J. w. McClelland, candidate for
probate judge, had himself billed for
trip through the timber district this
week to interview The sovereigns.

he did he is liable to have some sore

Bremen to get together and tell their

Our r. F. d. boys are up to the
latest. They have been reading of
a new invention that flies in the air
like bird, on land it goes to beat
an auto, and when 1t strikes the
water it beats a gasoline boat, and
they have decided that is just the
thing they long have sought, and
when they get'cm, if they ever do,
they will get there, Eli. No dust on
the X. F. d. boys these days.

KEEP PEGGING AWAY.

"There's room at the top for the
fellow who's bound to land on the
summit some day; the trails pretty
rough, and there's holes in the
ground, and there's danger of going
astray; but the top will be reached
BY the strong. patient soul, who is
ever keeping his eye on the goal, and
always keeps pegging away. There's
trouble to burn in the valley of grief,
and the skies are oft sullen and gray,
but man never finds that it brings
him relief to murmur, grumble and
bray; he'll find that it lightens his
burden of gloom, and chases his
grievances clear up the fume, if he
only keeps pegging away. The men
who are busy miss half Of the woe
that's hunting for victims to slay
they get al the cream in the valley
below; while idlers subsist on the
whey; while Fortune kicks other.
she'll give you a kiss, you'll wiz
more applause, and you'll know more
of bliss, if you always keep pegging
away" WALT Mason.

The merchants of Versailles have
decided, owing, we suppose, to the
changeable weather of the present
season, not to have any 4th this year.
While we believe it is a mistake, the

spend your money on the always
glorious 4th.

Kansas City, June 9th This is
the home Of the State Chairman, Wal

know them. Therefore, look well to your interest and see that you are not deceived.
 My other opponent, MT. 0. C. Lud wig, is the rankest kind of schemlng politician, who has been too cowardly to come out in the open and make a decent race for congress, yet he has hired henchment to traverse the dis trict, parading the fact that he is the aboring mans friend. Let me call your attention to this fact: That by every vote that he has ever cast on the penitentiary board, of which he is a member, he has voted in the interest of leasing the convicts to public con- tractors, which is directly against the interests of organized labor. Yet he pretends to be friend to the labOring man. Records speak for themselves, and 1 invite you to look at them. He also holds an office, to which you have elected him, has been all during this campaign using 1t to subserve his sel- fish interests He has converted your office into political headquarters, and the state has paid men to help run his campaign. He has had his deputy, who draws $125 per month of your money, working and seheming to elect him to congress. He has had his son on the pay-rolls of the state at $l00 pe~ month, and who has been earning this salary by hanging up posters and electioneering throughout several counties of the district to secure the election of his father He has had at his command all the powers and ad- vantages that the secretary of states office gives a man, and he has used them and will use them to the very end in an effort to defeat the will of the people.
 Therefore, l warn you to be on your guard and look out for every kind of report that can be mustered to in- fluence the voter. Every conceivable thing will be resorted to, even to using whskey and money against me. Friends, look out, and stand by your convictions, and the victory is ours.

Fellow Citizens The campaign is drawing to a close and there Is no question about the results if my friends will only stay with me. l have made hard, clean fight for the masses of the people, and feel that 1t has been approved by them, but now is the time when the laboring men of the district should be on guard, for there is going to be every effort made to lure you to vote against your interests. Neither of my opponents are in sym Oathy with the labOring masses of the district; they are out for office and that is all; and they are going to re- solt to every trick on earth to make you believe that they are the friend of the laboring people of the district, but 1 ask you to look and think foi yourselves. l Wsnt to say that the news comes to me from all over the district that there is an effort being made by both of them to hire men Wno represent the laboring classes to work against me on election day; and against these men 1 warn you to be on guard

Dear Farmer Friends and Laboring Men in general, you as well as l, know that no lawyer will represent your interests as he will the interests of the profes- sions. l have demonstrated to many of you in joint debate the weakness of my young lawyer friend. He does not know your needs; but nevertheless, will seek by any means to secure the votes to elect him.

 I should like to say much in com mendaticn of the Pupils Reading Cir cle as an agency for the benefit of the pupil, but for want of space will se- serve my remarks for another time. Prof. Forrest is our county manager and all inquiries concerning the work should be sent to him, or to Dr. John son at Fayetteville. Dr. Johnson's let ter was sent to this column by Mir Forrest March l44.
The log cabin Democrat., 1910-03-15

Below is a summary of a letter re- lating to reading circle work which IS being sent out by Dr. Johnson, the president. The circular was sent in two weeks ago, but was found too long for use in this column and was return ed to the writer for abridgment. The letter is in substance as fo.fows.---
 Dear Sir and Friend: 1 am sending you this circular letter in which l give below the books selected for the A. T. R. c. This letter is going only to the country district manager. Hence you will please inform the teachers with whom you come in contact so that they may join the circle, purchase books and get to work on the course.
 The A. T. R. C. year has been chang ed to correspond with the school year. Hence the present adoption of books will extend to June 1, 1911. All who complete the four years course by Christmas will receive the diploma as before Please let it be understood that diplomas will be issued only at the State Teachers Association. We issued 235 diplomas at the last meet ing. We hope there will be no less than 800 teachers present to receive the diploma this year. Teachers may do back work till they catch up with the course. We desire very much that those who completed the course last Christmas will continue the work and thus receive the eight-yea1 diploma in 1913.
 1 will send the list of books for the Pupils Reading Circle at the earliest date possible The list contains 20 volumes for the different grades. The entire set will cost about $11 or SIP. The children may be called on to pur- chase the books individually. But the school itself should own a set of the books, as they are splendid supple mentary reading, and serve to fill in l the idle time of those students who give considerable annoyance when not employed
 Let us all do what we can for the i children in this line One man or set of men can not do much, but where all have the interest at heart then sue , cess is assured.
 Let our ambition this year be "Ev- cry a member of the A. T. R. c. and set of the Pupils Reading Circle books in every school in the state" With best wishes,
