supporter during the Colonel's battle
for the republican presidential nomi-
nation, issued statement in which
he declared his belief that there is
no necessity for a new political par
ty." He also stated he hoped Roose-

acter, temperament, preparation
and fitness is above the high average
of American presidents. He is a
Christian. scholar and fearless
citizen.
Republicans can vote for Wilson
without leaving their party or bolt
ing. The real republican party has
no candidate for president this year.
There has been no nomination. The
action of the political freebooters at
Chicago is not binding upon the re-

Wilson and Marshall.

Hopkinsville has but two Wilson's
and only one Marshall. although
both names are not uncomman ones.
The Wilson's are Walter A.
Wilson and Neal B. Wilson. and
the Marshall is George Owen

80 times and the second 3 times in
the new directory. but the gentle

colored people are represented by
several families.

Father, Capt. Ned Camp
bell, Against Taft.

Gabe L. Campbell, formerly Coun-
ty Court Clerk, and one of the most
influential leadera of the Republican
party in Christian county, authoriz-
ed the statement that he will sup
port Wilson over Taft. He qualities
it only by the statement that if
Roosevelt runs and he thinks there
is chance for him to be elected, he
will vote for the Colonel. Otherwise
his vote will be put where it will do
the most good in defeating Taft. He
also says his venerable father. Capt.
Ned Campbell, of Henderson, will
vote as he does. Capt. Campbell is
one of the most prominent Republi-
cans in Western Kentucky and both
he and his son are lifelong Republi-
cans who have never before failed to
support the party ticket.
Mr.. Campbell is one of a large
number of Christian county Republi-
cans who boldly state that they will
not support Taft.
Some of them say they will sup
port Wilson. while others are await
ing Developments. AS nearly all of
thecolored people.were for Roosevelt,
the revolt among them also is ex-
pected to be something unprecedent-
ed in this county.

In addition to money collected, as
reported above. the West KY. Or
phans' Aid Society has fully demon
strated its value as an auxiliary to
the Home. This organization has
practically assumed the burden of
clothing children, and are nobly per-
forming their part. Through their
efforts, in addition to clothing fur
nished, | beg to report the receipt of
Substantial donations of drugs, ice,
groceries, china and tinware, lawn
swing and other articles of value.
From the country a nice ham has
been received from our good friend
L. o. Garrett and nice donation of
preserves and jellies from Mrs. w.
E. Allen. Of near Garrettsburg.
Our finances have in large part
come to US unsolicited And while
we have not had sufficient to enable
us to cover the field as closely as we
would like and hope in the future to
do. yet we have promptly responded
TO every call and met every demand
made upon US. We have taken chill
dren from the lowest depths of pow
erty. want and misery. ragged and
begrimed with filth. and now have
them in some Of the best homes to
be found in this or any other part
of the state, and almost weekly we
receive letters from their foster par
ents. literally bubbling over with
joy in possession of the child and
gratitude to US for bring ng it to
them.
A can not say positively but am
quite sure that no other institution
has taken a dependent child from
this end of the state during the year.
In fact we have them in the Home
now who tried all of last year to get
into other institutions and failing to
do so were yet homeless and In great
need when we recently found and
promptly relieved them. We are
certainly doing the work that is
being done. while others are Wig
orously canvassing the field and get
ting the money.

LOCAL PARAGRAPHS.

