to think seriously Of the coming pri-

While everything looks favorable to
the cause of republicanism, the close

LOCAL DASHES,

Capt. c. Woodruff, custodian OF tne
soldiers relief fund, and X. A. Kent
commissioner for the poor, met in the
court house Monday morning and IN,
cidentally compared notes. Both de-
clared that the past six weeks have
been the most severe on the poor oil
the city OF any season in tine history
of their connection with work oil
charity. There were not an unusual
number OF calls for food. but the de-
mand for fuel and clothing was un'
precedented. And that old saying
about some people being mean
enough to steal the coins off OF dead
peoples eyes has had exemplification
in others who have stolen the coal
from the supply that was furnished
the poor out of the charity funds In
one instance Sc bushels was furnished
a widow, and it all disappeared in
less than two weeks. An investiga
ton and tests showed that she used
only about onerthird OF the fuel; the
path in the snow to the back window
OF her coal house being more worn
than the one to the front door The
distribution OF charity, where 1t will
not be dissipated. and where 1t will
do the most good, is one OF the mos,
difficult tasks in the category, and
can be done only at the price OF eter
nal vigilance.

Mr Brummitt is very confident that

the money invested in real estate in

Another reason given Is that the de-
