FOR REllef OF HEADS OF FAMILIES.

The republican state platform pledges the candidates for the state senate and hou,e of represen- tatives to these propositions of vital importance to poor men raising families:
 We advocate liberal exemption Jaws, and that heads of families shall be exempted hy law from 'Gsxation on property to the extent "Of $200."
 "We favor free text books in the "put lie schools"
 Every year the poor man strng- gling to raise family finds very burdensome the two exactions from which the above pledges are designed to relieve him. All feel ing those burdens should stand for their own relief by supporting and voting for the republican ticket.

RECEPTION TO MR.. AND MRS. w. H. SLADE.
The following clipping from the Akron

to many of the older residents of West

was born in this town in the house now
occupied by George Parkhill and lived
here a number of years. He was an
own cousin to the late Benjamin Fields :
Or. and Mrs. A. A. Kohler and Mr..
and Mrs. Ed Voris were hosts and hos.
tesses Saturday from until o'clock, at
a reception in honor of the Goth wedding
anniversary of their parents, MIR. and
Mrs William II. Slade. The event was
one of great pleasure to the old couple.
\ large number of their friends, num-
boring among the old and young, called
during the afternoon and extended their
best wishes and congratulations. Mrs.
f. 2. Otis sang several old time songs
and other music was enjoyed. All of
the guests registered in a guest book and
this will prove a fitting souvenir of the
occasion. A buffet lunch was served,
the reception being held at the spacious
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Voris on Fir
street. Five children of Mr. and Mrs.
Slade were able to be present at this
gathering, several coming a long dis

Mrs. Frank j. Kaher of Mt. Clair, N. j., Z;
Miss Belle Slade and Mrs E. w. Martin
of Palo Alto, Cal. Mrs. Slade is now 10