No more holidays, excepting
emanci. alton day (Which doesn't
count here). until labor day.
No price has been fixed on wheat.
There has been so much rain that
large per cent may never be thresh-
ed.
Two hearts may beat as one.
but two telephone lines that serve as
one is certainly one of the latest in.
novations.
Local Democrats are generally sat-
isfed with the Baltimore nominal
ton. but we have heard nothing of
ratification.
After news was received here that
Woodrow Wilson had been nominal
ed at Baltimore the "I-told-you-sos"
were very much in evidence.
GAINESVILLE was well represented
at the ball game Thursday and the
visitors were we'll paid for coming
and returned home much enthused.
Nearly every business house in the
city closed for the ball game on the
morning of the Fourth and they
went to see our team go down in de-
feat.
Haven't heard anything about
work being commenced on the post
office building for two weeks. The
foundation will doubtless be laid be-
fore fall-or it ought to be.
The big sewer emptyinG into the
river at the foot of Tenth street may
be voted Complete success. Two
unusually hard rains have fallen
since its completion and we have had
no overflows.
Original Wilson men are numer-
Gus here but we know of none who
will expect to be appointed to Office
when the Democratic nominee gets
into the chair at Washington. They
are for Wilson because he does not
part his name between two rs and
is a man of brains and is honest
through and through.
Perhaps there we're fewer people
at prayer meeting last Wednesday
night than for many years. Just at
the time people were getting ready
to start from home heavy rain and
wind storm came up from the west
and everybody had to stay indoors,
The attendance at the largest church
was s and at one of the smallest it
was 9.
A person would naturally suppose
that the gradual increase in sales of
automobiles would cut down the
sale of buggies and Surveys, but
such is not the case. Though more
automobiles have been sold here
than in any other year, dealers in
buggies. etc.. have increased their
sales over those Of last year. This
spells general prosperity" in cap
itals.

SPECIAL ELECTION

On Tuesday, February Goth,
there will be a special election in
Custer county to vote for or a.
yainst the issuance of about
$40, 600 worth Of bonds for the
building Of three new bridges in
the northern part of the county.
Are you going to vote? That is
the all important question. The
voters in this section of the coun-
ty should begin to study the i'm
portance of this election and pre-
pare to cast their ballot on that
date. This election means just
as much to the voters in the
southern part of the county as it
does to those who live within
walking distance Of the sites
proposed for the new bridges. If
you want to save what few
"simoleons" you have left in
your pocketbook, vote. Improve
ments that are necessary in the
county Shout be made but when
it comes to making Improvements
just for the sake Of aiding some
Of the real estate promoters, its
time to halt.

TALKING BRIDGE MATTERS.

A. c. Clifford and Chas. Han
son, two we'll known residents of
Fallon were visiting old-time
friends in town Wednesday af-
ternoon and yesterday morning,
and incidently talking over mat
tiers pertaining to the coming
special election which will be held
in Custer County next month.
These gentlemen made this Of
flee a very pleasant call and ad-
vanced their reasons for their
asking the voters of Custer coun-
ty for bridge near their town,
which is one of the three to be
voted on. Those who are not
acquainted with the topography
OF the country in that section, it
looks as if the voters are being
asked to vote for some improve.
ments that are entirely unnec-
essary but those who have been
at Fa!lon express themselves as
in favor of that bridge as we'll as
we'll as the one near Terry, Civ
ing as their reasons, the great
distance that the people Of that
section are now obliged to go in
order to cross the Yellowstone at
Terry. The residents of Fallon
and those north of town must
now cover q distance Of some IS
miles in order to cross this stream
on the bridge at Terry and should
they wish to go overland to the
county seat they must travel by
way Of Knowlton, a trip Of over
100 miles. Should the bridge a.
cross Powder river, near Terry,
be constructed it will shorten the
trip just one-half. This latter
bridge proposition was voted on
at the last general election and
was carried, but for some un-
known reason was considered
illegal.
This paper is willing to give
its support to any and all i'm
provements that are needed in
the county and we believe that
we have been convinced there is
an urgent need for a bridge at
Fallon and Terry. AS for the
Miles City proposition, we believe
that they can very we'll get along
with the bridge that they already
have-at least for a year or two.

The handsome majority given

the progress of Tupelo.
There can be no question OF
the necessity of street improve

of our city that is not abreast of
the times. The city officials

quently used streets and in
doing so, should see that only
frst-class material properly laid
is accepted. The satisfying balm
to those who opposed the bond
issue comes in realizing that they
will have full enjoyment of and
reap all the benefits to be deriv-
ed from good streets. just as the
