HOT FIGHT FOR SHERIFF
F. G. Bundy Files Papers as Inde-
pendent Candidate and Accepts
Democratic Nomination.

Caledonia county is to see a warm
fight over the position of sheriff dur
ing the present campaign. The con-
test among the republicans between
w. FL. Worthen, who won the nomina-
ton, and G. F. Winch, the present in
cumbent, left bad blood between the
advocates of each in the republican
ranks. So bitter is Mr.. Winch's dis
appointment that an effort was made
to make him the democratic nominee
in the county mass convention held
here Saturday forenoon, where he re-
ceived only three votes
In response to a demand by demo-
Gratis and republicans F. G. Bundy of
this village on Saturday filed with the
county clerk nomination papers as
an Independent candidate for sheriff.
The papars were signed by about so
voters and contain the names of men
of both parties. Their plan is not to
draw party lines at all but to vote for
Mr.. Bundy as a clean and independent
citizen. A few hours later Mr.. Bundy
was nominated as the democratic can
didate for sheriff, he receiving 28
votes to three for Mr.. Winch.

The Dates for Caledonia County
Fair.-New Attractions. Pre-
MUM Book Out.

September 13, IA and Is. Those
are the dates of the Caledonia county
fair for 1910. This is the 64th an
nual event, and it will certainly be
the best and most interesting of the
entire series. The premium book
which has just come from the press
sets the pace, containing over 100
pages, and offering larger premiums
than ever before. Active preparations
are being made all along the line,
Caledonian should watch for par
ticulars of the big show. This will be
a great year for horses, special in
ducements being offered by way of
increased premiums. Three thousand
are offered in racing purses, and in
the five stake races a large field of
horses is named.
The reputation of a fair is made
by its new and up-to-date features.
These will not be lacking at the
ing that this is the age of automobiles,
the management has named Thurs
day, September 18th, as automobile
day. A committee of prominent ST.
Johnsbury automobile dealers and
| owners, headed by Frank H. Brooks,
has this matter nscharge. The Auto
mobile club of Vermont has given
| the matter it's official sanction and
| the officers of this club are taking an
active interest in the automobile meet
which is planned. Two hundred and
fifty dollars in prizes will be given
! by the Fair Ground company, and var
ious attractions such as obstacle races,
a set time race, and a great parade of
| decorated cars, will be arranged.
| From 10 o'clock until in the after
noon the track will be given up to
automobile features, and it is expected
| that this will be a great drawing card.
From the beginning of the season
the manageme ent has been endeavor-
ing to make arrangements for a fly
ing machine and if this can be ar
ranged, it will certainly be the great
est attraction ever offered at the fair.
1t is practically assured that an aero
plane can be secured, but detailed
announcement cannot be made at pre-
sent
Perhaps even those who are in the
habit of attending the Caledonia fair
| do not realize how remarkable is the
annual display of blooded cattle. In
| this particular our fair has very few
equals, and there is every prospect
that the exhibit this year will be as
| good as ever. In the horse line, T.
| n. Vail of Lyndon, will make a large
exhibit Of some of his new blooded
| animals, which will be worth going
a long way to see.
The county fair means a great deal
| to the agricultural interests of this
section. The cry is now 'sback to the
soil,'' and an agricultural fair of this
| nature does much to further this
movement. The management is keep
ing abreast of the times in every par
ticular. and assures a better, bigger
and buster show than ever before
Premium books, entry blanks, and
full particulars may be obtained of
the secretary, Joseph Fairbanks, at
his Office at the Citizens Savings bank
block.
Remember the dates, September 13,
IA, and Is.

MONEY COMES SLOWLY.
Only About Three-Fifths of PilIsbury-
Baldwin Stock Taken as Yet

At the meeting of all the commit
tees of the Commercial club last Sat
urday Rev. Mr.. Dodge reported that
he had definite signatures for $24,0
of the stock and was confident he
could place enough more to bring
it up to $4,000. While he is still
at work and the undertaking is not
given up that was all he could re-
port at that time.
It was rumored on the street Mon
day that a prominent business man
of Rutland had learned the terms
offered by the Pillsbury-Baldwin Co.,
and wanted the business to come to
his city. He said if they would give
him two days he would raise the
$4,000 preferred stock required If
this is true, st. Johnsbury people must
act quickly or this large industry will
be captured by others.

