LEADING"
Furniture
House

We recognize the fact
that when we asserted our
claim years ago to be the
Leaders in Furniture"
we also assumed the re-
sponsibility to maintain
that claim. This claim has
been sustained by the pub
lie as shown by the in
creased patronage given
us and the steady growth
of this business. Faithful
to that claim we are strlv-
ing to better our service,
enlarge our acquaintance
and provide for the public
a wider range of choice
furniture from which Sc
lections can be made. We
have recently received
large shipments of the
Finest Furniture we have
ever shown. Every piece
has been selected with re-
gard to it's intrinsic worth,
structural integrity, artis-
tic finish and accurate re-
production of Period De-
signs. We wish you to see
these new goods before
they are sold, to have your
discriminating comment
and expression on the
Adam styles in Mahogany
and White Enamel, the
English Period designs in
Mahogany, the Mary
Stuart Dining Suit, the
Jacobean and other repro
auctions in Oak Of the old
museum finish, many of
these pieces cannot be du-
plicated this season, and
if you are interested in
beautiful furniture you
should see these before
they are gone. An hour
Or two can be used with
pleasure and profit looking
at our windows in the
evening when the lights
are on, as hundreds Of men
and women are seen to co,
but we prefer you coming
during the day when we
can give you helpful in
formation and service.
Come and let us show
you.
& Humble,
The Leaders.

These must indeed be progressive

pray on the syrapathies Of their list
erers BY most severe announcement
of the colored voter bat at the
meeting held here list week 70,
one word was said against him.
And this is followed up by direct
solicitation Of his vote. The democra-

think they are fooling the coIored

will not be fooled. He knows his

BY vote of AZ to II, two not
voting, William Salzer was on Sat
urday last removed from the office Of
Governor of New York by the i'm
parchment tribunal.
1t is said that bis impeachment
md removal from office was brought
about by Tsmmany whose wrath was
aroused because Sulzer would not
submit to the dictates of Tammsny-
While the people cannot and do not
condone the wrongful acts of the
Governor as set out in the impeach-
ment charges there is nevertheless a
wide spread sympathy fol him be-
cause he II fused to do the bidding OF
Tammanv bnt carried out the oath
he took when inaugurated to uphold
the constitution of the Tinted States
and the State of New York. Gov
ernor Sulzer promised thst he would
be the servant Of the whole people
rather than Of any one man and do
ing this to the best Of his ability he
aroused the ire of the boss of Tam
many Hall and thus the impeach-
ment.
The deposed Governor was moi
barred from holding public Office and
the high personal regard in which
he Is held was demonstrated upon
bis return to New York and his nom
ination for ass-mblymen in the next
New York Legislature. From daily
reports in the newspapers his cleo
ton is conceded. Though as said
heretofore his wrongful acts as set
ont IN the impeachment proceedings
cannot lie condoned yet he must be
commended for the boldness to stand
up squarely for the interest of the
people rather than that of the
busses

THE REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGN
OPENED.

The Republican campaign in this
county was open d on Saturday last
with an overwhelming meeting in
the Town Hall here in the afternoon
and large meeting at Benedict that
night.
The large attendance at both
meetings augurs strongly for the
success OF the Republican, State and
local tickets in the coming election
Many ladies attended the meeting
and the large number of white poo
pile at both meetings was particularly
noticeable and commented upon by
all. The large attendance Of white
people shows that prejudice is thing
of the past and that the white citi-
zenship Of the county Is awaketo the
real issues of the campaign and are
anxious to do their part in promot-
ing the welfare of their State and
County by supporting the candidates
who-. they believe and know will
lend their efforts singularly in the
effort to promote the general welfare
of their State and County.
Their presence shows further thai
the white people of The county are
recognizing shat the Republican par
ty has done in the past and is doing
more for the material interests and
welfare Of the great masses Of the
people than the common ene'ns, the
democratic party; and again that the
Republican party can be relied upon
TO give the people of this nation,
slate and county fair, honest and
economical administration of affairs
free from politics.
The large attendance at these
meetings should not onl y prove an
incentive and an encouragement to
all loyal Republicans TO pull off their
coats ia enter the tray with a de-
termined effort to defeat the enemy
and pile the majority sky high, but
should serve as an incentive to all
good citizens of the county regard
less of their political utilization who
are interested in the welfare, adj
vancement and prosperity of their
nation, state and county to attend the
local Republican meetings, meet the
candidates and hear the issues dis
cussed. The issues of the campaign
will be discussed in fan aud i'm
partial manner BY the candidates and
other speakers, hence, every voter
can after hearing the issues discussed
vote with intelligence, and with a
purpose single to the best interests Of
this great nation, our grand old Com
monwealth and county.
The speeches at the meeting here
and at Benedict made by men Of
prominence in tbs nation, state and
county showed and demonstrated
mos; foreibIy that the interests Of the
great masses of the people are safesi
in the hands Of the Republican party
the party of action and not alone o
promises.
Promises before election are easily
made and easily broken, but the peo
Die want men t. represent them who
will carry out the promises
made III their respective rarity plat
