vote Of the city. The
outcome of the contest between
Francis and Folk is almost GER
tain to be the disruption OF the
Democratic party in the state.
The two elements may seem to be
harmonized but as a matter OF
fact their tomahaWks will ghsten
in the sunlight Of party politics
as soon as Folk makes his an
nouncement as canidate for the
Senate.

A failing tiny nerve-no larger than
the finest silken thread-takes from
the heart its impulse, its regularity.
The stomach also has its hidden, or
inside nerve. 1t was DR.. Shoop who
first told us it was wrong to drug
weak or failing stomach, heart or
kidneys. His prescription-Dr. Shoop' S
Restorative directed straight for the
cause of these ailments these weak
and faltering inside nerves. Thls, no
doubt clearly explains why the Restor-
ative has of late grown so rapidly IN
popularity. Druggists say that those
who test the Restorative even for few
DAYS soon become fully convinced OF
its wonderful merit. Anyway don
drug the organ. Treating the cause ol
sickness is the only sensible and sue
cessful way. Sold by Nance Drug Co.

Fire Damage.

The dry weather and high winds OF
the past week have caused consider
able damage from forest fires. Most
of this damage has been confined to
fences, outbuildings and unoccupied
houses. So far as learned no occupied
residences have been burned.
The house and considerable fencing
on Ike ArnoId's place northwest of
town was destroyed Saturday.
Saturday night the fire came in on
N. c. Peterson's place at HAfcrest
and burned the fences. While fight
ing the fire Mr.. Peterson had one arm
and one leg badly burned. So far as
we have heard this is the only case of
anyone, being badly burned

These were probably the greatest
losses close to Forsyth although there
have been several smaller ones. Our
correspondents tell of fires in their
communities. About all the benefit
that will derive from these fires is that
q few million ticks were killed.

prevailed upon to be present at the first
representation of the work of a con

were much applauded by the public, he
had kept a gloomy silence. The third
act was less favorably received, and a