him an easy prey to the ravages

white and black, and every. one
looked upon jeff Vavasseur
as a good, true and faithful
friend, a friend who was ever
ready togive his assistance to who
ever needed his help in case of
sickness or death, and it was one
of his greatest pleasures to always
present a beautiful bouquet to bis
white young friends on the occa-
sion of their marriages.
Always greeting bis friends with
pleasant smile and cordial sslu.

pleasure that this noble man wae
met by his friends, aud this meant

Philip Flour Mill

While in Philip last Saturday we
had the pleasure of taking trip
through the Philip Flour Mill.
This is a fine institution; one we
may all be proud of. People do not
realize what an advantage it is to
have such industries in our midst
in so new a country. Such advanc-
ment as Western South Dakota is
experiencing has never been known
in new countries. Mr.. Saxton, vice
president of the Mill Go. says they
are actually turning out 1872 bbls.
of flour daily and that if business
demands it they can easily turn
out $50 bbls. daily with the present
equipment. Our stores are hand
ling the Philip -four and it seems
to give satisfaction. You try it.
Patronize home industries and help
build our western institutions thus
putting money in your own pocket
by increasing home market and the
value of your land. Mr.. Saxton
gave us a sample of their graham
-four and it was sure good. Pow

Services Were Interesting

The services conducted by Rev.
ID. Edward Evans, of Huron, at
the Presbyterian chur ch last week
were full of interest to all who
attended. Sunday Rev. Evans
preached the morning sermon and
conducted the communion service.
Eight new members were added to
the roll, and two of these were
baptized at the morning service.
Rev. O. f. Tell preached the
evening sermon to a full house.
Pastor Evangelist Evans has been
very desirous of securing Rev.
Tell as pastor for the church for
the coming year, which will begin
April 1st, and was delighted that
both Rev. Tell and the church are
favorably considering the PROPOSE
tion that will secure his services
for the full time after that date.
The Sunday evening service was
embellished by special music fur
nished by the orchestra.
Rev. Tell will conduct services
both morning and evening next
Sunday.

Parcels Post For The People

Who SO greatly need it, will
surely come now, if only the
people most interested will let their
representatives in Washington
know they want it.
Today we are being held up by
the most outrageous express charg-
es in the known world. On the 10th
of last February, Investigations
showed that the Adams express
company was able to declare a div
idend of over 80 per cent a year
on the amount invested in their
business, and in 1907 made a div
idend of $4,000, 900.
Is it any wonder that these
people are able to.get close to our
representatives at Washington,
and with the aid of the we'll paid
representatives of the merchants
association who will stoop to such
things, can convince our listening
congressman that tho dear people
do not know what is really best fo1
them. Ihey tell our representative.
that We do not need posts Of thi,
Philip weekly review. [volume] (Philip, Stanley County, S.D.) 1907-1912, 1910-01-20
kind, although the civilized world

kind, although the civilized world
now enjoys them.
The merchants are childishly
frank about this, and plainly say
they oppose parcels post, however
much good it may do the people,
simply and only because they fear
if we have them, that little more
trading will be done direct with
the manufacturer. The express
companies simply keep still and let
us guess what their selfish reason
is, but with the merchants organ
izations, see to it that our congress-
men are constantly reminded of the
fact that they do not want par
cells post, and that the farmers Of
the country and other common
people do not know what they
want.
Even honest congressman, with
one side constantly bounding them,
and the other side keeping still
may get the impression that those
who hound them are right. 1t is up
to us to at least say plainly to both
the congressman and senators of
our states, that we are simply
ashamed of ourselves and of our
representatives, to be without this
greatest modern convenience when
nearly all other civilized nations
enjoy it, simply because heartless
combines bluff, fool, or otherwise
convince the peoples representa-
tives that the people do not care
for what all the rest of the world
does care for, and gets. We believe
the representatives of our territory
are as a rule. manly, fair minded
men, and can be depended upon. if
only we let them know what we
want.
President Taft has spoken plainly
frankly and fearlessly, and now it
is up to us to be as plain and frank
with our congressman and senators,
and the thing will he done. 1t will
not take ten words to tell these
men how we feel, and how we will
vote at poll and primary if atten-
tion is not paid tosoHr wants as
well as to those of over-rich cor
porations. We are simply going to
have parcels posts and postal banks
or we are going to vote for men
who will give them to us.-Dak-
ota Farmer.
